I visited with my mom and we loved this hotel and everything about it. Exceptional hotel for a short trip, overly friendly, helpful, kind and sweet personnel, absolutely perfect location, delicious food. And to top it all, we brought a warm and sunny weather with us from Slovakia, so we truly had an amazing stay.

Fully equiped kitchen, with a Sainsbury's supermarket just around the corner and 10 minutes walk from the royal mile (main tourist street). Very quiet road and no complicated check in or check out, super straight forward, only 30 min from the airport with a tram and bus stop just around the corner. I feel so lucky to have found this place, it is the kind of place you recommend to friends and family. LOVED IT!

    Big apartment for what we paid, amenities where good and as we went in February it was cold but the heating was really good and the room heated really quickly. Good location but as close to dean village haymarket but half an hour from the Royal Mile which we didn't mind.

    I liked the location. It was right off the airport tram stop, making it very easy for a non-seasoned traveler. It was about a 15 min walk to EVERYTHING. The castle, the royal mile, Dean Village, and Stockton.The kitchen was delightful with everything needed to cook meals. I appreciated all the caffeine options - much needed when I had jet lag. The bathroom was clean and bright. The shower and linens were devine. I did some birdwatching in the courtyard, which was equipped with picnic benches and had access to Queen's Street Gardens.

    The location was really the best point about it. Even if you choose princes street and the way to Scots monument or if you choose victoria street and the royal mile, the hotel is positioned in an ideal place. Even dean village is nearby, plus the line from and to the airport passes right outside the hotel. Supermarket and many pubs and restaurants nearby as well. The staff was friendly and they let us store our luggages on the day of our checkout, for us to pick them up later when we were leaving.
