Melrose Melrose Abbey Hotels

"What a pleasant surprise to have our room ready for check in before 10AM! We were grateful for a few hours rest after flying overseas before heading out on the town. Reception was super friendly with suggestions on local coffee shops and the breakfast choices were delicious. Well worth the money."

"Check-in staff was super helpful when I requested a change of room as the first room had a window directly into the patio."

"A very nice hotel, conveniently located to the High Street in Edinburgh. Has a very nice bar/restaurant (you kinda have to like bars, and I don't ... but the drinks were good and they did have some very nice dishes on the menu) and excellent breakfast (even includes custom-made omelets). Room was comfy and quiet. I thought it was bit tight. But, worked quite well after being out and about all day. I wish I'd known there was hotels from this chain in London (near St. Paul's) and in Dublin (near Dublin Castle). I'd have probably stayed at those as well."

"An enjoyable stay. The place was very clean and tidy, the bed comfortable. The location was convenient - an easy bus ride, or walk to the city centre. Staff helpful and friendly. Excellent value for money"

"Somethings doesn't add up. The rating and pictures don't match the experience. First of all, this is not a traditional aparthotel where you check in and stay in that building. Staycity Edinburgh seems to have purchased residential apartments all surrounding the check in office. You may end up having to walk around the corner to your "block". Signage indicates residents may also be living in the same blocks that you are staying. The first room we were provided was facing the main road (western approach road). We had to seek to be moved and could only accept a different room with a double bed (on a king size booking). The room feels dated and after seeing the two rooms, the amenities are mixed. The rooms were uncomfortably warm, even after turning off the heating. Leave the window ajar, and neighbouring units chose to smoke and make calls outside our window between 10-1130 pm. The bed is overly firm and the pillows are thin and flat. The only positive was having a washing machine, although no detergent was provided. The location is listed as West End, however this is not in the true west end area north of Haymarket. The bus service to this area is ok. This pretend hotel claims to offer luggage storage. This is a half truth as you are required to pay £5 per day to use a locker through a third party. My advice: avoid this hotel if you value sleep, comfort, and the bare minimum."

"First class treatment here, and exceptionally accommodating with an early checkin for us weary travellers. All the facilities you could want, very nice roof top terrace to enjoy the view. Refreshingly reasonable in room mini bar. Importantly the hotel is superbly located and they deliver service in line with a top class establishment. Well done!!"

"Perfect"

"The rooms were clean and spacious. I appreciated having a refrigerator in the room. Perfect location for walking to pretty much everything. Very close to the train station."

"Liked the situation and the view. Appreciated parking spaces."
