The Abbey Residence

Star ratings are based on Klook's overview of the property's information (such as services and facilities included, etc.), and are for reference only

While the hard working staff are very friendly and helpful the property does not match the photo's on the website. The entrance and front garden need updating.

Excellent place to stay! I would highly recommend it to future guests. The location is outstanding, with direct bus access right outside the property to the Royal Mile and many of Edinburgh’s major attractions. There is little to no need for Uber or other expensive transportation. Convenient, affordable, and an excellent choice!

The Abbey Residence is located in a more residential part of Edinburgh, but its steps away from a bus stop that takes your right into the city center. What sets this place apart is the amazing customer service. The staff was so accommodating to any need, and absolutely friendly and welcoming. The breakfast was a nice, light nibble to start your day. The ease of having a little bar right at reception was nice if you were looking for a night cap. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a quiet place to rest after exploring city, this is it!

The Abbey Residence has a rooming house feel. We had a spacious room with large but dated ensuite. The walls could use a lick of paint, but there were no real issues with the room. Wifi was good and our room had a good sized Roku based smart TV with lots of streaming options. Parking in central Edinburgh is hard so leave your car at the Abbey Residence and catch the bus into town from the bus stop just across the road. It’s no high end hotel, but our room was clean and comfortable with good wardrobe and desk space. The staff were friendly and helpful. A local supermarket was just across the road if you need any ancillary items. There’s some traffic noise from the adjacent streets, but not enough to stop us from getting a good night’s sleep on the large soft bed. Overall a much more pleasant experience than you’d expect for the price point. Highly recommended for those wanting good value.

Clean room, efficient staff, quiet and comfortable.

Very chilled, staff always super friendly and happy to help. The coop is literally across the road and they allow you to sit and have dinner in their dining area. <3 Not too many amenities to note tbh. Bed was fairly decent, shower's a little small but only because I'm used to my massive shower at home. Temperature was well regulated. Walls are a little thin but the area is far out so it's not horrendously noisy, only thing you hear is people walking past in the morning and your neighbour's muffed phone call.

We needed place to stay for early AM airport flight. Abbey was a great choice.

Room was clean, bathroom freshly painted, but patchy. Shower drain was blocked. Breakfast served late, so we left at 7am with just few pastries packed in paper bags. No coffee, no juice. There's nothing to do around or look at. The new build village was constructed recently around. There's COOP store which saved us, as there's no dinner at the hotel.

Not easy to find. A larger sign would help. Plenty car parking. Rooms just a little tired. Staff very helpful.

The staff keep this place alive. The front desk man was the best thing about this hotel. This hotel needs lots of tlc inside and out, run down outside, dirty broken pinic tables, needs yard work weeds, old worn carpet at the front door. The grass is overgrown near the front door you can see junk piled up thru glass doors, beds leaning against the glass. Sad really for the pric. The inside is better however dated and needs lots of help better painting in the rooms, holes in the walls fixed but poorly. Taps are old hot water and cold water separate taps. Beds are two smal only a double that they call a king. The place could be so much better cause it has a great location near bus stops only 20 minutes to downtown Edinburgh. The owners need to work on getting this hotel in better shape. Without the front desk guy this place would not see much business.
