Top Holyrood Abbey Hotel Reviews

Market Street Hotel

"Wonderful stay, nice rooms, great dinner!"

Mount Royal Hotel Edinburgh by The Unlimited Collection

Leonardo Royal Hotel Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel with spa area. Great location and very helpful staff"

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

8/10 Good

"If you need parking…it’s very limited. The location of this hotel is great to explore Old Town by foot. Sits right by many pubs/restaurants which can be touristy, but again…great location!"

BrewDog DogHouse Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"On our trip through London, Edinburgh, Amsterdam and Paris, Brew House Dog House was the stand out stay. Putting my love of Edinburgh aside, the hotel itself feel exclusive, the private guest lounge was neat, even though we didn't use it, and the restaurant makes a great breakfast, a mean cappuccino, and great dinner, which we ordered to our room a couple times because we didn't feel we were missing out by eating in. The loft apartment is unique, roomy, and highly functional for what will be a longer stay next time. The staff were all courteous and the one beer I did have was a delight"

Apex City of Edinburgh Hotel

8/10 Good

"Staff here are very kind and helpful. The room although small was everything we needed and the bed was comfortable. Our room was at the back of the hotel so it was also nice and quiet. It was very close to great restaurants and bars and within easy walking distance to all Edinburgh hot spots. Perfect location if you’re staying in Edinburgh."

Aparthotel Adagio Edinburgh Royal Mile

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent, would highly recommend for the Fringe festival"
