The two-bedroom apartment was wonderful! Comfortable beds, nice and clean, and a beautiful view onto a quiet neighborhood but still within easy walking distance to everything you’d need in Edinburgh. It’s a great place to stay with very friendly staff.

The room was very small, the bathroom door didn’t shut, the bed was horrible. Felt a little claustrophobic. staff was very friendly though. The royal walk is not that close, about a 15 minute walk from the hotel. If you are staying for a day or 2, it’s fine, longer than that, it’s a nope for me.

Toilets didn’t flush properly. Poor drainage in the shower. King size bed was just two twins pushed together. Not the best breakfast especially for the added expense.
