Top Holyrood Abbey Hotel Reviews

Motel One Edinburgh-Royal

10/10 Excellent

"Good hotel"

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

8/10 Good

"Amazing location and super Friday and helpful staff. Soundproofing is not great."

YOTEL Edinburgh, Select by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice and clean place. In a decent location to walk to things and staff will order you a taxi. Breakfast was okay, appreciated their bar and kiosk area. I had four people in a double and bunk bed room and it was a good size"

Leonardo Royal Hotel Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at the Leonardo was perfect, the staff was so helpful, it's in a great location to get anywhere in the city, and the place felt quite quiet for being so centrally located. So glad we added the breakfast every day, the selection was great and it saved us having to find new places to eat every morning during our week long stay."

voco Edinburgh - Royal Terrace by IHG

8/10 Good

"This is an old property that has lots of charm that I enjoyed. If you want modern looking, you may not like it. The staff did a great job to take care of any needs. They offer a really good buffet breakfast and dinner each day. You may find a local restaurant or diner at a cheaper price for each meal if you need to watch your costs. It is within 15-30 minutes walk from a ton of places. We never never took a cab the week we visited. The hotel is clean, the staff was great, and it was convenient to many places. I would stay there again."
