This hotel is in a great location and is walking distance from everything. We booked one night with this hotel and it was probably enough. The room was very outdated and we had a lovely view of the parking lot. Carpets looked dirty and the beds were not overly comfortable. As well, we were pretty miffed at the fact that... More

Have just returned from 3 nights at this very pleasant hotel, however, it is not without its faults. First the good points (which far outweigh the bad). The location is excellent, just outside Holyrood Palace, within walking distance of most of the main attractions of the city. The rooms are large and well furnished, with comfortable beds. We paid £328... More

We stayed at the Macdonald Holyrood Hotel as part of a 3 night Superbreak weekend in Edinburgh with friends. On our arrival the staff were friendly and helpful and remained so for the rest of the trip despite a number of issues that were not addressed. On the plus side we enjoyed a lovely meal in the hotel restaurant, but... More

Stayed at Macdonald Holyrood Hotel in Edinburgh in mid-May. Located on a quiet street next to Scottish Parliament & Holyrood House Palace. 5 minutes walk to the center of Royal Mile. Tescos Express next door convenient for in-room groceries & snacks. Nice-sized rooms with ample space to move around, effective heating & airconditioning, comfortable beds, great shower pressure & hot... More

Stayed at this hotel at the weekend, room was lovely except it was very hot as air con wasn't working well. Views from the room were nice as was the little balcony outside. Room service and breakfast were nice and freshly made just a shame that I can get the same food at every MacDonald hotel when it should be... More

If it wasn't for the staff, I'd have been totally dis-satisfied with what is being charged for a 4 star hotel. We stayed for three nights, check in was friendly and efficient. We were allocated room 603 (we had upgraded to this floor with central bookings). As soon as we walked in the heat hit us, and the air con... More

My third stay at the Macdonald Holyrood Hotel and I would not stay anywhere else when in Edinburgh. Food is excellent, service is friendly and could not be more helpful. Lovely room with immaculate white sheets and very comfortable. Had been on a small group tour for six days staying at some very interesting placed, it was just so good... More
