"This was a beautiful apartment to stay in, with the perfect mix of historic charm and fresh, modern finishes.

However, reception responded quickly and made things right, which we really appreciated. Overall, we had a lovely stay and I would definitely stay here again."

Top Holyrood Abbey Hotel Reviews

Hilton Edinburgh Carlton

8/10 Good

"Excellent location next to the Royal Mile . One elevator down during our stay, so lines were long. Scaffolding surrounding the building, so views out of hotel rooms were poor. We had the basic room, which is very small. Too small to open your luggage up and be able to get around the bed comfortably. Uncomfortable beds. Otherwise, a great location and wonderful & helpful staff."
