What an incredible place to stay. Blackfriars Loft apartments are stunning. Furnished beautifully. Everything you could need was provided. The apartment was spotlessly clean, comfortable and located so close to the Royal Mile. Beautiful bathroom and toiletries. Very handy to have a washing machine and drying rack. Fabulous whiskey and pizza bar directly under the apartment and fabulous place for breakfast next door. We were able to park directly in front of the building to unload luggage which was convenient. Highly recommend a stay here.

The loft was rather cramped and difficult to gain access to the bed.
Perfect location. Just 1/2 a block from the Royal Mile. Gorgeous historic building. Having a cozy apartment that is centrally located was great.
The apartment was wonderful and exactly what we hoped for. Highly recommend!
This was an excellent place to stay. Very convenient walking distance to everything. Quiet side street. Plenty of room. washing machine and dryer combo was a blessing. plenty of room. Locker space in lobby to store bags after checkout or early checkin. (we did not need this trip). kitchenette was great. Would stay here again.
Pros: great location, good space, easy check in.
Cons: Towel full of lint, could do with bigger bowls, no cooking oil provided, smoke detector alarm went off so easily on using the oven (even if nothing was burnt), and heated towel rack could only be turned on when heating for the entire apartment was turned on (which made the entire place too warm, otherwise we had damp/ cold towels).
Wow! Just wow. Great location. Great space. I was traveling with my adult son and needed a place with separate rooms - without paying for two hotel rooms on the Royal Mile. The Blackfriars Lofts was perfect. Bedroom, cool loft, full kitchen and lovely living room. Liked it so much, immediately searched to see what other cities The Linton Collection operates. Highly recommend.

Great location very walkable. Loved the aesthetic.
Apartment is excellent but the directions to the property supplied were not for the property we booked so we wasted time trying to find it. Other than that the only thing is that there was only 6 coat hangers.

This was our favorite place we stayed in our entire 12 day trip. The location was perfect, the apartment was spacious and well designed, and the historic window was the cherry on top. We would definitely stay there again.
