Beautiful views and lots of food and coffee nearby. Easy and quick to get to everything. Hosts were easy to communicate with. Wish the pillows were a bit more substantial. We didn’t have a problem with noise because we brought a white noise machine. ##### elena m. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### SEAN C.

Mar 13, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Awesome location! Right in the middle of the Royal Mile with easy access to all the sites - the Edinburgh Castle, Victoria Street etc. Lots of eateries and coffee shops nearby and a beautiful view of St Giles Cathedral. The only negative would be that you can hear some street noice but once we closed the curtains to retire for the night it blocked the noise and we were able to sleep comfortably. It truly was a beautiful place and we definitely would stay there again! ##### Carol W. Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Leslie M. May 4, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fabulous location This apartment was very clean and extremely comfortable. The location was as advertised- right across from St Giles cathedral. It is very close to the Edinburgh Castle, University of Edinburgh, and the Real Mary King's Close. It is short walk down the Royal Mile to the Edinburgh Palace. The host was very responsive and helpful. I would suggest updating the interior photos on the VRBO website. The walls in the apartment have been painted and are now bright yellow and turquoise. We highly recommend this partment. ##### Leslie M. Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alison K. Sep 17, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great place in an amazing location! I stayed a few nights at this apartment with my partner and another couple when visiting Edinburgh for the first time. The location was fantastic. The place is very walkable from the train station, Old Town, and many of the must-see sights in the area. The Altido team was also very communicative and easy to reach. We had no issues finding the apartment or checking in. We'd love to stay here again on our next trip to Edinburgh! ##### Alison K. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Patricia F. May 24, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Old Town, Edinburgh This is a fantastic property on the Royal Mile to explore Old Town from. Not only is it lovely and well-maintained, with all the comforts of home, it's also a terrific location for walking to much of what you'd hope to see in the Old Town - museums, the Castle, pubs, shopping, and excellent restaurants. St. Giles Cathedral is directly across the street with a magnificent view of the lightedspire in the evening, and we had a front row seat to Parade Day activities from our windows. Access to the flat via code is simple and straightforward, and the two flights of stairs to reach the apartment were not a hardship for us senior citizens. There was plenty of comfortable space for our group of four to spread out in, and the bathrooms are roomy and updated. The kitchen is well-equipped, and especially handy is the washing machine. I would highly recommend this location for exploring Edinburgh's Old Town. The only minor issue was that upon arriving, we found that there was no hairdryer as listed among the amenities. When I reached out to management to inquire about getting one, I never heard back. Luckily, there is a Boots around the corner where an inexpensive hairdryer saved the day! Again, this is a wonderful apartment, and we'd happily stay here on our next trip. ##### Patricia F.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this apartment hotel during my trip to Edinburgh, and it was an experience beyond compare. Nestled right in front of St Giles Cathedral, the hotel's location is unbeatable, centrally located within walking distance to many attractions and the famous Edinburgh Castle. Absolutely loved it! The apartment was immaculate and nicely furnished. The spacious living area, fully equipped kitchen, and comfortable bedroom made it feel like a home away from home. The large windows provided stunning views of the cathedral. Truly dreamy. Staying here was an unforgettable experience. The perfect blend of location and comfort made our trip to Edinburgh truly special. I highly recommend this apartment hotel to anyone visiting the city! Can't wait to stay here once again upon our return ! ##### Sandra Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ulrike K.
