Hotels near Holyrood Abbey

When entering the Scotsman you step back in time. Located in the former Scotsman newspaper building this hotel shares its sense of another time with its guests. The marble staircase and the Grand Cafe faced with beautiful marble throughout shows the grandeur of another era. I would recommend this hotel for its location close to the Royal Mile alone, the building is another selling point as well. This is an older building and it shows some signs of age but it is a masterpiece from a time before. Close to Edinburgh Castle, Holyrood Palace and Park the location could not be better. Situated in the Old Town perfect for exploring this gem of a city. Stay at the Scotsman and enjoy the trip back in time.

My stay at Ten Hill Place was very satisfying and enjoyable. This hotel is in a very convenient location (imho). Near to quite a few different eating establishments as well as located near some ‘tourist ‘ spots like the castle, Holyrood and the Royal Mile. The hotel staff was overall very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The one negative for me was that the living room rug had water damage because the shower ‘glass’ did not close all the way, hence water was going on the the bathroom floor > rug.

I thoroughly enjoyed the 3 bed-room apartment that I recently stayed in Old Town Chambers. The beds are very comfortable. The apartment is beautifully furnished and it's well kept. They provide a Nespresso Coffee Machine as well as coffee capsules. They also provide a nice selection of tea too. The location of the hotel is just awesome! It's right on Royale Mile and there are many restaurants and cafes within its vicinity. The hotel is in the center of all the iconic places. To its left is the Holyrood Palacehouse and Arthur Seat and the Edinburgh Castle to its right. If you walk down the streets at the back of the hotel, you will reach the Princess street where all the shopping is. It's a good hotel to stay in! I highly recommend it.

We booked a three nights stay over New year to celebrate my husband's birthday. We had a King size deluxe room with a great view of the castle. All the staff were very helpful and friendly and assisted us with any information we needed on the area to enhance our stay. The breakfast had a choice of continental or a hot breakfast items and was continuously being monitored so that items were replenished. The hotel was within easy walking access to all the main city centre attractions and shops, as well as restaurants and bars.

I arrived at 7.30am after a 30 hour flight and on arrival said I knew I was exceptionally early and if I could leave my bags. The staff insisted on arranging my room to be cleaned so I could shower and relax. I also had a booking the second night as a twin share under another friends name so they arranged the rooms to be the same. truely the best service I've yet to receive, especially as they proactively try to see where they can make you stay more convenient and enjoyable. The room size is very generous, with all the comforts such as pillow selection, comfortable bed, nice bathroom with plenty of hot water. The location can not be beat - on the royal mile, near the princess at bridge for those who love to shop. I've stayed in many 5 star hotels and this trumps most - and is only rated 4 star which I struggle to understand. All round exceptional, can't fault it and will be staying here again!!

The moment we walked in the front door, we knew we were going to love this hotel. We had the great pleasure of being greeted by Peter Binnie, who was the afternoon manager for our entire stay. He was friendly, engaging and made some great suggestions for places to visit. Even more impressive, as my husband and I were wandering down one of the streets that Peter had recommended to us, who should we bump into, but Peter and, rather than rush past and pretend he hadn't noticed us, he stopped for a chat and pointed out a couple of more things that we might enjoy. Our room was spotless, the beds comfy and the breakfast generous, with probably the best view in Edinburgh, and we found all of the staff to be friendly and helpful, but Peter was an absolute standout. We would definitely book here, again, if we return.

this was our first trip to edinburgh and everyone we talked to told us to stay near the royal mile for the sights. the location of this hotel was exactly what we wanted. near to the royal mile but also near the restaurant area. we stayed 3 nights at the hotel. when we first arrived, the girl who checked us in was great. she made us feel very welcome and pointed out the different possible sites for tourists. the hotel is in good condition with new carpets and quite clean. the room was spacious and had everything i would want. the bed was quite comfortable and large. the bathroom had both a shower and bath (which i like). water ran hot and strong. the internet was quite good as well. overall we had a great experience at this hotel. it was one of the cheaper options that we found, but this is not a budget hotel, this is great value for money and i will stay there again when i return.

I was there three nights. Got there early for check in but they had a room ready so let me check in there and then. Room was a great size - really large for a hotel room. Location is right round the corner from Grassmarket so brilliant for unique little places and bars and restaurants and a nice walk up to the Royal Mile. I ate twice in the hotel and was impressed with the quality of the food. My only complaints would be that the heating wasn't great - didn't seem to make much of a difference when I had it on. Also, the shower was too hot and I couldn't seem to change the temperature - close to scalding temperature. I did let them know at front desk and they said they would have a look but I didn't notice any difference. Great size bathroom with a bath and a separate shower and the toilet itself completely separate. Staff were friendly and helpful. The pool was small but cute! I would happily stay there again.

I had planned more time in Scotland, but ended up changing to 2 nights and 1 day. Dean at the desk helped me gather so much information, so I could get on the tours that I did not want to miss. I managed to get everywhere and really enjoyed my visit. He even located discounts. Both he and Agnes were very personable and helpful. I also had the best nights sleep because the bed was so comfortable. Ideally located and easy to get to all attractions. I will recommend the Ibis and will be back in the future.

The hotel is rather centrally located, within close proximity to the castle and the royal mile (though need to go up and down slope). We like the modern and nice design in the room. The room was clean and large with plenty of walking space. Though the flooring uses budget wood board, rather than typical carpeted flooring, it looks pretty new and comfortable. What we liked best is the huge and well-designed bathroom with the right water pressure and temperature.

The Inn Place was a lovely place to stay for my first trip to Edinburgh. The room was fabulous and clean. The location was 2 minutes from the Royal Mile and 5 mins from Princes Street. It was a beautiful walk to either and had lots to do around. It also beside the best Harry Potter shop I have seen in a while which was a huge bonus. I only had one let down when there and that was that we asked for an early check-in as we were headed to the rugby and it gives the option on this site to request an arrival time, which unfortunately wasn't actually accommodated for. Other than that it was a beautiful stay.

Rooms are utilitarian. Modern hotel with very small bathroom. Great location with an easy walk through the park to The Royal Mile and Edunburgh Castle. Taxi to Waverley Station or main bus station only about £6. Best thing is the fantastic breakfast buffet and the fact that they provide sealable plastic containers to take food items away if you wish. They also provide take away coffee cups. Never seen this before . Very generous

I've stayed at this lovely hotel in the past, and I really didn't need a reason to book again, but if you are attending many of the comedy events during Fringe season then this Hotel is Location, Location, Location with a 2 minute walk from George Square where so many events take place, and only a 4 minute walk in the other direction from the Royal Mile. The shower is one of the best I have experienced.

The hotel is basically lodged between the Edinburgh Castle and Palace of Holyrood House. The castle is a stone's throw away while the journey to Holyrood Palace was a pleasant walk through the many shops along High Street and Cannongate. Just down the road from the hotel is the famous Mary King's Close. We also discovered a great restaurant a couple of doors away called Angels with Bagpipes.
