Top hotels in Abbeyhill
Abbey Strand Apartments, at Holyrood
The space was lovely and comfortable. We enjoyed our stay very much! The only challenge was that we could not turn on any heat in the living room area and it was a little chilly.

Apex Grassmarket Hotel
Very reasonable for a hotel in the heart of Edinburgh. 5* staff and amenities. The room had an amazing view of the castle.

Moxy Edinburgh Airport
Room very good for one or two nights. Smallish but spotless. Staff pleasant and helpful. Breakfast was haphazard, out of control. Tables left uncleared. Buffet food not topped up. In the end, we didn't bother and went for a McDs instead!!!
