We stayed here for a reasonable rate in a very spacious room for 4 nights. Staff were helpful and friendly, although room service was knocking on the door far too early! Better than usual selection of tea/coffee/hot chocolate in the room and breakfast was pretty average. Beds were very comfortable and the room was well appointed. Located in a pretty... More

We stayed at his hotel end of June just before the Bon Jovi concert when more og less all hotels were full. I would probably rather call the place a nice Bed & Breakfast in a townhouse building. The couple running this place is really nice and very helpful. We had 2 rooms that were very different in size but... More

The people running the place are absolutely lovely, which is why I hate writing this, but I must tell the truth. The location was very central to all the sights. The room was very small - not a problem for me, but I really think they should let people know this when booking, as my parents would never have been... More

The management and staff were extremely helpful and friendly, and provided a very good standard of service. The room was very clean, quiet and comfortable. An excellent full Scottish breakfast was provided. The hotel is within walking distance of Princes Street, also Waverley train and bus stations. All in all, I would strongly recommend the Abbey Hotel. More

B&B located on a beautiful road and had a grand entrance, lovely decorated hall way and staircase. Upon entering the room, unfortunately a little disappointing. Aged decor and bed linen in need of updating and modernising to be in keeping with the rest of the B&B, bathroom was clean and modern except for a rusty radiator. Breakfast was tasty and... More

I managed to get a last minute booking on a busy weekend, and the staff were great. Room was at the top of the building, so it's a good walk up - fine with me, I like the exercise! - but something to consider. Small, but perfect for one - and would do for 2 if you're close. Clean and... More
