Great place to stay. Very central. We only would have loved to have a mirror in the bathroom!! The mattresses were also very soft and a bit worn. Otherwise all great.

What a wonderful place to stay. I never dreamed we’d be able to book such a lovely place to stay with views of St John’s and Edinburgh Castle from our window. Staff was friendly and helpful, and I can’t thank them enough.

Apartment was wonderful inside and building next to a TESCO. Washer and dryer a bit tricky. Dryer locks so best to operate the night before check out.

Good view of castle from flat. There is no elevator . Parking an easy walk but through a busy area. Great pubs and restaurants nearby. Unfortunately there is a food store at geound level that drew the homeless and trash.

Great location, close to everything you need
Our family came from London to visit Edinburgh. We loved it. Our stay was great. The only downside is that there isnt a lift. So we had to carry up things and down the stairs, including my 16 month old son and his big stroller. Other than that, its a great place to stay!! Super clean and pretty updated.

Property management was quick in helping us with a parking problem. Every hotel is in the same situation as there's only free parking at a church. Otherwise you have to pay €10 a day between eight and 6 o'clock. But the area was great and we had a fun time.

The location is fantastic! The castle view cannot be beat. Everything is within walking distance. Having Tesco next door is beyond convenient. The flat itself was super clean & just perfect for the two of us. Having said that the windows could use a cleaning & other comments about the homeless (only 1 guy) are true but he didn’t bother us & isn’t always around. There is often some litter around the front door but usually cleaned up during the day. None of it bothered us, it’s part of living in a big, old city. I do feel a ceiling fan would be a great addition as the flat did often feel stuffy & for safety I’m sure-the windows only open maybe 2-3”. Would definitely stay there again & I do highly recommend the property.
