This is an executive level flat at the West End of Princes Street and a great jumping off point for many Edinburgh adventures. We tend to walk everywhere as opposed to taking taxis/buses, and found it to be very convenient. Markets and late night restaurants were a 5 minute walk away, adding to the convenience that a traveler might need.
On the outside, the street was clean and neighborhood was very quiet and seemed safe. Inside, the space was finished out with a very modern, clean lined aesthetic, but warmed up by wood floors (with a great, aged texture and just enough “creaking” to make them seem old and authentic). The finish out was very nice and included almost everything a visitor would want. The colorful art brightened up the flat and what can be a gray city on cloudy, rainy days. The kitchen and bath were top of the line and designed very well.
Because of my work, I have the opportunity to stay in top hotels fairly often. While the beds were confortable compared to most beds, and certainly compared to beds in most hotels, they were not consistent with the ultra-high-end feel of the place overall. The availability of a washer/dryer and super-comfy beds would take this place to a truly elite level.
Compared to a high-end hotel, this place does provide good value for money.
