This is a very pleasant apartment near the centre of Edinburgh, within easy walking distance of many of the city's attractions. I'd have no hesitation in recommending this as a place to stay: it's quiet, well-maintained, spacious and everything was in good working order. Free WiFi was a bonus for the very reasonable price. I would note that there are... More

This review is for a 3 bedroom apartment just off the royal mile that is on the third floor of an 1850's building so no lift. The stairs are a bit of a hike, not too bad but elderly or injured should not book this flat. The apartment had 1 3/4 baths which were redone by the owner/proprietors and are... More

We were a little nervous when we arrived as the entrance is a little shabby but once we got to the apartment we were very happy. Great view, spacious light rooms and well equipped. Location is good - a short walk to the royal mile, we liked the fact we were off the main tourist drag - lots of food... More

This apartment is ideally situated for exploring the Old Town. It offers spacious and comfortable accommodation and we found it ideal. It was clean and tidy and we settled in and felt at home right away. Unlike some other travellers I find the fact that I don't need to meet the owners a refreshing change. They were however easily contacted... More

We were a little nervous after reading some of the reviews before arriving in Edinburgh. The moment we opened the outer door to the building, our minds were put at ease. It's clean, convenient and very spacious with views of the Royal Mile and castle across the bridge. There is free wifi, a stove, refrigerator and washing machine in the... More

Firstly, we would point out that the guest did not actually even view the apartment. The guest booked through a website which is unable to individuallt list our apartments seperately. However, the main web page makes it very clear that our apartments are in different locations and provides an accurate distance from the main tourist area. The information on each... More

We pre-booked an apartment with Auld Reekie Apartments. We received a text message informing us where to get the keys. Although we had no difficulty with this, there was no personal service provided by the owners. In fact, we never met the owners. The beds were not comfortable. There were no curtains on the windows, only cream blinds which did... More
