Our experience with this apt was perfect. It’s got a great location. It’s in the middle of the royal mile. It’s about the same walking distance to both castles. Clear communication with the property management. It was extremely clean. It is in a secure building which made us feel like we were safe. Not that the area is rough by any means. I’m already trying to book it again next month. There isn’t any parking available but there is a parking garage just down the road. You don’t really need a car but we wanted to go out of the city some. I highly recommend this place over a hotel. It kind of makes you feel like a local. The next time I’m in Edinburgh I will try to book this place before any other.

Great location, ample living space, really comfortable beds and showers. Great facility overall. The location is central and therefore street noise may disturb sleep if sensitive to noise.

Großartige Unterkunft mitten auf der Royal Mile

Perfekte Lage. Tolles Appartement. Tolle Ausstattung super sauber. Wohnzimmer hat etwas arg schalldurchlässige Fenster aber perfekt für das fringe Festival und in den Schlafbereichen ist alles vergleichsweise schön ruhig. Absolutely thumbs up. Die Eincheck und auscheck Hinweis sind in der Website etwas versteckt aber aber der freundliche Mitarbeiter des Ibis hat geholfen. Jederzeit gerne wieder und absolut den Preis wert.
