Castle View Apartments

Great and very convenient location. About 15 minutes walk from Waverley Station and easy walking distance to all of central Edinburgh. Only downside was that it was rather noisy at night but that is what one would expect from a central city location with lots of cafes/restaurants/bars within easy reach. Would definitely use again.

I contacted the Expedia office on how we got treated and the conditions of this property but unfortunately nobody called me back :(

Castle View apartments are located in a great place, just of George's St. and minutes walking distance from Prince's St. It has everything & more for a short stay. The downside is the apartment is on the top floor of the building, and there is no elevator. Morgan, at the office, was incredibly helpful and professional. I'd come here again on the back of her engagement alone. The one negative was check out. The cleaning crew arrived bang on 10am, looked at their watch and asked, pointedly, what time our check out was at. We were ready to go, but found their approach heavy handed, disappointing on what was otherwise a really positive experience. We did tell them that their manner was a little off, and they took it on the chin.... but we shouldn't have had to.

Great location! Easy walk to castle. The tram stop was close as well.

Location was great. The common areas were poorly kept. The general state of the building needs to be updated.

Spacious apartment for the 3 of us, great location. Small downsides - you have to climb stairs to the 4th floor so don't bring heavy luggage, had to block the bedroom door shut as it wouldn't latch, shower wasn't very powerful.

Great position and spacious. Though fully equipped .

The property was spotless. The location is central for restaurants & bars, and the area seemed quite lively. You could hear the noise from the street from the front of the property (living room, kitchen, bathroom), but with the living room door shut at night it was quiet enough in the bedrooms. I could hear music from the bar downstairs on the Saturday night, but it didn’t stop me sleeping! The downside was the amount of stairs as it is on the top floor!

The property is lovely and really large, with two bedrooms and sleeps 8 in total. The location is perfect for sightseeing and local shops and bars. The only downside, as others have mentioned, is the three flights of stairs to reach the apartment - but good exercise and a lovely view once at the top! The booking agent could not do enough to help and were really helpful.

It was a little cold when I got there but soon warmed up in bedrooms. Lounge and kitchen remained quite cold as no proper central heating here. Apart from that very comfortable and great location, although the location is not as described in hotels.com booking. It’s also on top floor without lift which was ok for one night.

The apartment was easy to find, just a few minutes walk from the train station, just off the main Princes street. It was well organised, we had no problem collecting the keys and finding the apartment in the building. The apartment was clean, tidy, and very spacious considering it is in the centre of the city. We had more than enough space for two, and it would easily sleep 5-6 I'm sure. The kitchen area was well stocked with plates, glasses, cups and so on, and coffee was provided. Fresh towels and linen throughout, this was an absolute find, we were 2 minutes from bars and restaurants, 2 mins from the centre of town, this is a brilliant place to stay, can't recommend it enough.

Great hotel, nice rooms - area good for pubs and restaurants

Absolutely great location with modern Bathroom and bedrooms

This place is HUGE and is very conveniently located. If you’re traveling with a group, it’s the best deal in Edinburgh! However, the four flights up a narrow staircase are a drag with luggage. The kitchen was well appointed and even had a washing machine! There were only two drawbacks. You could hear creatures in the walls and ceiling at night. As this was a two bedroom apartment, I switched rooms. The second bedroom was quieter for sure, but I couldn’t swear the sheets had been laundered.

The apart had just 1 washroom and a very small one with no ventilation in it.

Wonderful location and a great lodging option...A+

Fantastic location in the heart of Edinburgh close to restaurants and shopping. Would stay there again. One problem was no lift so getting luggage up and down was a problem.

The property was beautiful and location excellent. It was a 4th floor walk up which we didn’t realize so challenging to get luggage up to the flat. But the flat itself was great! I didn’t like having to provide my credit card over the phone for an additional security deposit, but I do understand the need for that, just wish it could have been done online.

Great location! A lot of steps to get to the apartment since it is a roof top complex , that is why it has the views. A bit noisy because of the nightlife facilities on bottom, but you are in the middle of everything..

Suite was about 4 floors up so not a place to stay if you can't handle stairs. Suite was excellent, instructions for picking up keys were perfect. No issues. The suite is very well maintained.
