Spacious Old Town Flat Near Castle and Royal Mile

10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (1)
"The apartment was in a great location and easily walkable to The Royal Mile and other attractions. It was also very spacious! Most places we've stayed in Europe are very small, so I was impressed at the size of the apartment. Two full bedrooms, a large kitchen, and a nicely sized living room. Plus, communication with Jeff was seamless, and he was always available if we had questions. We'd definitely stay again!"

Motel One Edinburgh - Princes

Motel One Edinburgh - Princes

10/10 Excellent
"The location is very convienent for the Royal mile and Edinburgh Waverly. Breakfast was good (continental with more options) but slightly pricey since we added it on. We were lucky that we were able to get right into our room at 9 am (which we didn’t expect but they had one open), It is clean and pretty with a comfortable bed. I would stay again."
