Macdonald Holyrood Hotel

"Very friendly and welcoming service at Reception. Very clean hotel. The room(s) we had were clean, spacious and had what we needed - a large comfortable bed. Plenty of towels, bottled water in the room, selection of teas and coffees, kettle, iron, ironing board, ensuite - massive walk in shower. Large TV on the wall. This is my second time at this hotel and I have no complaints."

"The Holyrood Hotel by Marriott is located on Holyrood Street and is within easy walking distance of Holyrood Palace and everything on the Royal Mile, including Edinburgh Castle. There is breakfast included, which is one of the most impressive hotel spreads I have ever seen. The restaurant also offer food and drink throughout the day, including afternoon tea at £20 per person. It includes sandwiches, cakes and tea. The staff is attentive. The rooms are clean. The bed is super comfy. There is a kettle and coffee and tea in the room and complimentary water."

"Near the end of the Royal mile and Holyrood Palace. That meant a challenging uphill walk. Not suitable for old people. Friendly reception. The room was spacious and comfortable. Big bathroom. Indoor swimming pool was a plus. The buffet breakfast with scrambled eggs, mushrooms, meats (bacon, sausage) and some breads without too many varieties even we stayed four nights. The hotel gave a plate with four macaroons for my birthday. I put them in the refrigerator to avoid the housekeeping took away. The room and bathroom were not thoroughly cleaned on a daily basis. The housekeeping used about 10 mins and only brought out empty tissue box but did not re-fill. The design of the bathroom was problematic. After showering, most of the floor was effusion of water. As a gold member of expedia.com, this was the most disappointed hotel that I booked."
