About this property

Luxury central Edinburgh with stunning views of castle!

Location, location, location!

The Robert Louis Stevenson Suite is a luxury apartment with unprecedented views of Edinburgh Castle. Located just 2 minutes from the iconic Princes St on the corner of George St (lots of shopping, bars and restaurants) and North Castle St, the apartment is in the heart of the New Town, making it an ideal base for visiting all the main tourist sites of Edinburgh.

The apartment block was one of the first flats to be built in the New Town by James Craig in 1790 and sits directly adjacent to the Edinburgh town house of Sir Walter Scott! For the sake of clarity, the apartment is located on the first floor of the building and from street level there are approx 20 steps (no elevator as one of the first buildings to be erected in "The new Town" and is a listed building). The steps are more gradual and winding than steep and vertical.

The flat opens into a square reception hall providing access to all rooms. To the front of the flat and with a southerly aspect from its twin windows is a magnificent drawing room featuring a gas fire with iron grate and pretty timber mantle, dado paneling and delicate plaster work. A glazed door provides secondary access from the drawing room into a striking breakfasting kitchen fitted with an attractive range of painted timber units topped with thick granite surfaces and incorporating a full range of integrated appliances, including a recessed range cooker set, oven/grill, and microwave as well as a washing machine and full height fridge/freezer.
The bedrooms comprise a generously proportioned master bedroom with a king size bed and dual aspect views towards Edinburgh Castle. This bedroom features secondary double glazing and also benefits from a luxurious en-suite shower room.
The second bedroom is set up with twin beds (can be pushed together to form a double on request) and is served by an equally well fitted family bathroom off the hall.
Larger parties can enquire about our apartment in the same building - The Walter Scott Suite ( same building below this one on the first floor), has the same high spec and stunning views of Edinburgh Castle. Combined, both properties can accommodate up to 8 / 10 people comfortably. It has the same stunning views of Edinburgh Castle and can be made available by special request.

Across the ponc
We had a week in Edinburgh before heading to a wedding in England The location was perfect, within walking distance to the castle. Quiet street and even a gin bar next door to end our day. Plenty of room with a nice kitchen and roomy bathroom. But, the furniture was a little worn, lots of stains, nicks etc and a broken ceiling chandelier in the second bedroom . Some TLC is needed for the price. Apart from that it was a great stay.

Great location but…
The location was perfect. We could see the castle from the one bedroom window which was nice. Know that you will hear the bar below the property late at night but that was not a big deal for us. Things that could be better or noted is the wifi is almost non existing. It is there but we could do anything in it and tried several times super slow and had to be in the kitchen to get a strong signal, finally gave up. The TV setup was very confusing had to purchase batteries for the five different remotes so they would work only to find out the setup box had a menu but no subscription to anything so turned it off and watch Netflix which was the only streaming service available as it’s a super old TV…. Bottom line you get a shell of a place in a great location without anything that is now fairly standard like body soap for the shower, bring extra towels. This could be a fantastic place with some upgrades so you don’t have to bring everything yourself… 😉

About the host

Host profile image
I worked as an actor for many years and as a radio broadcaster on the BBC, presenting arts programmes. I'm also very interested in cultural tourism projects and in 1996 created The Edinburgh Literary Pub Tour, an award winning tour performed by professional actors. It runs throughout the year and Rick Steves, presenter of travel programmes USA wide, is quoted as saying in a recent review, 'for an entertaining insight into the greats of Scottish literature, served up with new friends, good beer, and lots of laughs, The Edinburgh Literary Pub Tour is my vote for the best way to spend an Edinburgh Evening!' so can't be bad!! Let me know if your interested in going on the tour at check-in and I can reserve you a slot.
