The staff, most especially Romik were warm and welcoming. I even got a room upgrade which I highly appreciated not to mention the comfty bed! Location is also convenient as you have direct buses that can take you to the city center. I highly recommend staying at this accommodation. ##### Donal Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Samuel Jan 14, 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Really pleased with my stay. Upgraded me from single room to double. Staff couldnt have been more helpful. There was a problem with the water supply in room so they moved me to a better room. Comfortable bed, great size room, lovely and quiet, good sleep, breakfast was good. Free parking. Bus stop to get all over Edinburgh and back, right across the road. For what I paid it was excellent. Thank you! ##### Samuel Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2026 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tami Marie Oct 8, 2025 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Amenities Staff very helpful.

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! ##### Paul Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hannah Jun 5, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great stay in Edinburgh!

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. ##### Louise Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### David Sep 17, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Not so clean but friendy ##### David Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Georgette Mar 24, 2025 Liked: Amenities was phenominal; safe, cozy, and courteous staff who just want to make sure you are the most comfortable.

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! ##### Louise Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Linda Apr 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Comfortable bed.

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. ##### Pamela Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ali-Reza Feb 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Amazing staff, super friendly.

You guys are very much appreciated.. thank you for everything! ♥️ ##### Madonna Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Debra Apr 16, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Traffic noise all night. Staff lovely nothing too much trouble for them. Extremely helpful and professional ##### Debra Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Janet Jun 20, 2025 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. ##### Janet Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alina Apr 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### The Abbey Residence experience 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! ##### Alina Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Rosemary May 4, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Friendly staff and good location with free parking 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! ##### Rosemary Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alana Apr 9, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I stayed here for a night whilst traveling solo for the first time, though I wish I could’ve stayed longer. Everything was lovely and professional, as were the owners. I had the pleasure of speaking with each of them—they are truly the kindest souls, and gave very helpful recommendations concerning Edinburgh activities. My room was very comfortable; the bathroom was warm, which was very pleasant after a chilly day; and the neighborhood around the hotel is adorable and quiet if you prioritize beauty rest. I don’t really eat breakfast, but it is served everyday between 7:30 and 9:30AM if you need a pick-me-up. Truly a gem if you get to stay here after the business of Edinburgh’s center; and absolutely worth the price—I highly recommend! Transportation to and from the city center is easy both by bus or car. ##### Alana Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Apr 28, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### So- 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 😕. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Malmaison Edinburgh City](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Malmaison-Edinburgh-St-Andrews-Square.h38786208.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Edinburgh Carlton](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Hilton-Edinburgh-Carlton.h1648.Hotel-Information) > > [Destiny Student Holyrood - Campus Accommodation](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Destiny-Student-Holyrood.h12691403.Hotel-Information) > > [The Caledonian Edinburgh, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-The-Caledonian-Edinburgh.h4198.Hotel-Information) > > [Braid Hills Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Best-Western-Edinburgh-South-Braid-Hills-Hotel.h47821.Hotel-Information) > > [Victorian Townhouse at Stockbridge](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Victorian-Townhouse-At-Stockbridge.h23803598.Hotel-Information) > > [Wilde Aparthotels, Edinburgh, Grassmarket](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Wilde-Apartments-By-Staycity-Grassmarket.h39822833.Hotel-Information) > > [Warm & Welcoming Flat near Edinburgh Castle](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Warm-Welcoming-Flat-Near-Edinburgh-Castle.h31859316.Hotel-Information) > > [BrewDog DogHouse Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-DogHouse-Edinburgh.h72942233.Hotel-Information) > > [Beautiful Georgian Flat in Edinburgh - Sleeps 4](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Beautiful-Georgian-Flat-In-Edinburgh-Sleeps-4.h30315362.Hotel-Information) > > [Northumberland Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Northumberland-Hotel.h888647.Hotel-Information) > > [The University of Edinburgh, Baird House - Campus Accommodation](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-The-University-Of-Edinburgh.h30551487.Hotel-Information) > > [Mount Royal Hotel Edinburgh by The Unlimited Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Mount-Royal-Hotel-Edinburgh-By-The-Unlimited-Collection.h802180.Hotel-Information) > > [Unique Stay Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Unique-Stay-Edinburgh.h24050590.Hotel-Information) > > [The Scholar](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Salisbury-Green-Hotel-Bistro.h3911559.Hotel-Information) > > [Edinburgh Holiday Guest House](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Edinburgh-Holiday-Guest-House.h10240161.Hotel-Information) > > [4 Friends House](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-4-Friends-House.h102535323.Hotel-Information) > > [Summer Stays at The University of Edinburgh - Campus Accommodation](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Pollock-Halls.h1083952.Hotel-Information) > > [Fingal - A Luxury Floating Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Fingal.h38753319.Hotel-Information) > > [Grassmarket, Below Edinburgh Castle in Old Town](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Grassmarket.h36154744.Hotel-Information) > > [Edinburgh College Residence](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Edinburgh-College-Residence.h95336115.Hotel-Information) > > [Kick Ass Greyfriars - Adults Only - Hostel](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Kick-Ass-Greyfriars.h23505147.Hotel-Information) > > [The Edinburgh Castle Suite](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-The-Edinburgh-Castle-Suite.h23958383.Hotel-Information) > > [Kick Ass Grassmarket - Adults Only - Hostel](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Kick-Ass-Grassmarket.h29089454.Hotel-Information) > > [Destiny Student Murano - Campus Accommodation](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Destiny-Student-Murano.h12921745.Hotel-Information) > > [JOIVY Quiet Mews Street Apartment in the Heart of Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Quiet-Mews-Street-Apartment-In-The-Heart-Of-Edinburgh.h36985561.Hotel-Information) > > [JA The Bruntsfield - Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Edinburgh-City-Centre-Bruntsfield-Hotel.h20702.Hotel-Information) > > [Sophisticated Edinburgh Apartment in City Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Sophisticated-Edinburgh-Apartment-In-City-Centre.h24279114.Hotel-Information) > > [CODE - The Court, Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-CoDE-Pod-Hostels-THE-CoURT.h36150915.Hotel-Information)
