Cadell House Apt - Royal Mile

The house is in a great location, close to the main attractions in Edinburgh. It was very clean, with a well-equipped kitchen that had everything you need to cook for yourself. The communication with the host was good, and the heating system worked perfectly, which was much appreciated since we stayed in September which is cold in Edinburgh. However, we paid £600 for 2 nights, plus the £100 deposit, which I think is quite a lot for the quality you get.

I was disappointed to find out about a £100 deposit request via PayPal after booking, which wasn’t clearly mentioned in the house policies—only in the additional information section. This felt a bit hidden and gave off a sketchy impression. However, I was refunded a day or two after leaving the property. Upon arrival, the entrance to the house was dark and unclean, with a pile of leaves and dirt right in front of the door. Inside, the bathroom door didn’t have a lock, and the shower head was fixed, lacking a handheld option. The bedrooms could benefit from a mirror and flip-flops for added comfort.

Historic flat in incredible location on the Royal Mile

Awkward access, lacks lighting in communal stairwell.

Very clean and well equipped.

The key system is complicated. Especially the way to open the door of the appartment. Not clear why you would need a code and a key for that.

Great location, very clean and roomy. Locking system was a little awkward, especially at night.

Staying here worked out well for our family for 5 days. The location is very good - from Holyroodhouse and the hill there for walks, to all the things on the Royal Mile. The shower was great, there were all the things you need in the kitchen. Thanks for the stay.

Great location, very comfortable, lots of room, very clean! Good communication with hosts. Lovely! I’d stay again.

Location was fantastic!!

The location was fantastic. The property was charming and clean with everything we might need.

The address was hard to find as Google maps took us to a neighboring location.

The location of this property is amazing! Right on the Royal Mile, but tucked back in a close that feels private and cozy. Such a convenience to have a kitchen and a washing machine during our holiday. We found the space to be clean and comfortable for our trip. Convenient to everything and extremely walkable. We rented a car for our entire trip around Scotland, but wished we did not have it for the time we were in Edinburgh. It’s just not needed and paying for parking felt wasteful. Definitely recommend this property. Our only recommendation for improvement is that it would have been nice if the backyard was accessible to use the clothesline for drying.
