1. Abbey Strand Apartments, at Holyrood

1.5 km from Royal Commonwealth Pool

"This was a beautiful apartment to stay in, with the perfect mix of historic charm and fresh, modern finishes. We did have a mix-up with our booking, as the room was reserved for three people but didn’t have a sleeping option for the third guest. However, reception responded quickly and made things right, which we really appreciated. Overall, we had a lovely stay and I would definitely stay here again."

Top Royal Commonwealth Pool Hotel Reviews

The Scholar

10/10 Excellent

"This is a lovely place to stay. The staff are excellent, the location is near public transportation (bus stop) and its a nice half hour walk to the Royal Mile. It is conveniently near Holyrood Park and the trails to Arthur's Seat. The restaurant Abacus was excellent. The staff quickly fixed an issue in the bathroom sink which is the only reason I gave them a 4 on cleanliness."

Edinburgh Travel Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"Clean Room very helpful staff parking good at the rear of the building, bus stop outside the hotel to connect to the city, cathedral & castle"

Radisson Blu Hotel, Edinburgh City Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Comfortable beds, helpful staff."

YOTEL Edinburgh, Select by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

ibis Edinburgh Centre South Bridge - Royal Mile

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was helpful with storing our luggage and getting a cab when needed. Centrally located."

CODE - The Court, Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"10/10. I stayed from Oct 7-13 in a superior suite because I didn’t want to share my space. It was absolutely amazing. The hostel as a whole was clean, cute, and safe. As a female solo traveler, safety was my main priority and I felt secure throughout my whole stay. The room was cute with an amazing view of St Giles Cathedral. I didn’t venture to the common shared spaces because my itinerary was full but the areas I did visit like the cafe and bar, I enjoyed. The location was perfect. On the Royal Mile. Close to many shops and restaurants. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend his hostel."

Aparthotel Adagio Edinburgh Royal Mile

8/10 Good

"Good stay - excellent spot right on the Royal Mile. Studio was a good size and so handy to have fridge, cooking facilities, iron and ironing board etc. Didn't realise whsn booking that the bed was actually a sofa bed and it was pretty comfortable so would probably look at a bigger apartment next time with a proper bed. The water pressure in the shower was also awful. Overall a decent stay, good facilities, great spot and discounted NCP parking."

The Scott

10/10 Excellent

"What a beautiful place to stay. Such a beautiful building on the Un. of Edinburgh campus with two wonderful restaurants available. Not far from The Royal Mile, yet far enough away for peace and quiet."

Market Street Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was close proximity to your needs and wants. If you are there for a day and just needed some rest every thing was right there."
