"The location is pretty much a 15/20 minute walk to most places, there is a greggs and a shop across the road which is expensive but there is a Tesco express a 5 min walk."

“Edinburgh Castle Apartments' location just off Princes Street is a prime draw, placing guests within easy reach of Edinburgh's main attractions. I noted that the property's blend of historic charm with modern amenities creates a distinctive experience. A potential downside is street noise, but the well-appointed, comfortable rooms certainly compensate.”
