“Location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 February 2012

A modern apartment/hotel right on the Royal /mile. The parking below was close to a nightmare in finding a space and getting in and out. The rooms are clean with minifridge/ washer/dryer that can only handle very small loads

Stayed April 2011, travelled on business

A great review and its is good to hear more positive feedback for the Holyrood Aparthotel but I would urge all guests to phone ahead and book a parking space with us, as the car park can get very busy at times, as this reviewer has mentioned.

“Great location, great apartment”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 February 2012

This was excellent value and a fantastic place to stay.

When we arrived the fridge was stocked and there were also breakfast supplies and plenty of tea and coffee.

The locationis ideal, just 5 mins walk from the city centre and round the corner from Holyrood Palace.

The apartment was very well equipped (dishwasher, washing machine, microwave) and was cleaned daily.

Staff were friendly and helpful.

Room Tip: The 2 bed apartment had 2 bathrooms (great with teenage daughters).

“Great Alternative to a Hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012

This was the first time I have stayed in an aparthotel and would definitely do it again. The apartments are in a great location and so convenient for exploring Edinburgh.

The price of of stay per night is so reasonable especially if you are a large group. The accommodation is of a high standard, well furnished and good decor. It was nice having the freedom of staying in an apartment with the benefits of a hotel such as regular housekeeping. The handbook in the apartment is a nice touch as it has a lot of helpful information regarding your stay and the local amenities.

The staff on the reception were friendly and even offered to arrange a cab for us back to the train station on our departure.

“Will definitely stay again!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 February 2012

This hotel is situated next to the Royal Mile road, hitch leads all te way to the castle, a 20 minute walk in an ideal location. It was a little hard to find at first as it is hidden down a side road, but once we found it we were blown away.
We stayed in the studio apartment, complete with kitchen facilities, they had everything available for making your own meal, and dishwasher and a washing machine all in the room!
The bathroom and shower facilities were extremely clean, if I had one fault it would be the lack of hot water sometimes, we only seemed to get so much hot water in the bath or shower before it turned cold, but only occasionally!
Other than that it was a great stay, at a great price, the staff at reception were friendly and able to point out places to go in Edinburgh with their own maps, overall it was the best hotel I have ever stayed in!

“Perfect accommodation for a brilliant weekend!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2012

Just booked our second trip to the Holyrood after such a great experience last year. We booked as a group of 6 girls last March and were just amazed by how wonderful our two apartments were for the price we paid. They were immaculate and so spacious with brilliant facilities and had we wanted to increase in numbers we would still have had plenty of room. We were delighted to have TWO amazing shower rooms in each apartment and more than enough space all round for the 6 of us to meet up in one apartment for an evening glass of wine or for our breakfast planning meeting. The breakfast pack was superb and had all we needed and more...some Irn Bru would be good though ;-). It took us no more than 5 minutes to walk to the nearest shops and bars and all of our taxi journeys were reasonably priced. We just had THE best weekend in Edinburgh. Having spoken to Hannah again today I can honestly say that their customer service is also fantastic....she is always so lovely and nothing is ever too much trouble. We are all getting excited for our return trip at the end of March!! Hope nothing ever spoils this fantastic accommodation!!

Great to hear such amazing comments from this guest and I would like to say a big thank you for taking the time to share wonderful feedback. I look forward to welcoming them again in March, and although Irn Bru is not the cornerstone to a traditional healthy breakfast, if they let me know when they are coming I will ensure there is plenty in the apartment for their arrival.
