Customer service was excellent, cleanliness of rooms and throughout exceptional and ambiance and decor throughout was outstanding. Food and dining set to high standards and excellent.
Access to One Spa very convenient and pleasant throughout.

Highly recommend.

Great hotel with lovely rooms and the best club lounge in Edinburgh.

Wonderful stay - great location - lovley spa
10.12.2025 Guest
Although the absolute price was a bit high, the value for money was excellent! The space was huge, equivalent to two bedrooms with bathtubs, plus an oversized living room, hallway, and walk-in closet. Gin, whiskey, vodka, cola, designated beers, and other drinks were all free to enjoy. There was twice-daily housekeeping service, and coffee capsules were refilled constantly. I was very satisfied. However, the hotel overall felt a bit dated. The main entrance surprisingly didn't lead to the lobby; it seemed to be more focused on dining and the spa. The actual lobby was hidden on the basement level with no signs.

Great location and modern hotel with good facilities and bar.

The sweetest hotel in Edinburgh you can choose high recommended
23.09.2025 Guest
A lovely hotel with a luxurious feel to it. Great service from staff even when we had an issue it was sorted swiftly and professionally. Both the restaurant and the bar, which also served food was excellent and staff everywhere were very attentive and courteous. It would be a good idea to offer the reduced breakfast rate when hotel guests change their mind for their whole stay not just on the day they check in as plans can change as tourists to Edinburgh, especially with the weather being so hit & miss! Especially if they call ahead to book a breakfast. The location of the hotel just steps away from the foot of the Edinburgh Castle is perfect and walking distance to most places. The pool is fantastic but once again, when at the pool, guests may change their mind and want to visit the spa facilities so it may be a good idea to offer an hour option for those wishing to do this. This would benefit both hotel and guests. A great hotel and I would highly recommend.

Beautiful room and bathroom. One of the best I’ve stayed in all over the world. The staff from reception to cleaners and the restaurant were all so kind and chatty and really nice people. Would not hesitate to stay again. Thank you so much for a lovely nights stay.

Sheraton Hotel that does not disappoint, with parking available and convenient access to various attractions. There are many restaurants and supermarkets nearby, and the gym is well-equipped. Also, the receptionist is very polite. I will definitely stay here again.
