This place was an absolute dream. A piece of history. I’ve dreamed of staying in these gorgeous buildings since my first visit to Edinburgh 15 years ago. To get any closer to the castle you’d have to stay in the King’s chambers. Everything was sparkling clean and well appointed. The decor was tasteful and cozy and in keeping with the aesthetic of the building. We loved the stained glass and gable in the entry way, the large glazed windows, and of course the knight in shining armor! Check in was a breeze and we loved the informative video guides. The host was helpful and easily accessible. There was plenty of hot water and great water pressure in the shower. We were able to find paid parking on a close side street with no issues. We traveled with a toddler and loved that the upstairs living areas were able to be shut off from the stairs with a door for safety. We didn’t cook much but the kitchen had everything you’d need if you wanted to shop and cook at home. The views of princes street were so lovely, particularly at night. We felt that this apartment was a great value for the location, the amenities, and of course the history. Perfect for groups and families. We look forward to returning.
