From the outside it does not really look nice, but inside it is a very nice hotel. The staff at the check in was very friendly, the Concierge gave us great tips. The room was clean, comfortable and we also had a Castle view. The Bar is also very nice and offers a good selection of drinks and food. You... more

We stayed for one night on a quick trip to Edinburgh. The hotel entrance is a little hard to find, given the system of streets in central Edinburgh. The hotel itself is modern and large. We valet-parked, which seems to be the only option. Check in was slow. Our room was mostly nice, but unfortunately smelt of sweat from a... more

Stayed in this hotel as part of a conference and was very impressed from the outset. The location is great, on Lothian road and close to the financial district and also the city centre. The staff were fabulous. Genuinely friendly and helpful. The hotel is lovely and definitely above the average 5 star standard. My room was large and comfortable.... more

Four of us stayed in rooms 424 and 428 on Saturday 2 August. The Hotel was excellent, the rooms being brilliant with the biggest and most comfortable bed i have slept in, that includes previous hotels in Europe and America. I dont understand some of the previous reviews, dont let them put you off! Staff were very friendly with a... more

I've stayed at the Sheraton a bunch of times, usually for the 6 nations rugby, but most recently to show my girlfriend some of my beloved Scotland. I think the hotel has taken some unnecessary stick in other reviews. The best bits: The bar is so comfortable with a top range of wiskeys. I have nearly fallen asleep there on... more

Stayed at the Sheraton in Edinburgh twice on my recent trip to Scotland. We were there for two nights in a club room with a castle view, then we went and toured the countryside and came back to the Sheraton for our last night in the country. On this last night we stayed in a regular (no view) room. In... more

This ideally located hotel would benefit a lot from a refurbishment. Our rooms were dark and dated with old and scratched furniture, had very thin walls and were never ready before 3-4 p.m. The bathrooms were not really that clean, with mold growing on the shower curtain. Breakfast was average. Some of the restaurant staff were unpleasant and rude. I... more

I’ve got to say that I think the Sheraton is coming in for some unnecessary criticism here and is still a fine hotel. We stayed there for 3 days (17-20 July 2008) and couldn’t fault the attitude of the staff. They were courteous and went out of their way to help, nothing was too much trouble. Maybe the difference is... more

The hotel is o.k. Dont pay extra for a Club Room. (With lavish decor as described on the website) The decor is basic hotel stuff and is well worn. The bathroom is so small and will only hold one pearson. The Club lounge and breakfast is so poor I never used it and ate out. This hotel is worth no... more
