"Outstanding hotel in the heart of it all on the Royal Mile. Lovely property and room, great amenities, and superb staff. The service was truly exemplary. Highly recommended!"
"Great location. Right next to the train station and amazing views of the city from the lounge. Great place to stay in Edinburgh. Our Room had A/C which was really needed in August. Only negative is that the room was extremely small. I had to walk sideways to get around the bed. I’m a small person so it didn’t bother me that much, but for my husband it was a little cramped. "
"The room was great and so clean. The bistro had great food and service and best of all, the location was central to everything from the castle to all of the Fringe festival venues"
"The 2 bedroom unit was spacious with 2 bathrooms and a/c in the bedrooms. Everything very clean. Larger bedroom had 2 twins pushed together and its own bathroom. Other one had full bed. Generous kitchen with everything needed if want to cook a little and settle in. For those with mobility issues - note 2 sets of stairs before one get's to elevator (3 front treads and then another 15). Milk in the frig was welcome (but did not get the basket of goodies other reviewers mentioned). Nice robes,...
"Run like a hotel but with the feel of an apartment rental. This was the perfect stay. There was a ton of space, a laundry machine inside the apartment and the location was perfect! "

As if that weren't enough, they allowed us to check in early, which helped us make the most of the day. The hotel is located on the iconic Cockburn Street and just around the corner from Mary Kings Close. We also had the opportunity to walk to Victoria Street and nearby places to take photos of Edinburgh Castle. We were also able to walk to several...
"Loved staying at Abbey Strand! Very historic building but with all modern conveniences. Quiet part of Royal Mile away from noise & traffic but easy walk to anywhere. No air conditioning but temps are generally cooler. Definitely recommend a stay when in Edinburgh."
"Really enjoyed being able to do my laundry and getting the croissants. Everything was clean and in good condition for being this type of hotel. The location was excellent in the St James area."
"We attended specifically for the Edinburgh Fringe and the properties location on the Royal Mile was superb for the purpose. The property is lovely and the communications could not have been better.
It is harsh to be negative about the property however, on the basis of being even handed, i would say that particularly light sleepers might have struggled as, despite excellent sound proofing, some noise from the street below was inevitable particularly during the fringe. The bed was comfortable...
