"Ret bra läge, 15 minutter från slottet och The royal mile så et riktigt fint utgångspunkt, bra sängar, väldigt fint til 2 par eller en familj på 4, lite sliten lägenhet, men nu det förste gången jag är i Edinburgh, så svårt att vardera om det bara är så där jag misstänker lite at det är standarten för Edinburgh, allt är ju väldigt gammalt. Vi skulle lätt kunna komma tilbaka om vi vill tilbaka till Ibiza för vuxna bara kalt, var varen konklusion, väldigt fin by, gillar du Öl och fram för allt...

Top Abbeyhill Hotel Reviews

Market Street Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location in Old Town!"

Virgin Hotels Edinburgh

8/10 Good

"The location was perfect for a weekend trip to Edinburgh, close to the Royal Mile and Edinburgh castle. The room was well appointed although very small. Our room was not ready at check-in time which I find unacceptable for a highly rated and relatively expensive hotel. Also, the room was not cleaned until about 5pm which was a bit disruptive to our day. I would stay here again for a night or two but not longer."

Holiday Inn Edinburgh Zoo by IHG

8/10 Good

"Hotel was a little worn in places but very clean and comfortable. Staff were very helpful. Room was clean and comfortable. Restaurant food was delicious. Easy to get to city centre by bus. Because it was beside the zoo, there were lots of exuberant children so there were times it was noisy in the halls. Not so great for a senior looking for some quiet time."

Mount Royal Hotel Edinburgh by The Unlimited Collection

8/10 Good

"Very centrally located. Right in the middle of it all. Longest walk was to Holyrood, 18 mins. Edinburgh castle was 12 mins. Right across from the Scott Monument. Waverly Starion is a 2 mins walk and you can get anywhere from there. Hotel was quiet, restaurant was good. Friendly staff. If you love tea, they have a tea menu at the restaurant. Recommend trying just for the experience."
