Top Melrose Abbey Hotel Reviews

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Loved this hotel so much!! Everyone was so incredibly kind and the room and bathroom were so nice! Location was absolutely perfect. Very central and you can literally see the castle from out front!"

Market Street Hotel

8/10 Good

"Everything about the hotel is excellent. Room, location, cleanliness. We just had a really rough check in. We had asked for an early check in months prior, and were told they would do everything to accommodate us. We arrived at 8:00am and weren’t given our room until 2:30. Checkout isn’t until 11, so expected 12 the latest. We were not given a time window and basically ignored in the beautiful lobby."

The Scott

10/10 Excellent

"The building is gorgeous, the room spacious and so comfortable, but the staff is the standout here. Cheerful, helpful, and so accommodating. They made the trip for us. The breakfast is amazing - enough to carry you through lunch and beyond. The hotel is a wee bit off the beaten track if you’re wishing to be on the Royal Mile every day, but the local bus service is excellent and you are in the midst of everything within 15-20 minutes. Thank you for everything. It was a treat."

Aparthotel Adagio Edinburgh Royal Mile

10/10 Excellent

"A great place to stay. Excellent location."

Mount Royal Hotel Edinburgh by The Unlimited Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful service, great location, professional staff, friendly atmosphere, clean room. We will come back."

CODE - The Court, Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Godspower and Mohammed were very helpful with helping get access to my room when my phone died and we had good conversations about valuable life experiences. 100% recommend"

Radisson Blu Hotel, Edinburgh City Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful exterior fit nicely within the surrounding area. Centrally located by Royal Mile, High St. staff was immensely kind and helpful. Thank you to Sara for going above and beyond. The room was spacious and clean as was the bathroom."

Braid Hills Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Nice place to stay"

The Scholar

8/10 Good

"\the staff were universally helpful, especially at breakfast. the cleanliness was excellent. Breakfast was good. I did not find the restaurant for other meals suited my taste but that is an individual matter. There were not enough vegetables for my liking. My first room was hard for me to navigate but I was moved to a very satisfactory one. The car park and the lift were selling points for me initially but I have become comfortable there, so will be back, barring accidents."
