  • Hotel staff was friendly. They happily changed my room when I was unhappy with the small size of the beds.
  • The room we asked was supposed to have two double beds, but they were actually twin size.

“At first, I was not happy with the room that I was given. The room was supposed to have two double beds, but actually had two twin beds. I asked to be moved, and the staff immediately put me in a room with a king sized bed. They were very nice about it. On another note, I'm not really sure why this hotel was considered 5-star. I've stayed in hotels that were 4-star, and they were much nicer and less expensive.”

  • Clean rooms. Reasonable location.
  • Long wait times for hotel staff to answer phone.

“Hotel is about ten minutes walk from the Royal mile. Good number of restaurants and grocery stores around the hotel. Room was not what I would expect for a five star hotel. Staff took a long time to answer calls to the front desk.”

  • Rooms are spacious and clean.
  • No free anything! Not even breakfast.

“You expect higher standards from a five star location. The neighborhood has some very suspect neighbors. Bottoms up show bar, a sauna that offers Thai massage. You also expect free amenities, like WiFi, business center, or breakfast. Nothing free offered here.”

  • Good restaurants and great location.
  • Didn't think it was a 5-star property, after staying at the 5-star Grosvenor House in London.

“Great location and excellent restaurants on site. Close to Princes Street and Edinburgh Castle. Friendly staff and helpful concierge. Great value.”

  • Great location and amenities.
  • I'm 6'08" and had a room with two single beds.

“Great location and amenities but not wild about the two single beds that I was given. Beds were not too comfortable as well.”

  • Excellent location for a walking tour of Edinburgh City Center.
  • Could not get a room with anything other than twin beds.

“The Sheraton Grand has an excellent location to sightsee in the city center. It has an easy elegance, not too stuffy, with a very friendly and helpful staff - right down to how to play the par five holes on the golf course they arranged for us!”

  • The pool and spa.
  • No free internet! In this day and age, unacceptable at 5 star level.

“The rooms and general state of the hotel is by no means what you would expect from a 5 star hotel, more like 4 stars. The spa makes up for it, although you have to pay extra to access most of the facilities. There was no free internet access which is not acceptable in 2008 from a 5 star hotel.”
