5/5 found this review helpful

Stayed for four nights with my young son during half term. The location is very good and within easy walking distance of all the central Edinburgh tourist spots. Off street parking is fully secured but can be a bit tricky to manoeuvre around when it's full.

The apartment was well laid out, very spacious and contained everything we needed. There is a large convenience store half a block away which has most of the things you'd need for basic self catering.

The lounge room has a decent TV with full Freeview reception and a DVD player - a must when you have children. They could do with putting in a more comfortable sofa though. WiFi internet access is fast and reliable although they use Swisscom which is the most expensive hotel ISP.

I've yet to stay in a bad hotel in Edinburgh and this one has just hit the top of my list as best value for money of any hotel I've stayed in anywhere!

Stayed here for a few days, found the rooms to be more than ample, plenty of room, staff were friendly and helpful. Great spot for easy access to the bottom end of the Royal Mile, just walk a hundred yards and you are on the street.

Plenty of places to eat just up the road, you can walk everywhere from here. Only downside was excessive noise one night from unruly young men in the courtyard below, there is student accommodation next door, otherwise a very peaceful location.

Highly recommended!

We stayed here as an emergency last minute accommodation as the Bridges self catering apartment that we originally booked wouldn't let us in or answer their phones.
This place was right on Princes street, it was bright, clean, quiet, ultra-modern, newly renovated and had a gym for me and the girls to have an am workout.
We had a group of 12 people to book for and this place could accommodate us all for a fantastic price last minute in really great accommodations.
We were so relieved and elated to be staying somewhere this pleasant, they turned around a really bad situation into a great time in Edinburgh. Thanks Holyrood Aparhotel!!!

  • Liked — Stainless steel gorgeous kitchen & accommodations for a very reasonable price.
  • Disliked — Nothing, there was internet, great location, parking, friendly staff, PERFECT!

We booked this apartment hotel for a one night stay in Edinburgh with our two small children.

It gave us everything we needed - secure parking, friendly welcome, clean and spacious accommodation, central location all mod cons and a DVD library!!

Our minor minor very small gripes were that the settee didn't have any cushions, and that the TV reception wasn't great. But we didn't go to Edinburgh to sit on the sofa and watch TV!. We also drank out of cups, as we didn't find any glasses, unless the next day!!

We will certainly book again

We found this hotel through TripAdvisor and were not disappointed. As a package, Holyrood Aparthotel cannot be faulted.

In particular, we found the staff to be extremely friendly and helpful. The concept of an apartment with facilities was particularly handy.

Our main concern was the plumbing. It was difficult to operate and NOISY. We think it was a pump refilling the heater but it was so loud that on our last night, when we had to get up really early (3.30 AM) to get to the airport, we went without a shower for fear of waking everyone in the building.

We also note another review which commented on the noisy floors. We noticed that but weren't annoyed by them. It might irritate someone who was a light sleeper though.

Overall, we enjoyed our week's stay at Holyrood Aparthotel. It made a great base form which to explore Edinburgh and beyond.
