About this property

2 Bedroom 2 Bathroom Old Town Royal Mile by Edinburgh Castle

Fabulous 2 bedroom apartment, completely renovated, in the very best location beside Edinburgh Castle. Views onto Royal Mile. Every modern convenience. Designer fabrics, wallpapers, free wifi, internet tv, underfloor heating. Extremely comfortable. Quiet Bedrooms, Double glazing.

Situated in the historic Old Town of Edinburgh, this is the best place to stay in the city. The Old Town is a World Heritage site. Steeped in history, packed with museums, visitor attractions, specialty shops, restaurants and pubs. Edinburgh castle is 1 minute walk from your front door. This area of the city has a real buzz and is a joy to explore. This apartment is however in a peaceful location late at night with no nightclubs or noisy pubs. This a great place to stay anytime but a prime location during the Edinburgh Festival/Fringe or at New Year.

Wonderful stay!

Our family thoroughly enjoyed the apartment- prime location directly on the Royal Mile, easy access to many major attractions, spacious layout, and responsive host. The entry stairs are an adventure but easy to manage for those without mobility issues. Highly recommend!

It was a fantastic location to stay for the Edinburgh festival. The check in process was easy. The apartment was clean and tidy. The living/kitchen area was great to relax at the end of the day. The only tricky bit is the spiral staircase which did not have a hand rail all the way to the top.

Rent this for the location

The location was perfect, right on the Royal mile a block from the castle entrance. Comments from others about the stairway are true; if you have a full sized suitcase or physical challenges don’t rent this one, go for the first floor.

This apartment was very much in keeping with the Old Town Edinburgh atmosphere. It gave us easy access to all of the sights we wanted to see. Our youngest family member was sure we had arrived in Hogwarts as we went up the winding staircase for the first time!

Wow!

Stayed with family (all adults) and we couldn’t believe how close we were to the castle and that we looked out over the Royal Mile. Location was perfect, check in instructions top notch. And accommodations were perfect for our needs. The stairs were a slight problem for my mom (age 78) which meant up once and down once each day. Love our visit, can’t wait to return.

Perfect location. Finding it is like a quest

Perfect location just steps from the castle on the Royal Mile. Plenty of pubs and restaurants within feet of entrance. Finding the place and the 3 flight spiral staircase is challenging with luggage. Well appointed. Very nice bathrooms.

Short break in Edinburgh

Perfect location in Lawnmarket: close to all the sites! Walking distance from the station too. Good for two couples, with two beds and baths. Really needed some more cutlery and mugs…but that’s the only thing really!

Absolutely great location! We (family of 10 - ages from 8 to 78) stayed in two sister locations on the Royal Mile and couldn’t have been more happy. Both locations were clean and consistent with descriptions and we enjoyed our trip to Edinburgh. We’re pretty low key and didn’t have any special issues but felt confident if we did, the owners would have been responsive based on the registration experience. Thanks so much!

Great location. Did not need a car, walked everywhere. Breakfast recommendation by host was wonderful. We were warned of the narrow curved stairway leading to the apartment which was a little difficult to maneuver with luggage but we managed. Would recommend.

Royal Mile Gem

We wanted to stay very close to the Royal Mile and Edinburgh Castle. This was the perfect location. Everything was within walking distance. A little exercise getting up the stairs to the third floor apartment, but the location made it worthwhile. The apartment had everything we needed to enjoy our stay in Edinburgh.
