The staff was amazing. Barely had to ask for anything because they volunteered to do everything before we even asked. Concierge hooked us up with tickets to the Castle and Real Mary King’s Close even though they were sold out on every site I looked at. On site restaurant was great, and host sat us right away even though there was a 45 minute wait for people not staying at the hotel.

Lovely and amazing that a place of such natural beauty is part of the city! We walked up the back nr Holyrood and down the front along the road. It was extremely windy on the top, and we made the decision not to venture beyond the rock we were sheltering behind, be very aware that conditions at the top are different to the bottom and keep a good lookout for weather coming across. The next day the top was shrouded in low cloud. It was an easy enough walk wearing trainers with a little scramble on the last few metres of rock. There were lots of runners up there too.

Steep climb and loose stones on paths, but amazing views of the whole city, surroundings, Firth of Forth... If you don't want to climb to the top you can always settle for a more comfortable stroll around this fabulous gem of a mountain! The road goes all the way around, and provides lovely views too.

Peace and quiet place. Very near to the Arthur’s Seat. Its not so far from the city center, but if you’re looking for a walking distance its about 25 minutes away. Good place, recommend.
Spacious with good kitchen facilities. Great location near to Arthur’s Seat and a short walk to the Royal Mile. Comfortable and cosy. Responsive staff. Would definitely recommend, particularly for the Fringe as the distance from town was perfect :)
The location (proximity to Arthur’s seat), the greenery space around the hotel, the whiskey rooms (afternoon tea rooms), the peacock and the highland cows.
The staff were professional but some were not too friendly.
Prime location, a few steps away from the Royal Mile and Cowgate. The place itself is squeaky clean, very well decorated, has all the appliances and comfort you’d want. Set in a very calm apartment complex as well, with a nice view upon Arthur’s Seat out the back. A pleasant stay, highly recommend!
We, as a family of 4 liked that the property was inexpensive. We each received a towel and the amenities (shampoo, body wash, coffee, milk) were easily accessible). Big perk that it is near the hike, Arthur’s Seat. Loved that the rooms we booked had ensuites. Very handy that there is a communal living space, so we could watch the Olympics!
The apartment location is wonderfully located with cozy coffee shops located down the road. There is also a Sainsbury and costa near by and a lovely view of Arthur’s seat.
