The Spotlight on Leonardo Royal Hotel Edinburgh - Formerly Jurys Inn

Modern Comfort in Edinburgh's Historic Heart

Stylish and centrally located, Leonardo Royal Hotel Edinburgh - Formerly Jurys Inn puts you right in the middle of the action. Nestled in the Old Town just off the Royal Mile, this hotel blends classic Edinburgh charm with modern design. It's less than a 5-minute walk from Waverley Train Station—perfect for getting in, getting settled, and getting to the show.

Why Concert-goers love it

With major venues a short stroll away, you can skip the taxi queue and walk to gigs with ease. The hotel’s central location means you’re never far from the music—and the post-show comfort. Late check-out at 12:00 PM gives you time to sleep in after a big night, and the nearby train station makes late-night travel a breeze. Despite being in a lively area, guests report surprisingly quiet rooms thanks to thoughtful soundproofing.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends wanting to explore the city between sets
  • Solo travelers catching a dream concert
  • Couples turning a gig into a romantic weekend
  • Fans seeking a peaceful place to crash after the encore
  • Budget-minded concert-goers wanting value and location

Food and Drink Options

The hotel’s restaurant serves an international dinner menu, while the bar offers snacks, lunch, and proper coffee—ideal for a pre-concert bite or a late return snack. While there’s no 24/7 room service, there are plenty of eateries around the Royal Mile that stay open late. Breakfast is available on-site, even if you roll in a little later than usual.

Nightlife Options

You're steps from some of Edinburgh’s most popular bars and pubs. Whether you’re into traditional whisky lounges or modern cocktail spots, you’ll find something nearby. While the hotel doesn’t host live music on-site, its central location means you can find a venue with a quick walk.

What People Say

Guests love the spacious rooms, especially the comfy Dream beds and sleek bathrooms with spa-like toiletries. The location is a consistent highlight—close to everything, but peaceful inside. Many reviewers also mention the helpful staff and the ease of arriving via Waverley Station.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that the decor could feel a little generic compared to the historic surroundings. Also, while the bar menu is decent, more late-night food options on-site would be a plus for post-gig cravings.

The Bottom Line

A smart pick for concert-goers wanting modern comfort and unbeatable location right in the heart of Edinburgh’s cultural scene.

Superb location

Liked: The location is fantastic. Very close to the station and High Street. Breakfast was great. Had the best omelettes for breakfast.
Disliked: The corridors on 3rd floor had a very strong "paint " like smell. On one of the days the room was not serviced even after reminders.

Request to be on the...

Liked: The location was perfect, and we visited during the last weekend of the Fringe—understandably, it was incredibly busy. We knew we were paying a premium to stay here, and we were excited about it. After arriving overnight from Canada, we checked in late in the afternoon with our four-year-old. The room itself was lovely, but unfortunately, our window was directly above the hotel’s garbage area.Exhausted and trying to sleep off jet lag, we were kept awake all night by the sound of bottles and garbage being emptied into bins. At this price point, that was pretty disappointing.On a positive note, the breakfast and the staff at breakfast were exceptional, which was definitely a redeeming quality.
Disliked: There's always a 'cheap room', I get that, I just didn't think $800 CAD would be it .

Nice hotel, but skip breakfast!

Liked: Our room was great, very clean, lots of towels and the ac worked very well.
Disliked: The refrigerator was a “cooler” not a frig and it didn’t keep anything cold. I called the front desk and was told that’s what they used. Breakfast was included, but the restaurant was crowded and the buffet looked good, but wasn’t. Most of the pastry/bread products were stale, the buffet food was cold. One day there was a chef making omelettes on request and those were fine, but he wasn’t there on the other day of our stay. I overheard one of the workers telling another guest that they might want to eat elsewhere!
