Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests often appreciate the Sheraton Grand Hotel & Spa's proximity to Edinburgh Castle and other city centre attractions, making it easy to explore on foot. The rooms are frequently described as spacious, and some offer a beautiful castle view; many also highlight the modern lighting. The One Spa is a major draw, although some guests have noted an additional fee for access beyond the pool. The hotel also provides family packages, including interconnecting rooms and kids-eat-free options, plus some found the food to be outstanding.

difficult lighting unhelpful suggestion
The lighting in the bathroom made applying makeup difficult. I had to sit by the window with a compact mirror. also, a staff member told my husband he could access the club area for coffee, but his access card did not work. instead of fixing it, the staff member suggested he return to our room for coffee. This was not helpful at all.

Excellent Stay

convenient location comfortable bed friendly staff
The location was convenient, close to many attractions. The room was very spacious, and the bed was comfortable. I found the air conditioning very effective. The staff were friendly. I felt welcomed and well-cared for throughout my stay.
The breakfast choices were limited, and some items lacked flavour. The service at breakfast was notably slow, especially during peak hours. The coffee was repeatedly served cold. I hope this issue is addressed soon.

Acceptable hotel experience

helpful staff clean hotel hair salon small room limited choices slow service
The staff was very helpful and always available. They assisted me with my luggage. The hotel was quite clean throughout my stay, which I appreciated. I also found a hair salon just a few minutes away, VERY convenient.
The room was a bit small, even for just one person. Breakfast choices included in the room price were limited. The service during breakfast was rather slow during peak hours and my coffee was often cold.
