Lovely apartment in a great location. Right next to the Palace. Located at the opposite end of the royal mile to Edinburgh castle, and not far from all tourist sites and restaurants. It's all uphill from the apartment, but a lovely downhill walk on the way back. 😁 Apartment was lovely and clean, plenty of room for us and a super handy bed/sofa that was easy to use each day. Only issue was we were never sent the door code for entry to the apartment. No-one seemed to reply on the info@abbeystrandapartments.com email address. Called twice and was told something about the company being bought out. Super helpful lady on the phone who then sent us the door code. That came from reception@oldtownchambers.com email address. Who knows who's running it. Great weekend break in a great apartment. Admin was rubbish though. As always, saved by the lovely friendly staff on the phone.

Nice clean apartment next door to Holyrood Palace

Nice apartment at the end of the Royal Mile next door to Holyrood Palace. Very clean and modern with a few caveats. 1) Check in instructions come an hour or so before the 3 pm check in. Email notes code to use to enter premises. There are two doors/gates from the street, and the code should work for both but ours only worked for the right door/gate which was the street entrance to the apt tower (walk down the little hallway tunnel then enter code again on the left at tower). The left door/gate is suppose to be the Lounge/laundry area that all guests can access but I was never able to check as our code didn’t work (I didn’t bother to ask for a new code as we had other issues to fix during our stay noted below). 2) Stairs and not accessible friendly. Just noting that the apartments are mostly in the tower which has a narrow winding staircase. 3) We stayed in Mrs Ludsmen and the one bedroom apt was very nice and clean. However pls note that the toilet was 100% not working (wouldn’t stop running and couldn’t flush until water ran its course which sometimes took a few hours). Other times, it worked fine for a few flushes then would start to run again. They did send someone out to check it out but I never received any info on the issue as we were out sightseeing. When we got back, it worked for 2 flushes and then it stopped working for a few hours. 4) If you need reliable WiFi, I would get your own or use your phone’s cell plan. The free WiFi barely worked no matter time of day.

No WIFI but apt is beautiful

We loved this apartment, but if WiFi is at all important to you, be warned that although it is billed as including WiFi, it only worked for us in the building lounge and not in our apartment at all. Beautiful building in beautiful location—nearest neighbor seemed to be the king? It’s right by the palace and across from the parliament building. Very quiet at night but it’s a walk to groceries. Housekeeping every day. Excellent bed but bed in fold out couch could have been better (but we have had worse). Check-in process was a little mysterious because our email with instructions didnt get send until very late morning that day and we had already left our previous accommodation and had no access to email

A lovely apt to have as a base. Easily walked to bus stops for the hop on hop off buses. Next to Holyrood Palace and Kings Gallery. You might even see protestors at the Scottish Parliament from your window as well as Arthur's seat. Abbey Strand had everything we needed and I would stay longer if I could. They have a wonderful laundry/ common lounge area.

IMPORTANT: I want to give a 4 but I can’t. The space is cute and cozy. 1. We initially had difficulty accessing the apartment and were given the wrong code.Ultimately we got in after about 20 minutes. 2 The remotes didn’t work and one tv was not functions all. We don’t watch tv much but it should work. 3. There is mold in the shower crevices near basin. 4. The bathroom floor has perma-dirt on the otherwise lovely tile. 5. THERE IS A WEEKLY FIRE ALARM on Thursdays (“per the palace”) and no one mentions this terrifying 9 am interruption of calm. Nuts. They treated this as normal. It’s not normal. The hotel is near things (nature & entertainment/food).and in a great location. The other amenities were fine. The support team is polite and swift. The housekeeper will probably smoke outside your window if you face the beautiful garden so mind the windows as she does not care about the influence of her habit upon guests. The client support is offsite so there’s a gap in services. Baggage storage is also offsite but conveniently near both castle and train station. There is no one onsite for such amenities. What’s good: comfy beds, usable kitchen space, private apartment on its own floor, a lovely courtyard, next to palace grounds and a museum, good bath supplies and a wonderful soak tub, and a bit of city view from multiple windows, nice decor and clean space beyond bathrooms.
