This place was amazing! We loved the location close to the palace and walking distance to park (Arthur’s seat). My family and I truly enjoyed the location and amenities.

This apartment was beautiful, location superb.
The decoration of a very high standard like a luxury hotel. The 2 bedrooms and bathrooms absolutely stunning!
We loved this beautiful apartment and wished it had not been a flying visit!
The cleanliness is immaculate and the overall feel is very warm and inviting!
We will return one day’ if you want a location with views and just off the Royal Mile this is wonderfully place!
Beautiful, highly recommended

Very comfortable apartment with well done amenities. Spotless. Would definitely stay there again. Right next to Holyrood House, Parliament and Dynamic Earth. Less conveniently located for other areas although the #35 bus is steps away.

The property was so beautiful, both inside and in the surrounding gardens, landscape and nearby buildings. The location was fantastic. The washer / dryer was a welcome amenity.
The only issue I had was when some unruly (possible?) guests were unable to get the single front door to work at about 4:30 in the morning and woke us up with their screaming and excessive and aggressive pounding on the door. A call to the hotel help line did not resolve the issue, as someone was sent to the property, and was unable to open the door from the outside. When we called back to the hotel, we were asked to open the door. This was very disruptive to our ability to sleep, as we were already tired from travelling multiple time zones. We received no acknowledgement or even thanks from the hotel for helping out with a situation that was not of our doing, in the middle of the night. I expected more from a property of this caliber.

Incredibly comfortable and luxurious with meticulous attention to detail and conscious efforts made to supply local products.
The location is ideal for city access yet safe and quiet in the grounds of Holyrood Palace.
The facilities were high tech and without a user manual which meant we struggled to use the oven and had no heating all week…

The location was beautiful, it’s right next to the palace. The apartment was so beautiful and well decorated. My children loved reading in the window seats. It was an excellent apartment with an excellent location. The communication was also really great. We received the code to enter early and they also helped with recommending a taxi service to the airport.

Great location, right at the end of the Royal Mile so you're close to everything but still in a quiet little spot. Beautiful garden and view of the crag overlooking the city. Very well appointed apartments, very clean. Overall our favourite place to stay while on our trip to the UK.

The apartment was beautiful!! Clean, decorated lovely and functional.
The bathrobes provided were an extra nice.
The location was just perfect.
We went to breakfast about a quarter of a mile away.
Quiet, tucked away by the Holyrood house gardens, it was the perfect place to stay.

Highly recommend this property. Has the best of both a hotel and a apartment (still had somewhere to store luggage when we check out, umbrellas, lobby to wait for taxis). Great staff (Peter), couldn't be more helpful!

Location was absolutely incredible. Very comfortable and clean. Everymorning woke up overlooking Holyrood House. Stunning. Only problem was the 3 flights if spiral staircase that's one had to maneuver up and eventually down with larger suitcases. We were traveling for 15 days. Beyond that wonderful
