Stayed at 'the castle apartments' for 3 nights. I absolutely loved the location of the apartment as the building is so historic and old . Having said this, there are alot of stairs to tackle (spiral stairway) and due to said building been so old there is no lift . This wasnt a problem for me, as i am fit and active but could see how it cause a problem for others. My apartment was practically at the top & in need of a bit of a refurbishment but it was still clean & comfortable. I think they are slowly doing the apartments up, as caught a glimpse of the lower apartments and they looked very chic indeed. Yes, i would definatley stay again as they are pretty good value for money and i felt abit like a princess going up and down my own private castle steps !!

Top floor apartment St James Court. Roof leaking into bathroom and sash windows were all broken, so when you opened them they were in danger of falling into the road! I complained about this over the phone, and the staff member did not even apologise

Great location, clean apartment with good facilities. Represented reasonable value given that Festival time is expensive in Edinburgh. Other people have commented on the distance you have to walk from the office and the number of stairs but I am not grumbling about that as neither were a problem if you are able bodied. The water system is a little noisy but other than that I would recommend Castle Apartments as a comfortable and central place to stay.
