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.

The Abbey Residence experience

I very much enjoyed my stay at the Abbey Residence. The highlight of it all is of course the people. Hosts insisted on doing anything in their power to make your stay exceptional. All the advice on how to plan the stay and sightseeing in Edinburgh or in other areas made the experience much more easier and relaxed and very comfortable. It's not like it's ideal place on Earth, it's close to one of the main streets in the area so if you're sensitive to noise just remember your earplugs. I very much hope to be back sooner than later. Thanks for the lovely time!

So-

The room was good. Clean and comfortable BUT it was very noisy late at night and early in the morning with people walking about on VERY noisy floorboards in the room above ours. Couldn't get to sleep for ages and then was woken at the crack of dawn. NOT GOOD!! The hotel manager was super helpful and very courteous, nothing was too much trouble. The building itself could do with improvements making as first impressions aren't good 😕.
