“Great staff, but the hotel badly needs some work”

Reviewed 20 May 2013 NEW

If it wasn't for the staff, I'd have been totally dis-satisfied with what is being charged for a 4 star hotel. We stayed for three nights, check in was friendly and efficient. We were allocated room 603 (we had upgraded to this floor with central bookings). As soon as we walked in the heat hit us, and the air con... More

“Exceptional”

Reviewed 14 May 2013

Had a great weekend staying at the MacDonald Holyrood. The Concierge service is exceptional - nothing was too much trouble, they knew we wanted umbrellas, taxis before we did and took care of all our luggage! Nice pool, sauna and steam room (grumpy spa receptionist). This is the 2nd time I've stayed here (first time with a baby) and I... More

“Happy to walk DOWNHILL to this hotel!”

Our busy, touristy day started with Edinburgh Castle, followed by exploration of the Royal Mile. The location of this hotel, at the BOTTOM of the Royal Mile hill, was great! We could enjoy the day and, as we got tired, we knew all we had to do was walk downhill to the hotel. The hotel was lovely and breakfast service... More

My husband booked this hotel as a surprise weekend for my 50th birthday celebration (Sat 11 May to Sun 12 May). We arrived early 11.30am, before check-in time, to ask if they could look after our case whilst we did some shopping. The receptionist informed us that our room was ready and we could check-in, which we wasn't expecting -... More
