Gourdon Range Rear Tours and Activities

We had a wonderful, large room looking over Princes Street. We stayed in February which meant that the rate was very reasonable. We visited the in-house cinema one night - this makes this hotel pretty unique. We would definitely stay here again if coming to Edinburgh.

While the location of these apartments are far from the city center, they were very spacious and allowed us to stretch out for a couple nights. The views are fantastic along the sea and a cool breeze allowed us to sleep with the windows open throughout the night each day. A bottle of complimentary wine was much appreciated as was a well stocked set of kitchen utensils. The negatives we experienced were sticky floors in the main living area and the combination washer/dryer unit that would not dry. This caused us to have to stay up very late on our last night trying to dry our clothes before we could pack up and leave for the rest of our vacation.

We stayed for 2 nights in this apartment hotel. We had our 2 year old with us, and this was a fantastic stay for a few reasons. 1. The team is highly communicative and amenable to requests. Originally they had given us a baby cot, but my toddler has outgrown it - so they were gracious enough to give us an extra bed, with no extra charge. They accommodated an early check-in to make us comfortable. 2. The room while small, was exceptionally well designed. Even with a pull-out bed, a sofa, a small dining table - we never felt cramped. The furnishings were modern and high quality, and having a small kitchenette in the room was helpful. 3. The location is amazing - a short walk from the Royal Mile, and on a street that was quiet at night. They have rooms that face the castle - though they were sold out of those during our stay. 4. Finally, it's the small things that make a good stay great. They left a super cute soft-toy for my toddler on our departure date, which he absolutely loved. One small downside - you have to take a staircase with about 20 steps to get to the rooms. There are no elevators to carry your suitcases. This wasn't a big issue for us, but if you are mobility impaired, it could be a challenge.
