This is a fantastic choice for anyone wishing to explore Edinburgh. Location cannot be beaten with plenty of shops and food options around and the wonderful castle as a centerpiece. All the nice touches that make a stay enjoyable from coffee to shortbread, washer and dryer, and everything else you could need. Great customer service as well as we received a call back within 2 minutes of submitting a question about our booking. I would absolutely stay here again and would recommend it highly.

We had a wonderful stay at 33 Castle Terrace in Edinburgh. The location couldn’t have been better—just steps away from the heart of the city, with stunning views of the Castle and easy access to all the main attractions. The place itself was spotless, well-maintained, and thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay.
The interiors had a warm, welcoming feel, making it easy to relax after a day of exploring the city. The attention to detail really stood out, from the cozy furnishings to the modern amenities. Communication with the host was smooth and professional, which made the whole experience stress-free.
Overall, 33 Castle Terrace offers the perfect balance of comfort, convenience, and charm. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Edinburgh.

Accommodations fit for royals
This place was even better than I imagined. Excellent location, easy access, and everything you need. It was spotlessly clean and obviously recently renovated/updated due to the excellent condition of everything. Chargers everywhere, modern appliances, and comfy bed.

Nice, clean apartment
We had a great stay at this apartment. It was clean, looks to have been recently renovated. It had two bedrooms with queen size beds and a nice living/kitchen area. No staff on site but management was responsive when reached via the Hotels.com message site. Was super close to Edinburgh Castle, although at the bottom of the hill, and there were nice cafes and a grocery store nearby. Plenty of room for our family of four with two adult children. They even had a convenient locker to store luggage before we could check in.

Good location.
Nice design, but not so stunning like in pictures. Quite a lot gaps like a broken window curtains, non-working light bulb, an empty dishwashing liquid dispenser, and all that stuff, that were not fixed during our half-week stay.

Excellent accommodations. Love the laundry facilities in apt. Quiet rooms, and easily walked. Great pub on the end street corner. My only complaints would be:
No laundry detergent.
No hot water after 8pm.
No onsite exterior waste bin/garbage can/ dumpster.
I typically remove all of our garbage just before we lo, I really hate leaving garbage behind for someone else to deal with.
Overall, we loved the location and would to stay again.

Stylish apartment and perfectly located 😊
A perfect , well designed compact space 👍
Well equipped with great quality appliances, gorgeous Arran Aromatics toiletries, sumptuous bedding and fluffy towels.
Ideally located for us as we were going to a concert at the Usher Hall🎸. And for dinner at Wagamama 🍜
Easy parking close by .
The negative reviews I read sadly reflect the damage done to these beautiful apartments by guests. Our toilet roll holder had obviously come detached previously with some force and I done imagine it’s easy to get repairs done between guests.
People should treat accommodation away from home with more care.🙄
