So sad that it was only two nights - we would have preferred to stay a whole week. The perfect apartment!

Beautiful, thoughtful, comfortable; the best of the best

Everything, I took my mum here as a special treat and she was amazed by the visual appearance of this accommodation. The location is brilliant, the facilities are wonderful, and extremely high quality - even the tea bags were fancy. Very importantly, it was extremely clean too. Very happy, feel like it couldn’t be improved upon.

  • The only thing I’d say (and this is perhaps because I was being silly) is that the entry door isn’t super obvious. The instructions said it was the door on the right, and when I opened the door initially, I just saw the garden - so assumed this wasn’t the right way. A sign inside this area pointing towards the rooms direction may help, but maybe I was just being daft in my panic!

Very nice apartment, quality equipment, top bedding. Not too noisy at night, less so during the day. Well located to explore Edinburgh with paid parking nearby.

  • It was a little confusing to find at first and our cab driver from the train station was baffled. For directions (walking and Uber) we found entering The Queen's Gallery was best.

Perfect getaway, so close to the Palace. Loved the history of the place, beautifully done inside!

Location was perfect. We were there for the Royal Garden Party, and couldn’t be any closer to the Royal Palace and grounds.
