9/10 Wonderful! (805 reviews)
Unfortunately our stay in this property wasn’t what we expected. The kitchen cupboards were dirty including some of the provided dishes and the washer/dryer didn’t work. We also had an issue with the shower where the hot water stopped working, although they were quick to fix this for us. Overall it was a good location but I won’t be back.

What a lovely find! Beautiful apartment and view. It’s almost too good to share but holding back would be selfish. Staff excellent and welcoming. Brilliant stay!

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveller

Generally I would avoid. Very busy (it was Christmas!!) and shops average. I would suggest access to Jenners/ and S etc from Rose street

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveller

The bars/pubs along Princes' Street were fantastic and a very easy walk from the apartment

4/5 - Good

Verified traveller

Standard city-centre High Street shopping.

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveller

Princes Street is always busy so aim for first thing or last thing if you want to avoid the crowds. Or go straight for George Street where the shops are much nicer!

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveller

We visited the Christmas market - it was amazing and we would absolutely recommend it
