Traveller reviews

“The location is spot-on. Very helpful and timely responses.”

Coziness, and we had a good experience living in an older constructed building. I was aware of the stairs before booking it, and it was smaller than I initially thought. Bathroom is great.

“Superb”

The room is so cosy it was lovely coming back after a cold day walking round Edinburgh to the room. The location was perfect so close to everything and there was a cute little pub near by the Jolly Judge where we went for a night cap each evening. Despite being so central it was really quiet in the evening as you were slightly off the main street.

“Stayed for just one night. Good location, neat and clean room. Will stay again.”

The location is very convenient, the room is very clean, and the amenity supplies are well provided . The room is slightly on the smaller side, but the high ceiling makes up for it, so it’s fine. You need to climb a few stairs, but that’s due to it’s a historical building, so there’s no need to be picky.

“apart from the stairs everything else was perfect”

location was perfect central to all main attractions

“Very good”

Great spot. Great location and very comfortable. Lots of steps up to the flat is the only thing. But all things considered was lovely

“Unique stay at historic part of Edinburgh”

Location was the best for sure. So cool to stay in such an interesting and special area of Old Town, in one of the Closes. Also, even if the apartment is by the Royal Mile, the courtyard is very quiet, so a peaceful place to stay. The room was very comfortable, I really loved the bed and the pillows! We went in a very cold weekend (0 degrees Celsius) and the room was always warm, the heating worked perfectly!
