Top Abbeyhill Hotel Reviews

Apex City of Edinburgh Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent experience - highly recommend!!!!"

Virgin Hotels Edinburgh

8/10 Good

"The bathroom is very good, great design, everything has been thought of, but the sleeping area wasn’t great, it was so small, most of it is taken up by the huge bed frame and clunky faux marble table. We had a really long walk to our room with no lifts There was a wedding on Saturday and our room was literally next to the party! Roof top terrace is literally a terrace, you have to buy your very expensive drink from the bar and carry it yourself up to the roof terrace. Breakfast needs more variety Staff were very attentive and helpful and the location is fantastic. However it’s not worth the amount we spent per night"

Village Hotel Edinburgh

8/10 Good

"Read the reviews before we booked 2 rooms for 2 nights at over £1000, was skeptical about the buffet breakfast, room not being cleaned and the pool being closed, had stayed at another village hotel recently and had a great experience. The breakfast was ok, but could have been more choice and a bit better, the rooms were refreshed on our request, surprisingly the pool was closed for our entire stay, which was one the main reasons we booked this hotel, for the kids. The gym was nice. We paid a premium to stay in August, but not worth more than £150 per night in my opinion. Inc breakfast Hermine on reception was very nice."
