“In my opinion, this is a property where luxury meets wellness, especially given its urban thermal spa and rooftop pool. I think that the commitment to sustainable practices aligns well with modern values, while the One Square Bar, with its extensive gin selection, adds a touch of local flair. The proximity to Edinburgh Castle and the Royal Mile makes it ideal for exploring the city's historic attractions.”

The Sheraton Grand Hotel & Spa is favorably situated within walking distance of Princess Street and offers lovely views, with some guests enjoying breathtaking views of Edinburgh Castle from their rooms. The rooms are often described as spacious and spotlessly clean, equipped with amenities such as a good-sized fridge and a wine bottle opener.

amazing stay!

helpful staff diligent staff very good breakfast
The staff was very helpful upon arrival. the reception floor staff was diligent. One young man paid particular attention to the immediate area outside the entrance, keeping it free from debris. breakfast was first class. it was very convenient for the city center! it was a very good experience.
i was a little disappointed because there was not much water in the room, and the minibar had to be ordered separately.

Adam, the concierge, gave such a warm welcome! the reception lady was also lovely. my partner owns a cleaning company and she thought the room was super clean! the bedding was turned down in the evening. It was such a nice touch.
The check-in process took 20 minutes, the same as checking out. breakfast was not good. The staff seemed slow and not well-trained. the coffee was dreadful.
