Most of Edinburgh’s major tourist attractions are located within a mile of the property and attractions on the Royal mile include the Canongate Kirk, The Museum of Edinburgh, St Giles Cathedral, The Scottish Whiskey Museum, the Camera Obscura and Edinburgh Castle.

Home was in a great location and well within walking distance to the train station, bus station, and the rest of the core region of Edinburgh. Since its at the end of the royal mile, there's considerably less foot traffic, but if you are sensitive to road noise you may not like staying here as its right at the end of a busy roundabout. Its light and roomy and the kitchen is a really nice bonus. The only cons about this home were the bed and bathroom amentities. The mattress was extremely firm and only one piece of bedding is provided. If you’re exhausted after a long day of touring it wont matter much, but don't expect to nestle into a cozy and cushy bed. The pillows were also the cheap and hard fiberfill kind that are thin and flat. Also bring your own shower supplies as this flat does not provide their own (aside from a shampoo/shower gel combo I found a few days into the stay). I was disappointed that after 24 hours of traveling I still had to go out and buy my own shampoo, conditioner, and soap (which I left behind for the next guests) before settling in for the night. Overall I'd stay at this flat again and would recommend it to others looking to stay in the area.

6 / 10Average·Jul 2025
I don’t like leaving negative reviews so I’ll start with the positives:Unbeatable location at the bottom of the Royal Mile Well equipped kitchen Good supply of essentials like coffee and toilet rollGreat WiFiNegatives:The traffic noise is the big one. I had to buy earplugs to sleep after being woken at 5am the first morning. The lock on the front door was a bit flimsy. I didn’t feel comfortable leaving valuables in the flat. Saying that I was there for 10 days and had no issues with security. No washing machine although that was made clear in the listing. The nearest laundry is a 20 minute walk away minimum. There is a lovely jacuzzi bath but the plug didn’t work so I couldn’t use. I admit I didn’t report this and it may have been fixed immediately if I had done. This place has a lot of good reviews and lots of lovely comments in the guest book so it was maybe just me. I live in a very quiet place and have very good hearing so maybe the noise bothered me more than most people.
