Review summary

Powered by AI
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. While most found breakfast great, some guests felt the service and selection in the club room could be improved. The hotel also features a superb spa and pool area for relaxation.

amazing stay!

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.
