"Good location for exploring Edinburgh. Lots of nice restaurants nearby.
Apartment was very nice. Only complaint was the bed which wasn't very comfortable. Mattress could use replacing."
"I couldn’t believe how beautiful this property is and the attention to detail was impeccable. Even the lounge area with cappuccino, latte, pastries, etc. were a pleasant surprise. It’s in the perfect location too, we walked everywhere without any problems."

"Great location. Clean, spacious rooms. Has a restaurant on site."
"This is a great hotel. The location is perfect. It’s near many attractions and we could see the castle right outside our window! The staff was very helpful. The windows were very soundproof and we had a very quiet stay."
"Anastasia, the front desk manager was outstanding! She helped us tremendously when booking day trips. She gave us incredible advice on delicious restaurants. Highly recommend.
