Leonardo Royal Hotel Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Great location a short walk from the main city attractions, brand new room which was spotless and well thought out. Comfy bed. Very good range of options for breakfast Looks ugly from the outside but don’t let that put you off as insight is superb Highly recommended "
