You can't find any place better than this one in the heart of royal mile in Edinburgh. It is within the walk distance to all the attractions in the city. Because it is a luxury apartment, it has everything we need including washer and dryer, which is very convenient for longer stay. Maybe right now it is an "off season", the price is also very reasonable given the location and the condition of this place. We absolutely loved this place.

Staff were helpful and the guest house was very clean. The breakfast was ok with a choice of either hot or cold food. Have to say the cooked breakfast choice was limited and although the quantity was good it would have been good to have had say bacon rather than sausages every day. Location was excellent with bus stops into city centre outside. A very friendly place to stay.

The city centre can be easily reached by numerous busses. The house is right on a busy road, but with the provided earplugs it is no problem at all.

Good basic accommodation for the Fringe, when it's hard to find places to stay for a reasonable price. Exactly what you would expect from a student room: decent bathroom, bed, desk, small wardrobe, quite spartan. Well equipped shared kitchen. Decent location with a supermarket and cafe downstairs and plenty of places to eat nearby. About a mile from the city centre. Friendly staff who seem to work very hard.
