Room not too bad, staff was good but unsure and a member of staff couldn't understand what I was asking could barely speak English tried her best and was pleasant and helpful. it was ok

The room was lovely. Staff when seen were polite and friendly. Unfortunately there were many cons to staying here. A room was booked for 6 nights over 2 separate bookings. The whole stay I was given two towels - one of which I had to request. There was no daily house keeping in the rooms. Only one day out of the stay there was breakfast ready and supplied without prompt, one of the other days I heard someone else request breakfast so quickly made my way for some, so two days I got breakfast. It shouldn't have to be requested, it should have been there ready. Midway through the stay I managed to get a room upgrade (requested by my sister who made the booking) upon the room switch I was asked if I wanted the bed sheets changed - this should have been done without question - it was my father in the room before, however this is irrelevant. On day 4 I let the staff know I would clear my room as there was a chance I dont need the room the last 2 nights, I left the key with reception incase I wasnt coming back. I then found I no longer needed the last 2 nights of the stay. Tried multiple times to contact the hotel, left messages and emails, to this day I have had no response. Unfortunately we wont book this hotel again due to obvious reasons stated. Hopefully the hotel reads this and takes on board the comments.

Second time staying here, as I have family in Gilmerton. Great, convenient spot. Kind and friendly service. I've never attended breakfast so I cannot accommodate on that. The only downside is thin walls, so you can hear everything. On the flip side, both times I have stayed, it's never been fully booked. Would happily return!

Dirty, slow service if any, we were served breakfast 45 minutes late and were given milk that was off. We stood up and left straight away. Don't choose this place... Paid 100 quid for a single room on top of the crappy conditions.

We didn't end up staying in the hotel due to it being unsafe and unhygienic.

I was put in room 6 which was through a strange ante-room which was unlit. There was very little privacy in the room with a large window straight out onto a main road - I had to have the curtains closed - a blind would have solved this issue. The room was barren. One small towel, no bath mat, no hand towel. Lack of accessible plug sockets. Nowhere to plug in the hairdryer that you could then see a mirror. The room was VERY noisy. The road noise isn’t the fault of the property but the old windows didn’t help. The internal noise went on until 11pm. The stairs to the staff areas were close by and were very creaky. There were constantly people up and down them. it sounded like furniture was being built in the room directly above! The doorbell went at 10.47pm which was a staff member returning and there was then loud chat as they went through the ante room and up the stairs. I left at 7.40am and was told that breakfast wouldn’t be ready for another 20 mins. Overall building security and room door security didn’t feel good. Single old Yale lock and no deadbolt or chain to secure from inside. Parking was good and links to the city and bypass are good.

All staff were perfect. They made us feel special. Continental breakfast was not enough. Our room was close to street we could hear the car's sounds and there was a noise from stairs constantly. Hotel could be considered close to the city centre. Bus station in front of the hotel.

Property bedroom was fine very comfy bed and spacious but bathroom had no plug in sink so was difficult to wash with boiling water out of hot tap and cold water out of other tap, booked for two nights b&b first morning had breakfast food was fine but basic continental style second morning when we were leaving there was no breakfast set out absolutely nothing so decided to just leave without anything to eat not the best.

We were only staying one night for to attend the Oasis gig at Murrayfield so only needed a room for the night and as far as that it ticked all the boxes, I cannot fault the staff they were very friendly and helpful, the room was very clean and the bed was really comfy, however, we went the bar to have a drink before we left and the gentleman advised the fridge didn't work so I had to have a warm bottle of beer, my wife had a vodka and coke and again no ice so it was a room temp vodka & coke, finally, we went for breakie and it was okay but the one small teapot between 2 didn't work, my wife got a full cup & I got the dreggs. I had no complaints with my stay really as only for 1 night but if I had to stay a few more nights I may not be so forgiving.

Excellent and friendly welcome, room was checked over before giving us the keys, answered our questions (regarding public transport to Edinburgh). Good night’s sleep, comfortable and quiet. Good continental breakfast in the morning was good, with good service, option of coffees which where brought to the table. Would recommend this hotel, not large but good.

The Abbey is in a great location… about 20 mins drive from Edinburgh. The service was very good and the proprietors were lovely and offered great service. Breakfast was excellent. While the accommodation is basic it was clean and we were very comfortable there. TV also had Netflix which was great. A good place to stay if you’re on a budget and want to be close enough to Edinburgh to enjoy it without the expense and crowds!

The people who run the Abbey are lovely! Very nice service indeed. We had a good stay there. About 15 minutes drive from centre of Edinburgh, very convenient and easy to get to. Place a bit run down but still comfortable and clean.

Comfortable, close to shops and restaurants, away from centre and hence less busy. Staff were exceptionally helpful especially Romik.

Staff were friendly and breakfast was served nicely. Rooms were appointed well. Close to airport. Sheets were not fresh/clean. Window did not close. Hard to stand up in bathroom. Toilet function was a challenge. Front door was locked and buzzer needed to alert staff to open. No lobby, just breakfast eating area. Advertised as three star not two star as it clearly was. Remote location of ‘motel’ to shops.

Location

4.0 / 10.0

If you are looking for somewhere to stay on a budget just out of central Edinburgh this property is in a good location with buses every 15-20 mins to edinburgh. It typically took us 45 mins door to door to anywhere we were going in the centre and parking was free which was really helpful. I wanted to make a special shout out to the host that we dealt with throughout our stay, I’m so sorry but I don’t believe we exchanged names, but I know that he is originally from India. He was very respectful and friendly and told us interesting stories about his journey. He also let me use the bathroom at 8pm before driving back home - a small thing but greatly appreciated thank you!

This hotel is on a bus route straight into city and was definitely a great value for money option. It has a new owner who is working hard to make it a great destination. He was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good too - small buffet but fresh and tasty. I’d definitely stay again.

3.0 / 10.0

The room was good. Clean and comfortable BUT it was very noisy late at night and early in the morning with people walking about on VERY noisy floorboards in the room above ours. Couldn't get to sleep for ages and then was woken at the crack of dawn. NOT GOOD!! The hotel manager was super helpful and very courteous, nothing was too much trouble. The building itself could do with improvements making as first impressions aren't good 😕.

I very much enjoyed my stay at the Abbey Residence. The highlight of it all is of course the people. Hosts insisted on doing anything in their power to make your stay exceptional. All the advice on how to plan the stay and sightseeing in Edinburgh or in other areas made the experience much more easier and relaxed and very comfortable. It's not like it's ideal place on Earth, it's close to one of the main streets in the area so if you're sensitive to noise just remember your earplugs. I very much hope to be back sooner than later. Thanks for the lovely time!
