I stayed here for a night whilst traveling solo for the first time, though I wish I could’ve stayed longer. Everything was lovely and professional, as were the owners. I had the pleasure of speaking with each of them—they are truly the kindest souls, and gave very helpful recommendations concerning Edinburgh activities. My room was very comfortable; the bathroom was warm, which was very pleasant after a chilly day; and the neighborhood around the hotel is adorable and quiet if you prioritize beauty rest. I don’t really eat breakfast, but it is served everyday between 7:30 and 9:30AM if you need a pick-me-up. Truly a gem if you get to stay here after the business of Edinburgh’s center; and absolutely worth the price—I highly recommend! Transportation to and from the city center is easy both by bus or car.

The Abbey Residence experience

I very much enjoyed my stay at the Abbey Residence. The highlight of it all is of course the people. Hosts insisted on doing anything in their power to make your stay exceptional. All the advice on how to plan the stay and sightseeing in Edinburgh or in other areas made the experience much more easier and relaxed and very comfortable. It's not like it's ideal place on Earth, it's close to one of the main streets in the area so if you're sensitive to noise just remember your earplugs. I very much hope to be back sooner than later. Thanks for the lovely time!
