Excellent hotel although it is about a 10 minute walk from the sites of the old town (except Holyrood Palace of course). A few minor things; The buffet breakfast is table waited for the hot food meaning that staff are busy taking orders and bringing out food. The quality of the food is great but this means tables are cleared very slowly as staff are doing other things and oftens means that you have to wait up to 15 minutes for a seat even though there are plenty of tables available, just not cleared. The TV in the room is on the floor to one side of the bed so good luck watching it if two people are sharing a bed. No free Wi-fi although you can go to the pub next door and use their free wi-fi. But for £80 a night over Easter including breakfast I still think this hotel is a bargain and recommend it to those that dont mind a short walk.

Having stayed at the Mcdonald Holyrood in Edinburgh for the last three years, I would highly recommend it to anybody. It is in a great location at the bottom of the royal mile in the old town. The facilities, including the pool and spa, restaurant and bar are superb. Finally, the service is second-to-none.

The friendly and helpful staff in all departments of the hotel made this a very pleasurable stay. the room was excellent. The breakfast choice was extensive and all cooked meals were served fresh and piping hot. I would have no hesitation in recommending this hotel.

Everything was 100% my only comment would be if your reception and bar area could be made a little bigger with more seating.

We were very impressed by the size and furnishings of the rooms. We did feel the price of the carparking was a little steep. Breakfast was good.

A modern hotel offering all that you would expect from its 4* status.

We both thoroughly enjoyed our short stay at the hotel and found the staff courteous and most helpful. The standard of the accommodation was unquestionably 4.5 * in our opinion and was luxurious and comfortable. We would not hesitate to stay there again or to recommend it to others. Our only negative observation (and a very small one) is that the listing for leek soup in the restaurant is spelled leak (as in drip) Perhaps our being Welsh adds to our sensitivity over the spelling of our national emblem which is course the leek. Seriously, the overall impression was extremely favourable and we fully intend to return to this lovely hotel.

Should have wireless internet in the rooms by now - most competitors have, restaurant closed at 9.45pm which is (perhaps) early for late check ins. However staff were fantastic and helpful.

An excellent hotel in a peaceful and beautiful location, Hotel staff were welcoming and most helpful. The food was superb-the best venison and best kippers we have ever tasted.

Over priced. Car parking is £15/$30 a day, which I think is a bit steep. Lobby is nice, but room had defective lights and was grubby.

We really enjoyed our weekend break in Edinburgh and plan to return. When we do, we will be staying at the Holyrood Hotel again. The room, facilities and food were excellent. The staff were friendly and always willing to help.
