Wilde Aparthotels by Staycity, Grassmarket is located at the foot of Edinburgh Castle, within easy reach of the famous Royal Mile and many of the main attractions of the city.

Each apartment has design features such as natural timber flooring, bespoke joinery, crafts, artwork and soft furnishings. The Wilde style is standard in every room, including fully equipped kitchens and kitchenettes, modern technology, rainfall showers, Hypnos mattresses, as well as free spring water, Nespresso pods, Brew teabags, fresh milk, handmade sweets, olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

The staff were exceptional, super friendly and welcoming, shared some great advices what to see and visit during our stay and overall were very helpful as we arrived way earlier than check-in time. Thankfully we could leave our bags and go explore around. The location was perfect for a first time visit to Edinburgh, plenty of places around to eat or have a drink, though I must admit that the apartment was too cozy to leave for long. Our apartment was just like in the photos, very clean and stylish. The beds were super comfortable too.

    The host couldn’t have been more helpful. The house was quiet, the beds comfortable and Newington Place is a fine old house with the potential to be a brilliant holiday home. The wi fi is good and the little pool table provided lots of entertainment for children. Lots of bars, restaurants and cafes nearby.

    One of the best holiday homes we’ve stayed in, it was an absolutely beautiful house and very clean and homely. It also includes basically everything that you need and had a pizza stone that we used to make our own pizzas one of the nights, it was delicious. Our 4 year old son didn’t want to leave and has said he wants to go back again next year 🥰
