This was a really great place to stay. We appreciated the full kitchen and tea! The staff were very friendly, and it turned out to be an outstanding location.
The location of the Holyrood Aparthotel was absolutely amazing. The hotel was very clean, and all the cooking amenities were excellent. Having a washing machine with detergent provided meant I was able to come home with a case full of clean clothes. Would highly recommended as a place to stay in Edinburgh and would happily return again.
Spacious, modern, clean room with a kitchen and washer/dryer. Loved the food placed in our room upon arrival…made for a good breakfast…best room so far in Scotland! Fantastic location… close to Holyrood Palace and the Royal Mile. Highly recommend!

Could not have asked for any better accommodation for the price. I need a self catering apartment to help me prepare for the Edinburgh Marathon and this room had everything. Very happy with the check-in. Definitely use this hotel again.

Great Location and the room had an excellent kitchen which was full equipped. Would stay here again!
Good location. Reasonable walking distance to key points of Edinburgh including Waverly Station. The room is well-stocked with essentials such as utensils, pots/pans, and laundry needs. Eric at the front desk was friendly and helpful!
If you’re looking for luxury, this is not your place. If you’re looking for spacious, clean accommodation, within easy walking distance of the Royal Mile at an extremely reasonable rate - you’ve found it. Also - get the breakfast hamper!
Adequate and comfortable room, right off the Royal Mile. It’s worth noting that, however, that although breakfast is advertised as an optional add-on, there’s no restaurant on-site. Instead, a small variety of items are left in the room for you to choose from during your stay.

Very clean. Friendly and helpful staff. Everything you could need in the kichen area. Good location and 5mins walk from the nearest big bus stop
The apartment was spotlessly clean, well appointed and in a central location. The staff were friendly and helpful. Couldn’t fault it and would recommend it.

Pros: Room was nice, kitchen with refrigerator, washer/dryer, microwave, kettle and tea/cofee!
Cons: twin beds pushed together with separate bedding! Does Not t have parking- you need to park 1/4 mile away- we return med to the hotel and grabbed our luggage- came back to a parking ticket 100 pounds! We specifically searched for hotels with parking!!
Reception staff were very helpful and quick to respond to issues. Big room, laundry facilities and everything you could need to self cater. In an excellent location just a short walk up to the Castle.
On the property website they advertise secure luggage storage but it is not secure and they ask you to sign an indemnity to boot. If you arrive before three check in time there are only three seats in the ‘lobby’ and limited luggage room .
Great location close to Holyrood Palace.
