Guests consistently appreciate the spacious rooms at the Sheraton Grand Hotel & Spa, many with spectacular castle views, and well-appointed bathrooms. Its location is perfect for visiting Old and New Town and convenient for the EICC, with easy access to attractions like Edinburgh Castle and the Royal Mile. Some guests have mentioned that the public areas and restaurant feel somewhat dated. A highlight for many is the delicious breakfast, served a la carte in the One Square restaurant.

Adequate stay with some issues

modern room clean pool poor breakfast unkempt flowerbeds
The room was spacious and modern. It had a view over the square. I also enjoyed the pool area and sauna. It was quiet and clean.
The breakfast was not good. I could tell the food had been under a warmer. Outside the hotel at the front was a bit rough with cig stumps and the flower beds were full of weeds.
