Top Melrose Abbey Hotel Reviews

Virgin Hotels Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing staff. Everything was top class."

ibis Edinburgh Centre South Bridge - Royal Mile

8/10 Good

"Loved it. Great location from the Royal Mile and easy walking distance to Waverley and all the main sites you want to see"

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This property was wonderful... and the staff, even better! Great location! Would certainly stay here again in the future. My only complaint would be that the room felt a bit warm. I searched the room for a thermostat or way to adjust the temperature, but found nothing. Maybe I just didn't know where to look... haha! But my husband and I were able to crack the window to let in some cooler air. Also, there was a fan provided in the room."

Market Street Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The location was pretty good. The rooms were clean and the staff were friendly."

Aparthotel Adagio Edinburgh Royal Mile

10/10 Excellent

"We had a very good stay at Adagio Aparthotel and were really happy with our experience. The apartment was clean, comfortable, and well equipped with everything we needed for our stay. The location was excellent and very convenient for exploring Edinburgh, with many attractions, restaurants, and shops within easy reach. The apartment-style setup was especially convenient for our family and made our stay more comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful, and everything was well organised. Overall, it was a pleasant, comfortable, and hassle-free stay. We would definitely consider staying at Adagio again on our next visit to Edinburgh. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"

The Abbey Residence

8/10 Good

"I arrived very late. The staff were so friendly, and upgraded me from a single to a double room, I think because the single had gone to someone else. The bed was super comfy, I've never slept in a hotel room with such a comfy mattress before. The room was a bit run down, but clean enough. The breakfast was very basic, but good enough, and again the staff were very kind and helpful offering cups of tea or coffee. Very impressed for a two star hotel at the price I paid"

The Scott

10/10 Excellent

"I loved this property, the bar, restaurant, and staff. Lovely, quiet, and comfortable. Bus stop right across the street to get into the old town."

Argyle Backpackers

8/10 Good

"Clean and basic. My room was ground floor and near kitchen which meant I got alot of food smells wafting which was personally not great. Staff super friendly and welcoming."

Braid Hills Hotel

8/10 Good

"The thing that let down the Hotel completely was that for accessing the breakfast room and upon check out, with all our bags, we had to ascend stairs to an upper floor and back down again. Absolutely ridiculous to expect to expect 70+ folk to lug cases up and down!!"
