"Never made it into the apartment. They didn’t send entry directions. I arrived and no info. It was raining so I had to find another place to stay. Very disappointing way to start my trip but didn’t ruin it. "

I have never stayed at this hotel before and I will 100% be returning. Super clean, fantastic finish and the bed sheets were so soft! Couldn’t fault a single thing. We stayed on a Saturday night (on floor 9) and you could hear a tiny bit of noise from local streets but did not disturb our sleep one bit. All staff were super friendly too. Fab location too. Thank you so much.

What an incredible place to stay. Blackfriars Loft apartments are stunning. Furnished beautifully. Everything you could need was provided. The apartment was spotlessly clean, comfortable and located so close to the Royal Mile. Beautiful bathroom and toiletries. Very handy to have a washing machine and drying rack. Fabulous whiskey and pizza bar directly under the apartment and fabulous place for breakfast next door. We were able to park directly in front of the building to unload luggage which...

Once inside, the apartment was quiet, comfortable and very well resourced. We had everything we needed for a very comfortable 3 night stay, including a supermarket next door. The welcome pack of cereals, bread, fresh juices, milk and biscuits were an added bonus. Great location, walking distance to all the sights and excellent local independent shops. You must go to Mary's Milk Bar in the Grassmarket and Lovecrumbs across the street

The location is absolutely perfect to walk to the castle, get on the On-Off bus and/or to stroll down Royal Mile. Buy the two day OnOff and get free entrance to the Royal Yacht Britannia, castle, and Holyrood house—all three worth every minute. After deducting these from the price of the bus pass it only cost us $15. All three venues were awesome and everything else we did was free. Pubs, Saint Giles and Parliament. Awesome city! Great apartment!!

We only stayed here one night due to a booking mishap at another location. I wish we had stayed here for the entire week of our time in Edinburgh! Half the price of the medium-class hotel we were at, central, and very comfortable.

Great location, ample living space, really comfortable beds and showers. Great facility overall. The location is central and therefore street noise may disturb sleep if sensitive to noise.

Beautiful modern apartment in popular area! Great furnishings and art. A real home from home. Can’t wait to return. Across from Augustine United Church and Nando’s, original address markers no longer open. Try Auld Jock’s Cafe for breakfast - turn right out main door. And Vittoria for dinner - left out of door. Grassmarket v near too. A bit noisy at night but the view of the Castle makes up for that.
