“This aparthotel strikes me as a particularly appealing choice for longer stays in Edinburgh, blending the independence of self-catered apartments with a prime location near the castle and other attractions. The recently renovated spaces, each individually decorated, offer a more intimate and personalized experience than a typical hotel room. I think the combination of modern kitchens, family-friendly layouts, and that central location makes this a standout option.”

Really good Central Retreat

The apartment design exceeded my expectations. Modern furniture enhanced the overall experience, and I found all necessary utensils, including baking paper, available. I am very satisfied with these features. It.
I found some broken blinds in the living room. This meant sunlight was restricted, a bit disappointing, but I am sure that can be resolved.

great locationcentral locationmissing cushionssofa stain
The location is very nice! The castle is right there when you walk outside, it is so excellent. It's like a five minute walk to the Royal Mile and all the shops are near.
The sofa had a stain and it was missing some cushions! a lightbulb needed to be replaced. These are little things but they affect the experience a lot.

amazing apartment near the castle!!!

clean apartmentqueen bedconvenient lockerbroken blind
The apartment was clean and recently renovated! it featured two bedrooms both equipped with queen size beds. a nice living area with a fully functional kitchen. i really appreciated the convenient locker available for storing luggage before check-in. It was a lifesaver. accessing the apartment was easy too!
most of the blinds were broken and i could not open them in the living room. as a result, the room was pretty dark for much of my stay. this affected the natural lighting and the overall ambiance of the room.

i liked that the location was perfect. the area is right next to the castle. saturday featured a local market. the apartment was very clean.
most of the blinds would not open in the living room, so sunlight never came through. the toilet roll holder was snapped off the wall and left on the side of the table. this left a hole in the bathroom wall.
