Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Holyrood Aparthotel is often praised for its well-equipped apartments, with kitchens that generally include a washing machine, making longer stays particularly convenient. Many guests appreciate the hotel's location, which is within walking distance of the Royal Mile and close to attractions, yet offers a quieter environment. The modern style and cleanliness are frequently mentioned, with some guests finding the breakfast lacking in variety or protein. A Tesco supermarket nearby adds to the convenience for those who prefer to prepare their own meals.

Acceptable stay, some drawbacks noticed

basic breakfastdamp towels
The breakfast provided in the room was rather basic. It included sliced white bread and sugary cereals. The double bed actually consisted of two single beds pushed together (they did not stay level). I also found the towels remained damp because the heater was not working properly.

The room was not as clean as i expected. i found some hairs in the bathroom and the floor seemed dusty. also, the promised breakfast selection was underwhelming. It consisted of a pre-packaged box with very basic items. i was expecting something fresher and more varied for the price i paid.
