Royal Mile Balconies by the Castle

A privilege to stay in one of the oldest buildings in Edinburgh, next to the castle.

Having to climb 64 steps up a narrow spiral staircase with no handrail. We are both in our seventies and it was hard going!!

Location Good instructions to gain entry Nice biscuits gift.

.1.Cleanliness _:The quilt was dirty and worn and only fit for disposal. The only shelf was full of dust 2. Blind is thin so expect a 5.00am awakening in the summer. Need to replace with blackout blind.. 3. Replace hand towels with bath towels. 4. Sachets for shampoo etc needs replacing with proper bottles. Sachets extremely difficult to open 5. Hangers didn't allow for hanging trousers etc.

Amazing. Location..All Amazing

POWER outage... scary

posizione centrale vicino alle principali attrazioni. Alle stanze si accede tramite una scala a chiocciola abbastanza comoda, la location è suggestiva in quanto stanza con arredi moderni ma con un muro in pietra antico, molto bello. Stanza pulita forniscono kit caffè istantaneo e tè con bollitore e tazze e bicchieri e un piccolo frigo

The location was absolutely amazing, right in the heart of the city. I couldn’t recommend it more !! The room was nicely decorated and had everything you could need such as a kettle, mini fridge and an iron.

For the price I was very impressed with the place, however there were a few inconsistencies here and there. I didn’t enjoy the fact that we could only have a one set of towels each, if you needed more then that’s an extra fee. Also, most of these towels were stained and the bedding had lots of different coloured hairs. My biggest disappointment would be the blinds. They didn’t block out any sunlight at all and gave you zero privacy as they were so see through. In the end I put the blanket provided over the window to actually block out any light. I was awoken to the sunrise at 4am which was not a delight.

Julie was very responsive and answered our messages regarding early check-in and luggage storage.

Excellent accommodation, the location is perfect. Everything is close and within walking distance. Yes, there are spiral stairs to the apartment, but that is emphasized in the description and if you don't like that, you can book accommodation in a newer hotel, not in a 16th century building. If you don't have a big suitcase, you won't have a problem. We were very pleased, the room is small but clean and tidy, the toilet is completely renovated and has everything you need (maybe a small shelf for toiletries would be useful). The entrance instructions were thorough and precise. We even received instructions for using the shower. Thank you to the host for the nice welcome gift.

This is not really a complaint at all, but it might be worth mentioning that there is a lovely pub called Jolly Judge downstairs in the close. If it's not raining, you can hear the guests talking until later in the evening. This problem is easily solved by going down for a drink and joining them.
