No WIFI but apt is beautiful

We loved this apartment, but if WiFi is at all important to you, be warned that although it is billed as including WiFi, it only worked for us in the building lounge and not in our apartment at all. Beautiful building in beautiful location—nearest neighbor seemed to be the king? It’s right by the palace and across from the parliament building. Very quiet at night but it’s a walk to groceries. Housekeeping every day. Excellent bed but bed in fold out couch could have been better (but we have had worse). Check-in process was a little mysterious because our email with instructions didnt get send until very late morning that day and we had already left our previous accommodation and had no access to email
Patricia, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Yvette, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We thought the room was really amazing and in just about the best location you could imagine. We had a lot of trouble with instructions such as we received a map for parking and the map had nothing to do with where parking actually would be. We were told there was a common room where we could do laundry, but we never discovered where that common room might be so there were definitely some communications issues With a mysterious person who we would communicate with via messages . We ended up parking very expensively in one place the day we rented a car. We never got the laundry done.
Carolina K, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

Not great.

We never got a code to go in. We called the number and it took them 20 minutes to find a code that works. There was no air conditioning. The pull out couch didn’t fit in the room when opened. The hair dryer didn’t work well and the toilet kept running. I called to speaks to a manager but they never called me back.

Nice for families, very clean. Can park fairly close by at Dynamic Earth if renting a car.
Dana, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A little difficult to find/enter the place, but once we got in, it was very nice, and the service was excellent.
Cara, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Stunning.

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.

Nice clean apartment next door to Holyrood Palace

Nice apartment at the end of the Royal Mile next door to Holyrood Palace. Very clean and modern with a few caveats. 1) Check in instructions come an hour or so before the 3 pm check in. Email notes code to use to enter premises. There are two doors/gates from the street, and the code should work for both but ours only worked for the right door/gate which was the street entrance to the apt tower (walk down the little hallway tunnel then enter code again on the left at tower). The left door/gate is suppose to be the Lounge/laundry area that all guests can access but I was never able to check as our code didn’t work (I didn’t bother to ask for a new code as we had other issues to fix during our stay noted below). 2) Stairs and not accessible friendly. Just noting that the apartments are mostly in the tower which has a narrow winding staircase. 3) We stayed in Mrs Ludsmen and the one bedroom apt was very nice and clean. However pls note that the toilet was 100% not working (wouldn’t stop running and couldn’t flush until water ran its course which sometimes took a few hours). Other times, it worked fine for a few flushes then would start to run again. They did send someone out to check it out but I never received any info on the issue as we were out sightseeing. When we got back, it worked for 2 flushes and then it stopped working for a few hours. 4) If you need reliable WiFi, I would get your own or use your phone’s cell plan. The free WiFi barely worked no matter time of day.
