The Leonardo Royal Edinburgh - Never Again
We have stayed at The Leonardo Royal Hotel Edinburgh before, but never again! We requested a front facing room but the hotel allocated us a room at the back. View of the beautiful city? NO. A brick wall a few feet from your window. Peaceful? NO. Unless you get up before 7.45am. There is a building/construction site outside the back facing rooms - a sort of built-in alarm clock of noise, So for old folk, no chance of an afternoon nap either, and during the night and on a Sunday the site's generator stays on. And just in case the workmen take a break, the hotel's garbage/bin area is right below the back windows, just a different noise to add to the cacophony! We did complain to the front desk that we had requested a front room but to no avail. Two bottles of red wine and a free breakfast were offered in compensation, the breakfast was excellent but red wine at 7.45am - no thanks. We visit Edinburgh every year - 2025 will see us stay at a different location!
