"This was a beautiful apartment to stay in, with the perfect mix of historic charm and fresh, modern finishes. We did have a mix-up with our booking, as the room was reserved for three people but didn’t have a sleeping option for the third guest. However, reception responded quickly and made things right, which we really appreciated. Overall, we had a lovely stay and I would definitely stay here again."

Top Holyrood Abbey Hotel Reviews

Market Street Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We love to stay in this hotel when we come to Edinburgh. The rooms are so comfortable and well throught through. We also love having a glass of champagne in the bar whilst watching the sun set over the Edinburgh skyline. Make sure you get full value from your stay with the complimentary mini-bar and in-room coffee maker, etc."

YOTEL Edinburgh, Select by Hilton

"M"

Motel One Edinburgh-Royal

8/10 Good

"Really liked the hotel just wish there would have been more description about the room. The photos show a room with big windows hot to the hotel and it was a small window looking right at a wall. Was so bummed out! Also keep in mind there is no AC so you’ll probably want to open your windows which is fine expect it’s near a pub I heard everything from singing and drunk people up until around 4am very loudly and then people fighting. Other than that great location."

Leonardo Royal Hotel Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. Clean and comfortable room. Staff was very friendly and helpful."

voco Edinburgh - Royal Terrace by IHG

8/10 Good

"This is an old property that has lots of charm that I enjoyed. If you want modern looking, you may not like it. The staff did a great job to take care of any needs. They offer a really good buffet breakfast and dinner each day. You may find a local restaurant or diner at a cheaper price for each meal if you need to watch your costs. It is within 15-30 minutes walk from a ton of places. We never never took a cab the week we visited. The hotel is clean, the staff was great, and it was convenient to many places. I would stay there again."
