Royal Mile Residence

The 2 bed/one bath apartment with living room and open plan kitchen (apartment 'RMR 4') was great for four adults and one baby. A cot was set up in one of the bedrooms to accomodate the baby who walked and crawled about with great abandon. The living room was bright despite a rainy day and has rooftop views as well as views of taller buildings on Princes Street. The bedrooms has no views. The apartment was right on the Royal Mile and in the middle of activity..so a very convenient location.
Drawbacks: Not mentioned on the website were the following two things: 1) There is no lift in the building. A narrow staircase winding at certain points makes its way up to the rooms. I had a baby in the stroller who had to be carted up by my husband and myself everytime we went up or down. So not convenient in terms of stroller usage. Also, the apartments are in a building seperate from where the reception is located (in a building that house hikers). So call before hand to find out the address of the reception where you need to report to and check in.
Loved the apartment - not sure if I would choose it again cos it makes it difficult to access with a baby.

The apartment was a lovely surprise, right on the Royal Mile and comfortable, modern, clean. Perfect location -- could rest between any of the shows and tours we took without having to do anything other than step off the street!
The staff were so helpful and friendly. A mom, a 21 year old and an 11 year old all enjoyed the wireless, cable TV and full amenities. Thank you.

Up 3 flights of centuries old, worn stone steps. Unsuitable for young children, older people or wheelchair users. Although the surroundings were pleasant the photos had obviously been taken with a wide angle lens and when the apartment was very new. The decor was worn and the rooms were not cleaned to the high standard expected from the price we paid. We had a great time in Edinburgh but to be honest received nothing more for our money than we could have got from a Travelodge at a fraction of the price. And don't sleep on the front as Royal Mile parties until the early hours.

Very steep steps up to the apartment - would be be a bit of a trial with small kids. Apartment consisted of double room, twin room, bathroom & lounge/kitchen - enough room for a family of 4 (or possibly 6 if you put an air bed up in the lounge).
Expensive for 2 but if there are 4/6 of you then recommended.
