The staff, most especially Romik were warm and welcoming. I even got a room upgrade which I highly appreciated not to mention the comfty bed! Location is also convenient as you have direct buses that can take you to the city center. I highly recommend staying at this accommodation. ##### Donal Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Samuel 14 Jan 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Really pleased with my stay. Upgraded me from single room to double. Staff couldnt have been more helpful. There was a problem with the water supply in room so they moved me to a better room. Comfortable bed, great size room, lovely and quiet, good sleep, breakfast was good. Free parking. Bus stop to get all over Edinburgh and back, right across the road. For what I paid it was excellent. Thank you! ##### Samuel Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2026 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tami Marie 8 Oct 2025 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Amenities Staff very helpful.

The host was super friendly, the room had everything we needed, and the connection to the city was good. Would definitely stay here again. ##### Hannah Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### John 17 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Our host was most welcoming and the property and rooms clean and tidy. ##### John Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Paul 26 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Second time staying here, as I have family in Gilmerton. Great, convenient spot. Kind and friendly service. I've never attended breakfast so I cannot accommodate on that. The only downside is thin walls, so you can hear everything. On the flip side, both times I have stayed, it's never been fully booked. Would happily return! ##### Paul Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Javed 30 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great short stay stopover Comfortable, close to shops and restaurants, away from centre and hence less busy. Staff were exceptionally helpful especially Romik. ##### Javed Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Georgette 24 Mar 2025 Liked: Amenities was phenominal; safe, cozy, and courteous staff who just want to make sure you are the most comfortable.

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. ##### Louise Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### David 17 Sept 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Not so clean but friendy ##### David Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Linda 27 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Comfortable bed. Nice staff. ##### Linda Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Louise 25 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort 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! ##### Louise Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pamela 29 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Pamela Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ali-Reza 23 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Amazing staff, super friendly.

Staff lovely nothing too much trouble for them. Extremely helpful and professional ##### Debra Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alina 23 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### The Abbey Residence experience I very much enjoyed my stay at the Abbey Residence. The highlight of it all is of course the people. Hosts insisted on doing anything in their power to make your stay exceptional. All the advice on how to plan the stay and sightseeing in Edinburgh or in other areas made the experience much more easier and relaxed and very comfortable. It's not like it's ideal place on Earth, it's close to one of the main streets in the area so if you're sensitive to noise just remember your earplugs. I very much hope to be back sooner than later. Thanks for the lovely time! ##### Alina Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Janet 20 Jun 2025 Staff were friendly and breakfast was served nicely. Rooms were appointed well. Close to airport. Sheets were not fresh/clean. Window did not close. Hard to stand up in bathroom. Toilet function was a challenge. Front door was locked and buzzer needed to alert staff to open. No lobby, just breakfast eating area. Advertised as three star not two star as it clearly was. Remote location of ‘motel’ to shops. ##### Janet Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Rosemary 4 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Friendly staff and good location with free parking If you are looking for somewhere to stay on a budget just out of central Edinburgh this property is in a good location with buses every 15-20 mins to edinburgh. It typically took us 45 mins door to door to anywhere we were going in the centre and parking was free which was really helpful. I wanted to make a special shout out to the host that we dealt with throughout our stay, I’m so sorry but I don’t believe we exchanged names, but I know that he is originally from India. He was very respectful and friendly and told us interesting stories about his journey. He also let me use the bathroom at 8pm before driving back home - a small thing but greatly appreciated thank you! ##### Rosemary Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Beaverbank Place - Campus Accommodation](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Beaverbank-Place-Campus-Residence.h6915060.Hotel-Information) > > [Staycity Aparthotels, Edinburgh, West End](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Staycity-Aparthotels-West-End.h4435260.Hotel-Information) > > [Garner Edinburgh Haymarket by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Garner-Edinburgh-Haymarket-By-IHG.h5589159.Hotel-Information) > > [St Christopher's Edinburgh Old Town - Hostel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-St-Christophers-Edinburgh-Old-Town.h45754941.Hotel-Information) > > [BrewDog DogHouse Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-DogHouse-Edinburgh.h72942233.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Edinburgh City West by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Edinburgh-City-West.h13364.Hotel-Information) > > [The Balmoral Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-The-Balmoral-Hotel.h9339.Hotel-Information) > > [Princes Street Party Palace Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Princes-Street-Party-Palace-Edinburgh.h17520400.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo Royal Hotel Edinburgh ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Jurys-Inn-Edinburgh.h115987.Hotel-Information) > > [a&o Edinburgh City - Hostel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Ao-Edinburgh-City.h1594761.Hotel-Information) > > [Malmaison Edinburgh City](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Malmaison-Edinburgh-St-Andrews-Square.h38786208.Hotel-Information) > > [The Caledonian Edinburgh, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-The-Caledonian-Edinburgh.h4198.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo Edinburgh Murrayfield](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Leonardo-Edinburgh-Murrayfield.h579949.Hotel-Information) > > [Fingal - A Luxury Floating Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Fingal.h38753319.Hotel-Information) > > [Quartermile serviced apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Quartermile-Serviced-Apartments.h74811613.Hotel-Information) > > [The Roseate Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-The-Roseate-Edinburgh.h1381332.Hotel-Information) > > [Adelphi Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Adelphi-Hotel.h7734202.Hotel-Information) > > [Point A Hotel Edinburgh Haymarket](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Point-A-Hotel-Edinburgh-Haymarket.h37166264.Hotel-Information) > > [Wilde Aparthotels, Edinburgh, Grassmarket](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Wilde-Apartments-By-Staycity-Grassmarket.h39822833.Hotel-Information) > > [CODE - The Court, Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-CoDE-Pod-Hostels-THE-CoURT.h36150915.Hotel-Information) > > [Goblin Ha'](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Goblin-Ha.h9843141.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo Hotel Edinburgh Haymarket](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Leonardo-Royal-Edinburgh-Haymarket.h4035314.Hotel-Information) > > [Virgin Hotels Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Virgin-Hotels-Edinburgh.h74635444.Hotel-Information) > > [Britannia Hotel Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Britannia-Hotel-Edinburgh.h4533.Hotel-Information) > > [Heeton Concept Aparthotel Edinburgh Queen Street](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Native-Edinburgh.h24151306.Hotel-Information) > > [House of Gods Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-House-Of-Gods-Royal-Mile.h38206083.Hotel-Information) > > [Mount Royal Hotel Edinburgh by The Unlimited Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Mount-Royal-Hotel-Edinburgh-By-The-Unlimited-Collection.h802180.Hotel-Information) > > [voco Edinburgh - Royal Terrace by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Voco-Edinburgh-Royal-Terrace.h4895.Hotel-Information) > > [100 Princes Street](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-100-Princes-Street.h74521691.Hotel-Information) ---
