Hotels near Granton Beach in Edinburgh

We travelled to Edinburgh with a team of 22 teenage girls representing our county at a Gaelic football tournament and the staff and management of the Village Hotel were amazing from start to finish. The location, although out of town, suited our purposes as we could walk to our sports venue. As we were a large group we booked through the dedicated Village Hotel sports desk team, Jessica and Louise, who were fantastic and the made the process trouble free. We arrived an hour later than planned due to delayed flights but reception had all our room keys ready, rooms pre-allocated by name so we’re knew exactly where each girl was and all the rooms were together - very useful when you have 22 teenagers to corral! The sports desk organised a pre-ordered meal for our arrival on the Friday night which was carried out seamlessly by the restaurant and our late arrival was not an issue. The food was fantastic and each order was delivered correctly. We had parents who had driven up to Scotland through torrential and the restaurant staff kept them a meal and had them served before they had their coats off. Absolutely faultless service from the check in staff and everyone in the kitchen and restaurant. The sports desk team also organised a buffet for our team on the Saturday night. We expected the usual chips, chicken nuggets, burgers etc but there was also mini toad in the holes that weren’t mini at all, chicken breast, potatoes, veg, salad, pasta, desserts, fruit, plenty of water and juices and teas and coffees for us exhausted coaches and assistants. A special mention to the chefs, Chris and George who went far and above expectations and looked after us all amazingly. Another faultless service from everyone in the kitchen. Nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast was brilliant. Plenty of everything and enough choice for the fussiest of teenage girls - nobody went hungry. Our rooms were clean and warm and all the twin rooms had 2 double beds which was a huge luxury for our girls. All in all, the Village Hotel was the perfect venue for our group and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again. Thank you to the management and staff for making what could have been a nightmare trip a breeze.

First time I’ve stayed here in a while and have to say it was a much better stay. Rooms had been modernised and mind had a walk in shower rather than a tiny bath , not sure if all rooms are updated but if you ask for walk in shower you will get a new room Location. Is good aside from a tricky junction outside where if travelling east it’s more awkward, nearly had a taxi come into the side of me. Retail park across the road Nice bar with some food options

Good location if based in Leith, buses from downtown and the airport express 200 stop directly outside and close to the Leith canal walkway which is nice. Currently lots of construction of the tram outside which makes the location look uglier and harder to navigate than normal. Rooms are good clean and acceptable size. Breakfast is ok. Some of the staff are quite surly, very grumpy when I checked in and refused to help me extend my booking, forcing me to have to book another place.

Myself and my boyfriend stayed here for a few nights on our visit to Edinburgh. We were very delighted with the room we had, it was nice and clean. The bar staff and the staff who welcomed us were also very pleasant. It’s a great addition to have the swimming pool, but it desperately needs updating and more frequent cleaning. We enjoyed our swims, but the area where the sun beds are is carpet, and on the carpet there were things like toenail clippings and it was generally not very clean (each time we visited the pool). The changing rooms could do with an update too but I wasn’t too fussed as you don’t spend a long time in there. For the price, I thought the stay was perfectly reasonable and we overall had a great time at the Leonardo Murrayfield.

The hotel is fab the staff are great and cannot do more for you , lovely touches provided by guest relations concierge & reception staff are so lovely , catering & bar staff great , the room was lovely , great shower and local produce in rooms such as the coffee etc , social hour is a nice touch and breakfast was great , i would stay here again we had a lovely stay ... however the spa lets it down This was a special birthday suprise for my other half i booked the spa for treatments for us . We were late on arrival due to rail strikes and i missed my spa appointment which is fine i expect that if you are not on time. My partner was still able to recieve his treatment however we were provided with no towels robes or slippers , no info regarding lockers . The massuise gave my partner a robe and was suprised one was not already provided for him after he had to walk around after getting changed into swimwear .The water machine in the ladies changing room did not work the only water available was from a tap in the toilet not ideal as the next water machine was in the lobby opposite the gym , especially not ideal if u have no robe or slippers or towel to go out to it . So if you are are a lady there is no drinking water available , very undignified !! I was not shown to the relaxation room and couldnt go in even if i wanted to as i had no towel or robe . My partner told me the mens changing room stank of urine from a pipe . The staff were not very helpfull or attentive and the service at the spa does not reflect the service or same level of standard as the rest of the hotel . I have had better service at a local lesuire centre and would not use this ”spa” again . My partner and I often use spas and this was by far the worst spa expeirience dissapointing as it was his birthday. I could maybe understand if it was busy but it wasnt .

It's really close to Waverley station and the hotel facilities are good. The room size is several times that of London, and I was able to sleep comfortably. It's just that I washed the shower curtain and didn't dry it properly, so it smells rotten. It was a one-night stay and I just slept because it was a late check-in, but it was worth the Hilton name, but the smell was a bit too much. Other than that everything was good.

The lobby of the hotel is very large and there are many rooms, but the rooms are relatively old, and the hygiene of the details needs to be strengthened. There are ample and free parking spaces, and it is close to the zoo, so you can go shopping by the way.

This was our second time at this hotel and we stayed for almost a week. You can't beat the location on George Street, right downtown, close to shops and restaurants. The hotel is beautiful and the rooms and bathrooms are very nice. The king bed had a good mattress and pillows. There is a safe. They seem to have made upgrades since our last pre-covid stay, including air-conditioning in (all?) rooms. As you would expect in a big city, the rooms are quite small and the hotel is not exactly quiet; also depending on where your room faces. We were right by the elevator, which I generally don't like. I wonder if it's because we booked through our credit card and not direct. It seems there is sometimes a ”penalty'. The rooms are supplied daily with water, delicious cookies and snacks. You can make individual cups of drip coffee in a filter, which is much better than instant coffee but not as good as a Nespresso, IMHO. We had breakfast included and the Printing Press is just wonderful, for breakfast, any meal and later evening cocktails and whiskey. The Burr & Co is a coffee shop, also right next door, with tables outside. Love that place. The hotel has great service. We lost a suitcase and got daily support in checking on the status and changing the address on the delivery. There seemed to be a shortage on hair conditioner and we didn't have a sign for do-not-disturb the first day and got woken at 8 AM, but that didn't spoil our enjoyment of the hotel stay. We expect to be back.

The hotel is in a very good location, not far from the train station. Many attractions can be reached on foot. Shopping and eating around are also convenient! When I started checking in, I was given a room on the underground floor. I was not satisfied. After communicating and coordinating with the front desk immediately, I was moved to a room on the 8th floor. The room on the 8th floor had a view of Calton Mountain, which was very nice. of!

Stayed overnight at the Leonardo Hotel as we were hosting friends visiting from Pensilvania USA and all I can say is it was outstanding! From check in, special mention to Steve the Concierge (who diligently stored our bags and offered advice) to the welcome complimentary glass of Prosecco all of the staff were tentative and exceptionally friendly! The rooms were clean and comfortable and the restaurant for breakfast outstanding. All in all fantastic value for money and we would definitely recommend it!
