The location was great and service was good.
Manjinder, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice, Safe and clean

This hotel is safe and very nice. Price is affordable and worth. Bus stop is nearby. Dinning room was supported and huge. I would give this hotel 5 stars.
Aung, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Convenient location

The location is central to all the tourist sites. The employees are friendly. The hotel is clean. The main problem is insufficient water pressure in the shower.

Beds are super comfy beds. Easily walk to downtown with easy transit options super clean and nice rooms would stay again
Arlen, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Relatively clean and definitely quiet and walkable. About a 30 minute walk from touristy parts of Edinburgh, can’t beat the value if you just need a place to sleep.

We stayed only one night & it was good to get a room fair 3 walkable to both Leith & city centre.
Linda, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Location is great, close to most and very close to trams, bed was comfortable. Though the shower was a dribble, and a few bits and pieces didn’t work. The communal area needs some work, don’t expect clean dishes to use or a breakfast included like we thought.
Andrew, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

I have previously been to the abbotsford when ut was under different owner who kept the BnB absolutely beautiful and was a brillant host and so peaceful place to lay your head.i would not receive this BnBs as its terribly dirty with used beds sheets still on and very noisey!! Thats been nice guys!!

2/10 Poor

1. Architecture delightful. Not as advertised in supplying services.
Lisa, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The staff was responsive and friendly. Overall the stay was nice, the only thing that made me not give them 5/5 is that we booked a triple room, upon arriving to the room only 2 bath towels where found, and even tho we asked for an extra towel through Expedia chat nobody provided it. Bear in mind with this and bring your towels from home but after all, we enjoyed our stay. Thank you for hosting us :)
Enrique, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Close to bus and tram. No elevator. Very helpful staff!
Kathy, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The room was clean, lovely and warm and had everything we needed. Cleaned daily with water, tea, coffee and biscuits replenished daily. Easy self check in and out. Great location, 2 minute walk from lots of shops, pubs and restaurants.
Simon, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice location, tram to the train station and airport a few minutes away, and if you like walking old town is 20 min away. The room is nice, nothing fancy, but it was clean and had decent amenities
Carole, 2-night trip

Comfortable and convienent
Jane, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Our room was very small, my 6’3 father could barely stand in it. Also the bathrooms are communal, I did not see that anywhere in the listing and would not have stayed as my parents are older and don’t enjoy that. The bathroom had no hand towel and they did not provide one (they also only gave us two towels not three). My bed was not made upon arrival with dirty sheets, however my parents bed was clean. We were pretty disappointed as this building has such good reviews and old architecture
Kirsten, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It was a nice stay there. Room and washroom was clean. But it was quite small room for 3 people. Just one cupboard given for 3 persons.

Victor, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Mistaken Identity

This was basically a Hostel. No reception, shared bathroom, no working tv, broken furniture, and inadequate check-in instructions. As a last minute booking on my part, I won’t go too hard, but would not book again.
La'Kendrick, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Regret booking at this place

Shared bathroom with the staff which lived on the premises. A lot of noice from the staff. Their "reception" was right outside our bedroom. The room was not clean and the bed was horrible. This was a total waste of money.
2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Clean but small.

We booked a triple room which was very small but it was clean and comfortable. Our main issue was the 3pm check in. We were early arriving at 2:30 hoping the room might have been available. It wasn't so came back at 3:30 still wasn't quite ready. On a city break and only visiting for one night the last thing you want is to be kept hanging around waiting to dump your bag. Could have been better organised.
