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.

Excellent location in New Town area. Beautiful views. Easy access to various transportation (train, tram, bus, can). Very walkable area. Rose St right there, full of pubs/restaurants.The flat has everything you need. (Just know there is no AC, but there is a fan. There's a washing machine, but couldn't get dryer function to work or the device didn't have it included in the all-in-one function) Would definitely stay here again!

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.

Great place to stay right on Princes Street. Had a wonderful view of the castle and within walking distance of shops and restaurants. There were homeless by the front door, so safety when entering and leaving was a concern, but we didn’t have any problems.
