The only downside was the karaoke bar across the road. So struggled to get to sleep on the first night

The decor and room were fab, it was lovely and clean. The location was fab as well as it was easy to walk everywhere.

Nothing. I would love to stay again!

Good location, just next to Grassmarket. Many restaurants in the vicinity. Major attractions within walking distance. The apartment is clean, spacious and tastefully furnished. Bed and pillows are comfortable.

Just a small think. There is no light in the hallway. Between the bathroom and the bedroom. In addition, the shower door wasn't closing properly and there was water on the floor after taking a shower. But this is easy to fix. Apart from that, 10/10!

It was the first time to stay in the Greyfriars. Amazing location. There is no better location to stay in Edinburgh I think. We were really lucky to book it. The room was super clean and tidy. When we entered the apartment we expected to be really noisy during the night because it is literally on the central square of the old town. However it was good. We didn't have any problems sleeping at night.

The street noise is the only downside if you are a light sleeper. Only between the hours of midnight to 2am, after that it dies down.

Lovely studio design, had everything we needed. Appreciated the snacks that the hosts left for us. Clear communication.

There is nothing I could think of not to like. The apartment and location itself it perfect.

We booked for 6 days, 5 nights, stay in this studio apartment, and we love it so much!! Studio apartment We love how this apartment came with a little kitchen that we use quite often. The toilet is quite huge and it's clean too. Host also provided us with towels and other necessities for our stay. It was also beautifully decorated, I love how this apartment is located on the ground floor, I do enjoy looking at the people as they walked by the apartment. So it wasn't a problem for us. Location The location was so perfect that you could just walk about a minute, and you would reach Victoria Street, where the famous Harry Potter store is at. Edinburgh castle was just less than 10 minutes walk from the studio. You can even walk to the museum too, which also takes just about 10 minutes. Restaurant & stores There are plenty of convenient store/mini supermarkets and restaurants in the area itself. There are even a few souvenirs stores too! There's also a halal restaurant just down the street overlooking the Edinburgh castle. You'll be spoilt for choices. Overall, my husband and I enjoyed our stay! I would love to stay here again when we make a trip back to Edinburgh in the future. It was a beautiful stay and trip for us.

There wasn’t a lot of photos on the page before I booked but it sounded nice so I took a chance and glad I did it was really nice.

Centrally located and very nice

Fabulous location at the heart of everything.

Excellent location. Easy access to central edinburgh and the castle. Ground level so great if you have big bags. Just to note, this location is central in a busy city, and with that comes some street noise as to be expected. This accommodation is great for couples or solo travelers.

Lovely little studio apartment, extremely tidy and spotlessly clean. Perfect location in the heart of Edinburgh.

Needs a luggage rack or some kind of bench to put luggage or set things on. Also very loud at night on the weekends. Be prepared for that.

Such close walking distance to anywhere

After 11pm to about 2pm it is noise with people walking past.

The flat was lovely with all the nice touches that make it feel special.

Great location, comfortable bed, super facilities.

Stayed in September 2023

Noise levels from the street and inner building are a major problem. Some facilities listed weren't actually available (Coffee house on-site & SatelliteTV Channels). Both a frustration/disappointment rather than an issue.

Superb location in the City and accommodation was beautiful, stylish and very comfortable. Located in the Old part of town this base is perfectly positioned to explore the very best that Edinburgh has to offer. Loved it - thanks.

Great location, a nicely sized apartment, and actually very quiet considering its on street location. Would definitely recommend!

Stayed in July 2023

The only small note for the owners is I think the bathroom fan needs checking.

It was well equipped, very clean and in a central location. The hosts have thought of everything one might need. We also thought that despite some of the reviews mentioning street noise, it was incredibly well sound-proofed from the street and we slept really well. Yes there is some noise but isn’t that the pay-off for staying somewhere so central? Lovely comfy bed.

Stayed in August 2023

Very noisy. They have done everything possible to curb noise but still noisy all night.

The area was great. Close to everything. Grass market, castle and royal mile.

The washing machine/dryer needs to come with a manual for those who don't have this style of machine. The main light didn't work. Check out was 10am, however as we were walking out at 9.30am. someone was coming through the entryway and asked for the keys as I was putting them back into the keysafe. I asked if they owned the property and they said they did so I gave them the keys as we had a cab to catch. This person could have been anyone; they really needed to come after checkout time as I was concerned for a time that I gave the keys to a burglar and the owners were going to blame me for any damage caused

What a gorgeous little apartment!!! Greyfriars was perfect for our needs and so close to Edinburgh Old Town. There is a convenience store across the road for items with plenty of pubs and cafes nearby. You can see Edinburgh Castle from the footpath outside and windows are double glazed to block out the majority of noise and earplugs are available. Welcome basket on arrival was very welcome and room comes with all the modern conveniences. Thank you!

Stayed in May 2023

I know they provide ear plugs but as it was a Tuesday night we didn't expect to need them, the issue wasn't outside, it was inside, doors slamming, creaky floors, knocky plumbing, by night 2 we were all the wiser and had a better sleep. Can you PLEASE clarify check out time, every sign says 11am but this morning the cleaner walked in at 10 without knocking and caught my husband in his boxers and he was absolutely mortified so we left in an embarrassed rush.

Great Location, easy to get to, lots of fun things to do around, 5 min walk if that to the mile, easy access to the castle. Inside, small space but really well equipped, nice industrial looking focal points in the room, really good use of space, very light and airy.
