    Fantastic location right on the Royal Mile! 🎉 The room was comfortable, perfect for exploring the city. Just wish the noise from the street was less at night.

    charming room
    comfortable bed
    convenient kitchenette
    wifi issues
    poor signage
    steep stairs

    The location felt perfect, just a stone's throw from Edinburgh Castle. The charm of stepping into a historic building drew me in right away. My room had exposed stone walls, which added to the ambiance. The kitchenette turned out to be convenient for quick meals. it featured cookware and an electric kettle. I loved the comfortable bed, guaranteeing restful nights after exploring the city. the lack of signage made finding the entrance a bit challenging at first. I also faced wifi issues that weren't resolved promptly, which was frustrating. Though I appreciated the historical atmosphere, the stairs were quite steep, making it tough to haul luggage around. the unique character and central location outweighed the inconveniences.

    unique views
    historical architecture
    steep stairs

    Exceptional views of the ancient city from the Royal Mile View Studio Apartment Panmure. Unique historical architecture surrounding the building gives a sense of local culture, creating a memorable stay.

    The stairs leading to the apartment are narrow and steep, with half of the handrail missing, making access a bit tricky, especially with luggage. Internet connectivity was frustratingly inconsistent during my stay, often causing disruptions when trying to stay in touch. The lack of adequate signage for navigating the property added unnecessary stress upon arrival, though the proximity to local attractions somewhat compensated for this. Some of the furniture showed signs of wear, diminishing the otherwise charming atmosphere.

    no elevator

    Our stay in the Royal Mile View Suite was fantastic! The room was beautifully renovated, offering a comfortable bed and a cozy nook with an electric kettle for tea. The location couldn’t be better, as we were just a short walk from the castle and had easy access to bus tours right outside.

    The stairs were quite steep.

    Perfect spot for exploring!

    We spent 2 nights in this cozy flat and loved the views of the castle. It’s super close to all the cool spots along the Royal Mile. The bed was comfy, which was great after a long day. Just wish the Wi-Fi was faster. Found a nice cafe nearby for breakfast too!

    Sure it wasn't exactly cheap but you know what in this case it was reasonable

    Can't recommend highly enough for a mini-vacation

    Comfortable bed, convenient location, the flat-screen TV provided great entertainment options while the electric kettle made morning coffee effortless, and it was only a 10-minute walk from the train station.

    Everything is what I need and want.

    charming room
    modern bathroom
    cozy seating area
    tricky doorknob

    The room was charming, with a nice touch of biscuits waiting for us, and the clean, modern bathroom was a pleasant surprise. I loved relaxing in the cozy seating area after a day of exploring and found the terrace beautiful for morning coffee. The old bathroom doorknob was a bit tricky to use, so I’d suggest a quick fix there. 😊

    medieval architecture
    personal welcome gift

    Charming, Charming, Charming

    The medieval spiral staircase truly made me feel like I was stepping back in time, adding character to my stay. Waking up to views of the Royal Mile was absolutely mesmerizing, with the historic architecture right at my window! Plus, the thoughtful touch of Scottish shortbread cookies as a welcome gift felt so personal and cozy, making my experience feel extra special.

    Our stay was fantastic! The apartment was beautifully renovated with a cozy nook for tea, perfect after a long day exploring. The location was ideal, just a short stroll to many major attractions, including the castle. The only drawback was the steep stairs, which may not be suitable for everyone.
