Top Holyrood Abbey Hotel Reviews

Market Street Hotel

8/10 Good

"We had an Artist's Loft room on the first floor. Room was fine and included a minibar set up which was nice. It was quiet enough. Location was perfect for accessing the airport bus, the Hop On Hop Off bus, walking to Edinburgh Castle, the train station and the Royal Mile with all it's many restaurants. Downside was housekeeping skipped us one day when we were out from 10am to 3pm, even though we put out the card to make up the room, so no coffee or minibar snacks refresh. Looked like mold behind the shower door so I doubt they close it when cleaning, although most of room was clean."

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast was extremely good value, and the staff really hussled. I would have liked the pool to open at 6 am."

ibis Edinburgh Centre South Bridge - Royal Mile

8/10 Good

"There are two Ibis hotels near the Royal Mile zone of Edinburgh and this one is further in the south, still only a short walk to Waverley Station and pretty much everywhere you'd like to walk to in the city. It is quiet and private, even ithe hotel front faces the busy street and busy traffic. Many restaurants and convenience stores are just outside, super easy to grab sandwiches and drinks outside"

"The hotel's location was perfect, close to restaurants, shops, and attractions. The staff at check-in were extremely friendly and helpful, making my experience even more enjoyable .

Apex Waterloo Place Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great breakfast, wonderful staff and really good location. My only negative comment is the pull down blinds were quite tattered and safe wasn’t working on check in but they replaced safe door right away and taped up blinds to provide darkness in room. They were very responsive to my room issues and everyone I met was beyond nice and helpful. The Scottish breakfast was wonderful!! I 1000% appreciate that they provided my requested room! Thank you!! I will stay there next year because they are such good people!! And good room!"
