"The rooms are well designed with convenience in mind- there were drawers that pulled out from under the bed for luggage storage and a little kitchen with basic cooking dishes, plates and even a little dishwasher."

"I stayed at Wilde Aparthotel in Edinburgh and honestly? It felt less like a hotel stay and more like I'd temporarily moved into my dream apartment."

The location was great, right in the city center.

The room was not well kept. The shower wasn't cleaned properly. I found the stomping from upstairs and people in the corridor very loud, since the room wasn't soundproofed. These issues detracted from the overall experience and I expect more for the price

Fantastic Stay with Castle Views

quiet locationuseful kitchenthoughtful provision

The location could not be better. It is near Grassmarket. I found restaurants and pubs close by. My room was quiet at night. The kitchen facilities are useful. I appreciated the milk in the fridge.

The towel rail in the bathroom was permanently heated. It made the room a bit too warm at times.

The bedroom had comfortable beds and pillows for a restful sleep. I especially liked the window offering a view of the sky from the room, offering an amazing perspective. It had more than the necessary household appliances.
