Leonardo Royal Hotel Edinburgh

Location first

Jeffrey Street curves down from the Royal Mile towards Waverley, so you can step off a train and be at reception in a couple of minutes. Edinburgh Castle, the National Museum of Scotland and the Edinburgh International Conference Centre are all within walking distance. That makes it especially useful for short breaks by rail, early departures, or anyone travelling with heavy bags who would rather not take a taxi.

Rooms and facilities

Room types range from doubles and twins to executive and superior king rooms, plus accessible doubles, with lift access to every floor. Rooms have en-suite bathrooms, a TV with Chromecast, a mini fridge and a Nespresso machine. The hotel has a restaurant and bar serving food through the afternoon and evening, an illy coffee bar, a gym and 24-hour room service. Breakfast runs later at weekends and on public holidays, which helps after a late night in the Old Town.

Around the hotel

Some of the Old Town's best-known bars are a minute or two away, including The World's End and The Waverley Bar on St Mary's Street. For coffee, Room & Rumours is almost next door, and the Edinburgh Larder on Blackfriars Street is good for breakfast if you skip the hotel's. Calton Hill is about ten minutes' walk away for views over the city.
