I stayed at the Abbey Hotel in January 2012 and while the owners, man and wife, were very lovely, helpful, and accomodating, the first people to 'greet' me were the 20 something housekeepers who literally glared at me. As a single woman traveling in a new country, I would have liked a less hostile attitude from the people I knew... More

As a family of 4 (inc young adult kids), the room was just the right size for our needs having stayed here for 2 nights. It is an excellent quiet location, 10-15 mins walk to eateries and 20 mins walk to the castle and Princes Street. Was able to access private off street parking (5 mins drive and 10-15 walk)... More

We stayed at his hotel end of June just before the Bon Jovi concert when more og less all hotels were full. I would probably rather call the place a nice Bed & Breakfast in a townhouse building. The couple running this place is really nice and very helpful. We had 2 rooms that were very different in size but... More

The people running the place are absolutely lovely, which is why I hate writing this, but I must tell the truth. The location was very central to all the sights. The room was very small - not a problem for me, but I really think they should let people know this when booking, as my parents would never have been... More

The management and staff were extremely helpful and friendly, and provided a very good standard of service. The room was very clean, quiet and comfortable. An excellent full Scottish breakfast was provided. The hotel is within walking distance of Princes Street, also Waverley train and bus stations. All in all, I would strongly recommend the Abbey Hotel. More
