Great location

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.

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.

Fantastic!

The heated flooring in the en suite bathroom was ideal, and the entire apartment was wonderful. The furnishings was everything cosy and practical. The dining room and kitchen all went together flawlessly, and the living room was the ideal size, light, and cleanliness. My niece and daughter adored their accommodation, and the bathroom was the ideal size for doing makeup and other necessities. It's conveniently located near restaurants, cafes, the train station, and buses. On my subsequent trip, I plan to stay there once more.

Great location, easy walk to old town and right in the middle of everything for shopping, dinner, market etc. kids loved the Tesco and McDonald’s right downstairs. Only suggestion is door stoppers as the room doors are very heavy.

If you're looking to be right in the City Centre with great views, look no further. These apartments are immaculate! Completely renovated. The building may be old on the outside, but on the inside surprised all of us. The staff was excellent to work with. There's a Poundland down the street to get some groceries to hold you over in the morning and evening. Would definitley stay here again. Also close to all the bus stops. Excellent.
