Holyrood Aparthotel - Edinburgh, United Kingdom 

expensive but excellent
Posted: Thu, Jul 24 2008
As everyone says, the place is excellent and like living at home. Of course that won't be cheap, but I still felt it was worth it for the convenience. Its a small place and tucked out of the way, so no views or anything, and a long walk to the new town and mcdonalds and whatnot. Location is along the royal mile though and very historic, so it depends what you are interested in. We will definitely stay there again if we go back. The breakfast basket was value for money, but they eat healthy there (wheat bread, healthy biscuts...).

Great Location

Stayed here for a week in March. First impressions on pulling up outside was oh my god what have we booked!! The outside seriously lets its down!! Inside though the apartments were very clean and spacious. Had to move apartments during the first day = first apartment had the most squeaky floor boards ever - TV system didnt work, went out and was told it would be fixed. Came back in and said no we cant fix it. So they moved us up a floor - much better apartment no squeaky floors, though did find them quite slippy in the living area!! The only bad thing about them was quite noisy on a morning from the restaurant/bar opposite emptying there bottle bills early in the morning. Also there Reception staff need to learn more about there place of work! Asked them a couple of questions about the apartments and she didnt know!! Not a good look. Apart from that easy walking distance to Princes Street and Edinburgh Castle. Very private, excellent facilities for cooking and relaxing. Dvd player and music system extra plus. Would definitely stay here again.

Met our expectations

Stayed for one night. Happened to coincide with the Queen hosting a Garden party a few hundred yards down the street, so the traffic was a nightmare. The hotel is right behind the Royal Mile and a short walk from the rest of Edinburgh's attractions. The rooms are clean and bright. Lots of space and you're given everything you need to have a basic breakfast. Not much of a view from out 1st floor (2nd floor in North America) room. From the outside it doesn't look like much, but don't be fooled. Parking costs 7.50 pounds/day. I was very happy with the choice and will stay there again.
