About this property

Royal Mile Old Town 2 bedroom 2 bathroom by Castle

  • Lovely 2 bedroom apartment, luxurious standard, in the very best Royal Mile location. Views onto Royal Mile. Every mod convenience. Designer fabrics, wallpapers, free wifi, internet tv, underfloor heating. Secure entry. Cosy & comfortable. 200 yards from Edinburgh Castle

    This apartment can accommodate a maximum of 6 persons. There are two bedrooms; 1 king size double en suite with TV, one twin/double (can be configured either way at guest request), Double sofa bed in livingroom, 2nd bathroom. Bedrooms are peaceful and quiet at night. Open plan fully equiped kitchen/dining/livingroom with 3 windows looking directly onto Royal Mile/Lawnmarket. All windows in the property are double glazed. Bathrooms have under floor heating. There is gas central heating and free wifi. The property retains great period features; old stone fireplaces, exposed ancient stone walls; and yet provides all modern conveniences and striking decoration.

    Situated in the historic Old Town of Edinburgh, this is the best place to stay in the city. The Old Town is a World Heritage site. Steeped in history, packed with museums, visitor attractions, specialty shops, restaurants and pubs. Edinburgh castle is 1 minute walk from your front door. This area of the city has a real buzz and is a joy to explore. This apartment is however in a peaceful location late at night with no nightclubs or noisy pubs. This a great place to stay anytime but a prime location during the Edinburgh Festival/Fringe or at New Year.

Excellent apartment, right on the Royal Mile

This is the perfect spot if you want to be in the action of the Royal Mile. Great pubs just downstairs. Beautiful view. Lovely late at night when the streets empty out a bit.

Edinburgh stay

A great location and a very nice apartment. We had a very nice stay. Wouldn’t recommend it for anyone with mobility issues as the stone stairs are quite steep and four flights. Would recommend it

Perfect location to explore Edinburgh

This apartment it self was absolutely perfect for us to be able to walk everywhere we hoped to go in 3 days. The only problem was navigating the stairs with suitcases. Paul was very accommodating and his Vrbo was immaculate, extremely comfortable and the view was amazing.

Ideal Edinburgh Kocation

We had an excellent time in Edinburgh. The location could not be better. It was in the heart of activity, close to the Castle, shopping and services on the Royal Mile. We were within walking distance of everything. The owners were on top of it. The home was well equipped, organized, clean and comfortable. It was a great vacation location for the entire family.

In Town for a Wedding

This property was perfect for our family of 4 in town for a wedding at Hopetoun House. I was initially concerned about potential noise from the street but it gets very quiet at night and it was quite peaceful. The apartment is lovely and updated. Thanks Paul for the early check in.

Senior Ladies’ trip

This property is lovely, quiet, and so close to everything…the hop on hop off is right there and lots of restaurants nearby. We stayed 3 nights and since we are a group of 5 utilized the sofa bed which was okay. The only concern we had was the stairway going up to the flat because there is no handrail past the first floor.

Large modern apartment towering over the royal mile

Loved this apartment for the modern and spacious interior in such a central location so close to Edinburgh Castle. Even the spiral stone staircase was fun to climb and gave us great views up and down the royal mile! I don't think there could be a more centrally placed self contained apartment in Edinburgh!

Excellent location but lots of stairs

Excellent location if you don’t mind a 4 story walk up. Not easy with a special needs child and lots of luggage. But place was good and neighborhood can’t be beat!! The host was good and location. Positive is the stairs help with any extra calories you may consume on Vacation!

Can't beat location

Property clean, great location. Stayed with our adult daughter.Beds comfortable, better coffee pot would be great and limited towels, we had 2 apiece for a 3 night stay.Also stairs are a challenge, 4 flights, after long days we dreaded the stairs. But location is worth the minor inconviences. Its right in the heart of the Royal Mile

Edinburgh Adventures

We could not have asked for a more perfect location to spend three nights in Edinburgh. The apartment was very comfortable for our family of 5 and well appointed with everything we needed. Being on the Royal Mile and walking distance to everything on our list was amazing! The spiral staircase brought a smile to our face each day and could be a bit tricky after a nice late night dinner and a few drinks. But, we survived and loved every minute of our stay. We would definitely go back!

A superb apartment located at the top of the Royal Mile, and perfect for stepping straight out into the heart of everything Edinburgh has to offer. From the apartment window you can even watch the Edinburgh military tattoo parade at the end of each night performance. One thing to note is the property is accessed by a stone spiral staircase, reminiscent of something you would find in a castle turret, which may be a struggle if you have mobility issues, or difficulty carrying cases etc.

Wonderful accommodations in a perfect location! Our family of four wanted to be in the heart of it all and could not have asked for a better spot. The apartment is spacious with every modern convenience and the owner was very responsive and helpful. The winding, medieval staircase is daunting, but the views of the Royal Mile are worth the workout!

We really enjoyed our stay and great communication from our host. The apartment was in the best location and was super nice. We were even able to look out the window to see King Charles. We were also just steps from the castle to see a concert. Really enjoyed our stay. Bravo for a great flat.
