Apart from all the stairs (when they say a castle, they mean a castle-book a low floor!) It was beautiful. We had a really nice room with a view over the old church and old town. The location was excellent (although I recommend if you have a lot of luggage you get a taxi from the reception to the apartments-its... more

Don’t let the pictures fool you. This place is just crummy. It is dirty, poorly maintained, and the service is terrible. The location is good if you plan to spend all of your time in Old Town near the castle; otherwise it’s a 15-minute walk to New Town for the buses and trains. The so-called emergency night phone number provides... more

These apartments are not for people accustomed to 5 star accommodations, but my husband and I would absolutely stay here again every time we come back to Edinburgh. The rooms are not brand new, but I'm not sure who goes to Edinburgh looking for brand new. Everything was perfectly clean and extremely comfortable, and just oozed character. We were literally... more

1, our stay included breakfast - we did not get any except for 1 day only after discussion with the reception. The man who is taking care of the café was sick 2 of the 4 days we spent there. The excuse was also that the breakfast was "free of charge" say we could not complain if the owner was... more

When we booked this apartment,we did so with our 7 month old in mind,wanting her to be somewhere more comfortable than a hotel. The company were told that we would have a 7 month old with us and duly provided a cot and highchair (the only plus point). What they didn't bother doing was to tell us that the apartment... more

Fantastic apartment! Went for a three night break to Edinburgh and after some searching online, my boyfriend and i chose to stay at the Castle apartments and we were surprised at both the locality and cheapness of the accomodation. Its a 3* and although there were a few stains on the furniture and a bit of an old interior, the... more

This is the first time I have ever written a review on any website..I felt compelled to do so given out bad experience with the company and the condition of the apartment. I agree with the other reviewers, the apartments are old and dirty and not worth the money. It is well located but you can do better for your... more

I stayed here with two friends (one of whom was over 6 months pregnant) for two nights - Friday and Saturday. We had booked an apartment through Castle Apartments before reading these reviews and were very nervous about what we would find. We couldn't have been more relieved. We were given Flat 5 at Borthwick's Close on the Royal Mile... more

PLEASE READ!!!! Don’t stay here.... Awful place. The first thing to be careful of is the fact that the apartments are nowhere near where you collect your keys, so be wary to un-able people for a long walk. The staff in the collection point where very quick but unfortunately not very helpful. We were lucky however that our apartment was... more

We have just returned from a 3 day break to edinburgh. The apartment was terrible and smelt of oil. The bathroom was not even clean, and the carpet had ruffled up. The broucher had said that this was a romantic getaway with amazing veiws of the castle. We could not even see the castle from our room. The windows were... more
