Overall would recommend this accommodation for a stay in Edinburgh as it was close to attractions, transport and places

Location was fabulous

small things like the fridge really could have done with a handle as there was no indication in which direction to pull the door open and it really was a challenge to put finger in the top to pull it open. The floor had been sprayed with something at the entry way and it was so slippery I almost fell. Had to put a towel in place to prevent further slips.

9.0 / 10.0

Excellent for a short stay in the city

The castle view room double was great. The view was excellent! We were only up one flight so the stairs were not an issue. The bed closed off with sliding doors, so the early bird did not disturb whoever slept in. The room was clean and comfortable.

No lift and having to carry bags up 4 flights of stairs lol

Well equipped very central apartment - like a big hotel room with added extras

Very easy to get code

No leeway at all on entry - even by 15 minutes - which would have been helpful tbh. Office where you can leave luggage is a long way from apartment

9.0 / 10.0

We had a great stay in Edinburgh, the apartment was central to many activities.

Location was perfect, we were able to walk to many of the activities in the area. The view was awesome with Edinburgh Castleright across the street. The apartment was very clean.

We had to climb 2 flights of stairs even though we had a first floor apartment. No elevators in the building. Beds were not comfortable, need to be updated to higher end mattress. Lastly the bath tubs were extremely slippery when wet. We had to be very careful not to fall while taking showers. Perhaps invest in some non-skid bath mats for the tub. Also no wash cloths were provided.

Apart from stairs great.

Location. Apartment itself very comfortable. Bathroom amazing.

Top floor with no lift. Absolute chore getting luggage to the top. You need a strong bodied man to carry it all… and even then it’s not easy.

10.0 / 10.0

Definitely worth the money for the location and the view.

The property is in a fantastic location, close to the Monument and Old Town—everything is just around the corner. The view of the castle from the property was amazing, and overall, we had a great stay.

The apartment is on the fourth floor with no lift, so be prepared to carry your luggage all the way up. It can be a bit tiring, especially with heavy bags.

Wonderful apartment in a very central location with a view overlooking Edinburgh Castle. Two spacious rooms and a nice living room with a kitchen made our stay very nice!

Fantastic view, close to everything in both New and Old Town

Superb location and view of the castle, easy walking to Royal Mile and attractions. Great size apt, well equipped kitchen. Comfortable bed and pillows.

It was complicated to turn the cooktop on and then the front right one did not work at all. When I stacked the dishwasher after our first meal the large plates did not fit in the lower basket so I had to half empty it and then discovered that the plug in the kitchen sink does not seal.

Great location, comfy beds and everything we needed to enjoy our stay in Edinburgh.

Having read the reviews knew to look for an entrance that wasn't huge. Basically a door between the Tesco Express (really handy for essentials) and the next property up. Easy instructions as to how to get into the property and the app was definitely worth downloading with all the info on it. We were on the 1st floor with great views of the castle but glad we only had to climb that one flight of stairs after a day of walking round Edinburgh. Couldn't have asked for a better location with Princes Street Gardens across the road and the castle and Haymarket within easy walking distance. Plenty of places to eat nearby. If you're staying on a Saturday morning make sure you visit the Farmers Market behind the castle, next to the NCP car park as they had some amazing food stalls but get there early as it was selling fast even at 9.30am.

There were a couple of small things - the property next door was being refurbished and the workmen were re-felting a roof next to our bedrooms so there was quite a bit of noise first thing but it helped to wake us up for the day and when we came back to the apartment on the final night we no longer had a view of the castle as scaffolding had been erected around the doorway and covered our windows. Luckily we'd had 2 nights of great views already.

9.0 / 10.0

Equipment instructions in this wonderfully located flat would have made it 100% perfect!

The location could not be better, with views of the castle, to boot. Princes St is the main shopping thoroughfare so it was really central and we were able to walk everywhere - to the castle, galleries, Holyrood. But had we wanted it there were trams and buses outside our door and behind us were the lovely Georgian squares of Newtown, with the river Leith walks 5 minutes walk away. We walked with 2 big suitcases 10 minutes from the station straight along Princes St to the apartment - so easy. Our return journey required us to just cross the road to an AirPort Express bus stop!! The apartment was tastefully decorated and had everything we needed. We cooked for ourselves and we had a Tesco supermarket downstairs!

There are no instructions as to how to use the washing machine/tumble dryer/dishwasher - so any environmental impact claims for the property disappear as we didn’t know how to put on a light load etc. Furthermore I wasted about 2 hours trying to get the dryer to work without putting the clothes through another wash. It required a combination of switches and the drying dial. When I contacted Destiny Scotland, - the property managers - they were very quick to respond but asked me if I had looked at the ‘drying dial’ which of course I had, but which did not work alone. They also sent in a maintenance person whilst we were out but a simple set of instructions in the flat for the lovely equipment would have saved us all time.

7.0 / 10.0

Central location, but noisy and overpriced

The overall location was good, very central for getting around. Inside the unit was spacious with good cooking facilities.

The actual building was super scruffy and nestled between McDonalds and other fast food restaurants so the doorway was constantly blocked by Uber Eats drivers sitting with their bikes, which made it difficult to get in with luggage. Later in the evening the doorway became somewhere for homeless and drunk people to sit. We didn’t feel unsafe it just wasn’t what we expected for the price. It was also super noisy all night with the tram and drunk people standing outside shouting.

Bad experience

The place is beautiful, but the attitude of Joanna and the other girl at the office was terrible.

One of the worst experiences. The place is beautiful, but the attitude of Joanna and the other girl at the office was terrible. I demand that Booking.com remove this property from their platform, as it is managed by irresponsible individuals. £15 was charged to my card despite no extra bed being provided. After calling them, they confirmed that no amount would be charged, yet after checking out, the amount was deducted.

Great location and very roomy

We had a lot of room, kitchen was well stocked. Very clean, big bathroom. Location had a grocery store and bank right next door. We loved Rose Street just one block away with numerous bars and restaurants. Easy to get to from airport.

No elevator but it was ok for us, we only had couple of suitcases. I think a couple of luggage racks would be nice.

10.0 / 10.0

Perfect location and very comfortable.

Fantastic location and views of the Castle. It was clean and spacious completed with high end furnishings and equipment. Close to transport routes, perfect as a base for exploring the city and relaxing after a long day of walking. We stayed in room 1 on the first floor. The staff were very quick to respond to any questions or concerns.

Can be a bit noisy as on a Main Street but I live on a main road at home so it didn’t bother me.

Fantastic location and spacious apartment, which was a great home base for exploring Edinburgh.

Fabulous location with storybook castle views (from the living room and guest bedroom). Well equipped kitchen and very easy access with passcode.

Master bathroom has no mirror in it, which was very odd. Ended up buying one at Boots.

140 Princes Street, great place to stay

140 Princes Street is a great location. The flat, 2a, was nicely decorated and clean, especially the bathroom and kitchen (which we always look for) Comfy beds. TVs in all rooms had ability to watch all apps (Netflix, Prime, Now) if you have those subscriptions, otherwise the Freesat service is equally as good. Great range of eateries on the doorstep, (Ask, West End Brasserie, Huxley's right outside the door and others just five mins away) Direct buses to Royal Yacht Britannia and Zoo and Murrayfield stadium and trams to the airport if needed. Top tip, don't use the open top tours for £15 per person. Edinburgh is too small. Get a Lothian buses family ticket for £11 (covers 2 adults and upto 3 kids) and hop on and off the local buses all day and see the city that way. They're spotlessly clean as well.

Nothing to dislike. The place and location were perfect for our needs
