Top Holyrood Abbey Hotel Reviews

Apex Waterloo Place Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Was a nice room. Not very big, but its expected. I was worried about the gym as the photos online show a poorly equipped room. However, they have upgraded since then! It is still a small room, where 1-3 people can workout at the same time. But they have dumbbells up to 22KG, a seated bench press up to 100KG, a leg extension machine, a decent rower and 2 other cardio machines. Its a big hot in there and I'm not sure if the window opens, but its much better than I was expecting. Location is good, off to one end of town more but was quite and still easy to walk to main transit stations."

Virgin Hotels Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"No better location in Edinburgh. Staff was beyond helpful We had dinner in the Italian restaurant attached … so good. Would return time and time again. Great choice"

BrewDog DogHouse Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was great!"

CODE - The Court, Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Good, some lockers werent locking properly, plugs in bunk were limited. Rather have a plug than a charging port that barely charges."

YOTEL Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel and everything very clean and well maintained. Very comfortable stay. They were able to hold our bags. Would stay here again, do recommend"

Point A Edinburgh Haymarket

8/10 Good

"Nice stay - rooms are small but functional. So if you know you’ll be out and about and not spending much time in your room this works well! Breakfast included was nice but note there’s no “hot breakfast”. Think pastries, fruit, boiled egg, yogurt, etc"

Holyrood Aparthotel

8/10 Good

"Good location right on the Royal Mile. No views. Nice to have a kitchen area for eating in every so often. Liked having the OJ, milk, cheese , and yogurt in the fridge and the musilli for breakfast. We just bought our own fruit."

Courtyard by Marriott Edinburgh

8/10 Good

"This hotel is a solid choice. It has a relatively good location and was very comfortable. We did have some malfunctions with the lock on our room and had to change our keys. The grout on the tile in the shower was dirty, but not so dirty that you did not want to use the shower. I don’t think these issues are indicative of the hotel as a whole."

Holiday Inn Express - Edinburgh City Centre by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room, good location and a good stay"
