“These apartments offer a smart base in Edinburgh's Old Town, with self-catering facilities adding real flexibility. I think the location, just off the Royal Mile, is a particular draw-quiet, yet steps from major attractions. For families or business travelers needing a longer stay, this could be just the right blend of independence and access.”

Clean and Well-Equipped Apartment

full kitchen comfortable bed
I found the kitchen very useful. It included a washer and dryer and dishwasher. I was happy to see washing powder and dishwasher tablets were provided. The staff were very friendly and helpful . The towels were large and very soft. The bed was also large and comfortable.
I removed the plug as the bathroom sink did not drain well. The shower door was small. Water ended up on the bathroom floor after each shower.
Rooms

The room was spacious and included a well-equipped kitchen with granite worktops. I noted the presence of ample cupboards. The bedding was comfortable. The room was generally quiet . There was a dining table and wardrobe.
Location
10/10
The location was very near tourist points. The hotel is close to the Scottish Parliament and Holyrood House Palace. I saw that the Dynamic Earth visitor attraction is nearby. There is a Tesco Express very close by, opens late.
