“The apartments here offer a blend of independence and hotel-style service; self-catering is genuinely viable thanks to the kitchenettes, and the location on the Royal Mile puts guests in the heart of Edinburgh's historic center. While housekeeping is less frequent than in a standard hotel, the trade-off for a more residential feel seems worthwhile, particularly for families or longer stays; the social vibe in common areas and pet-friendly policies are a definite plus. For travelers prioritizing location and a degree of self-sufficiency, this property presents a solid choice.”

Excellent Stay on Royal Mile

kitchen facilitieslaundry facilitiesair conditioning
Our family appreciated the in-room kitchen facilities. A combi-oven and microwave made heating meals easy. Having laundry facilities with washers and dryers inside the hotel was a GREAT convenience, something that helped us a LOT.
The air conditioning didn't work well. The unit shut off at night. I did not sleep well .

The location is AMAZING. I could walk to many attractions. The capsule coffee machine was also a very thoughtful addition. The studio provided things I could easily use in the kitchen.
The staff wasn't overly friendly when I arrived.

perfect locationfriendly staffspacious roommissing toaster
the location is indeed perfect for exploring the area on foot. i especially appreciated the proximity to the train station. the spacious room and the friendly staff definitely added to the experience.
the lack of a toaster in the kitchenette was a slight inconvenience. i feel a toaster is a standard appliance for such a setup.
