All staff were perfect. They made us feel special. Continental breakfast was not enough. Our room was close to street we could hear the car's sounds and there was a noise from stairs constantly. Hotel could be considered close to the city centre. Bus station in front of the hotel.

Für eine Nacht in Ordnung

Für Biker gut Parkmöglichkeit. Mit dem Bus in 20 Minuten in die City. Betten ein bisschen zu Weich.

Good place to stay, easy access to the city.

Excellent and friendly welcome, room was checked over before giving us the keys, answered our questions (regarding public transport to Edinburgh). Good night’s sleep, comfortable and quiet. Good continental breakfast in the morning was good, with good service, option of coffees which where brought to the table. Would recommend this hotel, not large but good.

The people who run the Abbey are lovely! Very nice service indeed. We had a good stay there. About 15 minutes drive from centre of Edinburgh, very convenient and easy to get to. Place a bit run down but still comfortable and clean.

Great stay in Edinburgh! The host was super friendly, the room had everything we needed, and the connection to the city was good. Would definitely stay here again.

Great short stay stopover

Comfortable, close to shops and restaurants, away from centre and hence less busy. Staff were exceptionally helpful especially Romik.

The Abbey is in a great location… about 20 mins drive from Edinburgh. The service was very good and the proprietors were lovely and offered great service. Breakfast was excellent. While the accommodation is basic it was clean and we were very comfortable there. TV also had Netflix which was great. A good place to stay if you’re on a budget and want to be close enough to Edinburgh to enjoy it without the expense and crowds!

This hotel is on a bus route straight into city and was definitely a great value for money option. It has a new owner who is working hard to make it a great destination. He was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good too - small buffet but fresh and tasty. I’d definitely stay again.

One Night Stay in Edinburgh

We were only staying one night for to attend the Oasis gig at Murrayfield so only needed a room for the night and as far as that it ticked all the boxes, I cannot fault the staff they were very friendly and helpful, the room was very clean and the bed was really comfy, however, we went the bar to have a drink before we left and the gentleman advised the fridge didn't work so I had to have a warm bottle of beer, my wife had a vodka and coke and again no ice so it was a room temp vodka & coke, finally, we went for breakie and it was okay but the one small teapot between 2 didn't work, my wife got a full cup & I got the dreggs. I had no complaints with my stay really as only for 1 night but if I had to stay a few more nights I may not be so forgiving.
