    Beautiful! We were a group of 6 and had an apartment and a hotel room. Although not in the same building, very close and both places were exceptional. Beautiful decor and comfortable beds. The heated bathroom floors were luxury. Loved the coffee place on site. Excellent breakfast and friendly staff that remembered us each morning. Easy walk to many restaurants, pubs and shopping. View of the castle.

    The location is ideal. We went for the Royal Military tattoo and fringe festival. Perfect location to get to everywhere. The room was gorgeous, so spacious. The staff could not do enough for you. From the second you step foot into the hotel to the minute you leave, they are there to help. Breakfast was fantastic and the food in the restaurant amazing. Would not hesitate to return!!!

    An exceptional city centre stay in Edinburgh, my only regret is that we didn’t book to stay for longer. The apartment is decorated to a very high standard, all appliances are new and they even have GHD hair straighteners and a hairdryer. We were walked 4 doors down the street to our apartment from reception where the staff were a delight. Baggage storage also meant we could enjoy our last day entirely without lugging baggage around a busy Edinburgh city. A real home from home, full of comforts. Would recommend and will definitely be returning as my new top choice for accommodation in Edinburgh.

    Apartment was fabulous. Spotlessly clean. Three bedrooms. My youngest daughter loved the bunk beds in one room. Location is perfect, 100 meters from Princess street. Breakfast and Dinner in the Huxley was delicious. Staff very attentive, one of the best stays we have had.

    Breakfast was pretty mediocre, eventhough its a la carte, it was hard to find something simple to eat and the dishes were not as good for the price we paid

    We loved our apart amen, ir was very luxurious and spacious, the staff was very friendly and helpful, location is great- near edinburgh castle

    The floorboards in the room were squeaky making hard to be quiet when my partner was having a nap - but that's really the only fault and that's nothing when you have views like these.

    The view of Edinburgh castle from the Aros room was incredible. It made it hard to leave the window seat but what a fantastic place to people watch and soak up the gorgeous Edinburgh architecture. Also directly across from the Johnny Walker building and handy walking to everywhere.

    A superb boutique hotel with fabulous apartments and lovely staff. Great location.

    • Stayed 2 nights

    Hard to think of anything as it was a lovely room. One minor thing - when stepping out of the shower there was no hook or rail for the towels nearby so had to walk across the (huge) bathroom to get the towels. A hook just outside the shower would have been helpful.

    Fantastic one room apartment upgrade. Spotlessly clean and spacious rooms, comfortably and stylishly fitted out with thoughtful touches. All staff were welcoming, friendly and helpful, from reception to housekeeping. Great location with nice restaurants and bars nearby. The Huxley, next door, served a fabulous breakfast and hotel guests received a discount. This will be our go to hotel in Edinburgh from now on.

    For me the bed was too hard and the floor creaked when you walked across it.

    Paid for breakfast for two days only. Would have been perfect 10 score if breakfast had been included. What I had was fine
