I was lucky to win a an all expenses paid stay in Edinburgh provided by Visit Scotland. We stayed for 2 nights at the Sheraton and we were very impressed. The staff were polite and helpful.
The room was spacious and clean and we had a wonderful view of the castle. Most attractions are in walking distance and there are fairly good public transport links close by.

There was plenty of choice at breakfast and the bar area was lovely.

The spa facilities are excellent and the top floor pool is beautiful.
Thank you for the Sheraton for helping to make our stay in Edinburgh so pleasant.

My husband and I booked a 3 night stay at The Sheraton Grand for our 1st wedding Anniversary. We initially booked a standard room as there were no club rooms available. The hotel were made aware of our occasion and to our pleasant surprise when we checked in we had been upgraded to a Suite room (Tay suite 536) - it was a wonderful surprise. The Hotel is perfectly situated within close proximity of Pricess Street where all the shops are and it's also close to Grassmarket where there are some nice pubs and restaurants. The room was huge with 2 TV’s, dining table and chairs, a sofa and the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in. We were given a bath robe and slippers each and some chocolates and a card from the manager, congratulating us on our anniversary, which I thought was a very nice touch. All the staff are very welcoming and friendly. We booked the use of the onespa and its facilities for only £20 each as we were hotel guests, my understanding is that if you are not a guest its £65 each. The spa is one of the best I have been to and is immaculate throughout; there are 2 saunas, 2 steam rooms, aromatic showers that smell divine. The hydropool on the roof is a fantastic feature for the spa and is lovely if the sun is out. We had an aromatherapy massage each, a lady called Kylie done mine and she tailored it to meet my needs - an asset to the hotel. I have only good things to say about this hotel, the staff, the rooms, the facilities are all of a high standard and we were made to feel special. I will definitely be returning to The Sheraton in the near future and would like to say a big Thank you to the Manager Mr. Kavanagh.

From the outside it does not really look nice, but inside it is a very nice hotel. The staff at the check in was very friendly, the Concierge gave us great tips. The room was clean, comfortable and we also had a Castle view.
The Bar is also very nice and offers a good selection of drinks and food.
You also need to use the Spa - the pool is big enough and not only a bigger bath tub.

We stayed for one night on a quick trip to Edinburgh. The hotel entrance is a little hard to find, given the system of streets in central Edinburgh. The hotel itself is modern and large. We valet-parked, which seems to be the only option. Check in was slow. Our room was mostly nice, but unfortunately smelt of sweat from a previous guest, and had a view of a nearby roof. Room service was prompt and tasty - at usual Sheraton prices. The hotel's location (to the West of Edinburgh Castle) requires a good pair of walking shoes and fitness to take you up to the Royal Mile (or a taxi!). The really great part of the hotel is its excellent adjoining fitness centre. We like to think of ourselves as connoisseurs of hotel pools - and this one is a treasure! It is very large, airy and clean - and staffed by pleasant people. If you like having the option of a relaxing swim or spa, then this is a great place to stay in Edinburgh!
