30 Castle Street Deluxe Apartments - Modern Studios with City Views in Edinburgh's Historic New Town

Located in Edinburgh's New Town, a district of neoclassical masterpieces and restored Georgian townhouses, this EDI hotel offers studio apartments with fully equipped kitchenettes. Each unit at 30 Castle Street Deluxe Apartments features parquet floors, a flat-screen TV, dining area, and private bathroom with shower, hairdryer, and complimentary toiletries. The kitchenettes come with a stovetop, refrigerator, microwave, and essential cookware. Guests benefit from free WiFi throughout the property and a paid airport shuttle service. The apartments sit less than 0.5 miles from Camera Obscura, World of Illusions, and The Real Mary King's Close. Eight restaurants, including Wildfire, Miro's Cantina, and The Golden Dragon, are within 0.3 miles of the property. Edinburgh Airport is 5.5 miles away, while landmarks such as St Giles' Cathedral, Scott Monument, and Royal Mile are all within 0.5 miles.

Pros

Quiet hours enforced between 10 PM and 9 AM

Located in the upscale New Town district with numerous boutiques and eateries

All units offer city views

Eight diverse dining options within 984.3 ft

Cons

5.5 miles distance from Edinburgh Airport

No on-site dining facilities

“The location in New Town places you amid upscale shops and dining, a definite plus. However, I'd be remiss not to mention the potential for noise from a downstairs club that some guests have noted. This adults-only property does offer modern apartments with kitchenettes, and aims for quiet hours, but be aware of the trade-offs.”

great locationneeded amenitiescomfy bedlow pressure
the location was great. it was easy to walk to many attractions. the room itself was a beautiful studio. it was spacious with all the amenities needed. the bed and pillows were comfy. (i slept like a log). the view from the window showed a bit of the castle.
the shower water pressure was not very good. it made showering somewhat difficult. i wish the pressure was higher for a more refreshing experience.
