Edinburgh Castle Suite @ The Old Town

If you're seeking an exceptional stay in Edinburgh, look no further than this second-floor gem! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with unparalleled hospitality. Ivan and Eddie, in particular, went above and beyond, exemplifying what true concierge service is all about. Their professionalism and excellent communication skills ensured that every aspect of my stay was flawless. The property itself is a dream come true. It’s spacious and conveniently located, with only 50 stairs to climb—easy to manage and totally worth it for the breathtaking view of Edinburgh Castle from the window. The surroundings are equally impressive: nestled close to a plethora of restaurants, historical sites, and beautiful parks, you'll find everything you need just a short walk away. But perhaps the most memorable part of my stay was the warmth of the Edinburgh locals. The city’s friendly atmosphere only added to the charm of this wonderful accommodation. If you’re in search of a comfortable, well-situated property with exceptional service, this is the place for you. You won’t be disappointed!

This is a perfect example of the grand Edinburgh apartment! It's got views of the castle, lovely spacious and nicely decorated rooms, it's right in the middle of town and yet is still nice and quiet. Two of the bedrooms are en-suite which isn't always a given with properties of this age. The location is great, everything's walkable and since basically every bus route in Edinburgh goes through nearby Princes St it's easy to get onto public transport as well. The hosts are very proactive with their instructions and we got in & out no problem. The flat is very clean and well stocked with everything we needed. Yes it's up a couple of flights of stairs but very manageable and Edinburgh doesn't do period properties with lifts. Definitely recommend, we'd go back again.

Just what we needed
We stayed in this lovely flat as a family of 6. The location of the apartment is not far from the Royal Mile and has stunning castle views. There is just a quick walk to coffee, some bars/restaurants and the hop on/hop off bus line. Additionally, the location is perfect for those visiting the Tattoo. We enjoyed a seamless process with luggage via unbagged, a third party service, as we arrived well before the check in time. The service allowed us to tour the city and meet up with luggage early that evening. The apartment was clean and the listing was as expected, tastefully decorated and comfortable.

This was a uniquely wonderful place to stay. With unrivalled views of the castle and absolutely beautiful rooms, this place fully lived up to all our expectations from the photographs. The beds were thoroughly comfortable, every room was clean and tidy, and we didn't hear the slightest sound from outside. This location is quite walkable with shops and restaurants nearby, and the castle itself well within walking distance. The stairs are no joke when arriving with suitcases or after a long day in Edinburgh, but as long as you know what you're getting into they're perfectly manageable. Note there are no USB ports in bedrooms (but there are of course plug sockets) so coming prepared with USB chargers is essential for devices.

Great beautiful location in Edinburgh. The washer did not work, but we were notified right before arrival. The listing is extremely spacious for a family of 4!

What a gem of a place! First, the views of the castle were priceless. We are first timers here in Edinburgh so we were dazzled. We couldn’t believe our eyes! The flat itself is incredibly spacious, designed beautifully, appointed with everything you’d need and so very comfortable. It’s perfect for 3 couples or a family with its 3 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms. We couldn’t believe the kitchen size and appointments. So great! Second, the location is incredible! You can get to the castle or Princes street in minutes. Central, easy and convenient to everything. Finally, to me, what makes a good AB&B is the hosts or property managers. Daisy and her team were so lovely to work with! Quickly questioned answers and plenty of resources if we needed anything (which we didn’t because everything was great!). Thanks to you all! We will be back!

Although the place is older, that is why I selected it. It had great charm. A few blocks’ walk to Edinburgh Castle, or a few blocks to the trams. We felt safe and enjoyed the walking (although the route we took had a slight incline). Not many restaurants around, but it is right around the corner from Dean Village. My daughter loved the little curtained snook area upstairs and slept there one night.

Great Stay
Great location and property. Saturday Farmer’s Market just across the street! My only suggestion for improvement - as a premium/luxury priced property, I would expect a nice selection of shampoo, soaps, etc. however none were provided. In addition similarly priced properties will typically include a small welcome basket, bottle of wine or similar. Not necessary or a deal breaker but a nice touch and competitive properties are doing this. Overall, a great property and would gladly recommend.

We have stayed in some amazing Airbnb locations all over the world and this is definitely one of my favorites! The apartment is very spacious for a family and was decorated beautifully. If we are ever back in town, we will definitely book it again!

A family of six, we just had the most magical and memorable time staying here. Wonderful views in all of the big tall windows, especially of the Castle. Impeccably clean and great bathrooms. The location was quiet and a perfect distance away from everything. Bus stops right outside if needed, two train stations a quick cab ride away with luggage (Waverly or Haymarket) tons of grocery shops nearby. A cafe and two pubs literally 60 second walk around the corner, alongsideamazing Thai place, loaded fry place etc everything you could need! Only suggestion is to make sure you bring your own soaps and shampoos for the bathrooms.

Amazing Airbnb. Wonderful location. Well appointed and decorated. Beds were all comfortable. Lots of space. Everything we needed. One of our favorites!

We were very happy with this choice for our family. It worked very well and we were relieved that cot and high chair were both ready and waiting for us when we got there. We arrived in the middle of the night and entering was smooth and easy. Kitchen was fully equipped with nice appliances and all in all it was perfect!

Spacious, grand flat in the heart of Edinburgh. Great local restaurants and coffee shops a few minutes walking, and 10 min walk to the Royal Mile. Views of the castle are stunning as described. Communication with property managers was very good and helpful. Highly recommended!

One of the best Airbnbs I've had the pleasure of staying in. Will definitely be returning! Thank you for hosting us! Everyone was amazed at how nicely you have decorated and
furnished the rooms (I understand the 30s policy) and the location is probably the best in Edinburgh.

"If I could write this higher, I would! The design of the apartment was unbelievable!"

The decor , design details & location were perfect ! Spotlessly clean- everything you could possibly need was provided. Each bedroom had its own bathroom. Remember - that it is on the third floor and there is no lift, the spiral staircase can be a little bit tricky, but it is well worth the trouble. The location is absolutely perfect – the view of the castle from the master bedroom and the living area is unbelievable. This location is perfect to walk to every part of the city. I would love to live here - in this apartment!
