Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
It was overall a pleasant stay in the residence. The staff, most especially Romik were warm and welcoming. I even got a room upgrade which I highly appreciated not to mention the comfty bed! Location is also convenient as you have direct buses that can take you to the city center. I highly recommend staying at this accommodation.

Good place to stay, easy access to the city.

Excellent and friendly welcome, room was checked over before giving us the keys, answered our questions (regarding public transport to Edinburgh). Good night’s sleep, comfortable and quiet. Good continental breakfast in the morning was good, with good service, option of coffees which where brought to the table. Would recommend this hotel, not large but good.

All staff were perfect. They made us feel special. Continental breakfast was not enough. Our room was close to street we could hear the car's sounds and there was a noise from stairs constantly. Hotel could be considered close to the city centre. Bus station in front of the hotel.

The people who run the Abbey are lovely! Very nice service indeed. We had a good stay there. About 15 minutes drive from centre of Edinburgh, very convenient and easy to get to. Place a bit run down but still comfortable and clean.

The Abbey is in a great location… about 20 mins drive from Edinburgh. The service was very good and the proprietors were lovely and offered great service. Breakfast was excellent. While the accommodation is basic it was clean and we were very comfortable there. TV also had Netflix which was great. A good place to stay if you’re on a budget and want to be close enough to Edinburgh to enjoy it without the expense and crowds!

This hotel is on a bus route straight into city and was definitely a great value for money option. It has a new owner who is working hard to make it a great destination. He was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good too - small buffet but fresh and tasty. I’d definitely stay again.
