The location was great - easy to get to from the Princes St. Tram stop (and just as easy from train or bus from airport if taken). The instructions to find it and get in were perfect and easy to follow. Even though it is technically above a bar, it wasn’t noisy! And I was there Halloween weekend, so don’t let that worry you. The room was the perfect size for my solo travel and I felt safe. Very clean and the staff was very prompt with communication. Would stay again!

The temperature thing took a minute to get used to, but it all worked out fine. If you have any issues with mobility, I’d really consider….the stairs add character for sure and I loved them. But having just recovered from a serious leg injury, I was thinking how there’s now way I could have safely done it a year ago. Narrow, turning stairs, yes. But just the cobble stones and walkways back in the closes can be quite tricky, especially when wet. So just fyi!

loved the room the location the cleanliness of the room

nothing there was even a welcome gift. i loved everything

Our stay at this place was absolutely fantastic! The location was perfect, with easy access to all the major attractions, yet it was peaceful and quiet at night. The space was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We especially loved the thoughtful touches like coffee and snacks. We would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the area and would definitely stay here again!

However, we did notice that the electric kettle wasn’t working properly, which was a bit inconvenient. That said, everything else was great, and we’re sure this is an easy fix for the host. Overall, we’d still recommend this place for its comfort and charm!

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!

I liked everything really, and the accommodation did its job, but sharing some things that could be improved if possible: 1) the mini fridge didn't keep things cold. I bought milk to have with tea and I had to throw it away because it went off because of the fridge. 2) It would be great if a full lenght mirror could be attached to the wall. 3) Pressure is not super great in the shower so washing my hair was a bit of a chore. These are minor things really. I would still come back!

It was a good price so close to the castle. We enjoyed its location and warmth and the fact it was a bit quirky. Some might find the staircase a challenge but you do mention that in description and was part of its character for us.

There were noise issues! - not enough to spoil our stay but we could hear thumping footsteps above at 03:00 in morning and the TV and talking clearly from next door room until around 11:00pm - I didn’t call the owners as I assumed there was/is very little they can do with the basic structure of the building. Something I was a little surprised about was the toilet seat which is past it’s best.

Very central property. A few minutes walk from every places of interest in Edinburgh. Very nice cozy room, charming and comfortable, what you would expect from an old building of this style. We enjoyed the little attention with the cookies’ box and the possibility to have tea or coffee. Julia was very helpful with any requests we had. Self check in was quite easy with the instructions provided in advance.

As expected with a very central location and an old building, it gets very noisy. It felt like the people having drinks down in the courtyard below the rooms were in the room with us. If you are not on the last floor and you have heavy footed upstairs neighbors, it can get very loud and noisy when they are walking around. Also we could feel cold air coming through the windows and the second blanket was very welcomed. The hangers are also very noisy as made of heavy metal and banging against each other. This does not affect the charm of the property itself but one must be prepared for potential short nights if not a heavy sleeper.

The communication from the staff via email and text was exceptional we asked for the room to be ready a little earlier and they made sure this was done in time! They also allowed us to store our luggage whilst we explored the city before check in and after check out! Location was amazing literally on the door step of the royal mile surrounded by so many historical buildings, shops, food places and more! We stayed in the Dundas, The room was so cosy and very clean, comfy bed, nice big window for lots of light, a tea and coffee station with a little welcome box full of biscuits which was a lovely touch!

Nothing! I can see why the spiral staircase may be a problem for those with mobility issues but this is clearly stated when booking and for us it wasn’t an issue!

An excellent location! Very quirky place, especially with the visible stone walls inside the room. It was very quiet at night too-we had a sound sleep. A warm, cosy comfortable room and bed. As we arrived late morning, I contacted the host as regards somewhere to leave our bags and we were granted an early check-in with no extra charge. We had a late evening flight home and again, we were quickly accommodated with storage provision, which was much appreciated.

Additional towels needed, which I requested but didn’t receive. It may be an idea to leave extra towels in the room from the outset.

I loved the history and character of the property in the heart of old town. The property is steeped in history with useful information from the owners. Although an old building the room was a good size for 2 adults. A lovely welcome basket of biscuits & plenty tea & coffee. A fridge , wine glasses & corkscrew. The room was cosy with old fireplace & original stonewall. Sash Windows look on to courtyard. Great shower .The room was really cosy in cold weather. We were on 3 rd floor access via old winding staircase, in character of historic building. Really good communication from property owners. Loved my stay and would return

Nothing. Was perfect for my stay. Clear info on booking regarding old property with winding staircase so not suitable for anyone with mobility issues. Excellent for access to the castle, grassmarket, and all activities in old town.

I loved my stay! The bedroom, the bathroom... everything was perfectly clean, it looked like it did in the pictures. There was a little present as well which I thought was so sweet! Self-check in was super easy. The location is amazing, you're in the middle of the Old Town and everything from the location that I wanted to explore was walking distance. Plus it's very easy to get there from the airport. All in all I had an amazing stay and would definitely stay there again. Absolutely recommend!

Nothing I didn't like.
