Booked the hotel for a relaxing break with a friend due to its beauty spa and close location to station. As with previous review, it is quite a way from the station as it is down a steep hill off the Royal Mile. Though we walked there, got a taxi to station on departure. Check in was easy and a... more

After looking at a map of Edinburgh we decided that Waverly Station is not that far from the hotel and we should easily be able to walk it with our luggage. The only problem was the map didn’t specify the topography; it’s quite a steep walk up to the Royal Mile from the station. I would definitely recommend getting a... more

Perfect location for a business visit to the Scottish Parliament and a block away from the Royal Mile. Its a 10 minute walk to the Castle assuming you can resist the pubs that line the route. Quick and efficient check-in and a good-sized traditionally furbished room. My TV remote was non-functioning which wasn't as bad as someone in our party... more

The hotel was at the wrong end of Old Town for us meaning we had 15min walk to restaurants and pubs that we liked but that made us appreciate the pint more! We were really impressed by the size of the room, it was bright and spacious, including seating area as well as large comfortable bed, well soundproofed walls and... more

I stayed for two nights at the Holyrood Hotel. The hotel itself is very nice, it has an impressive lobby area, pleasant bar and modern dining area. All of which you would expect from a hotel in this class. The bedroom was of a high standard with a nice comfortable bed, armchairs and coffee table. The bathroom was clean, tidy... more

Myself and my boyfriend stayed at the MacDonald Holyrood in March 08. I picked the hotel for its location at the end of the Royal Mile. The hotel was of a good standard - lovely breakfast in the morning which could fill you up til lunch! They had a choice of everything from fruit to pastries to cooked breakfast. We... more

Had a weekend in Edinburgh and wanted a central location to the old Town. This hotel is well placed to visit The Palace of Hollyrood and The Parliament. It's also convenient in fine weather to walk The Royal Mile and get to The Castle. Staff were very helpful. The place was clean and the breakfast is excellent. The room and... more
