Linton Collection - Blackfriars Lofts

very nice place

The linton collection was an excellent apartment block in a very good location just off the royal mile. There was a great speak easy type cocktail bar next door called the three blind mice and it was easy to walk to most actractions from the apartment. I would highly recomend the apartment as it had an excellent bathroom with a brilliant shower and free molton brown products to use. Great heating for winter stays and a fan provided if needed. The apartment had a Comfortable double bed and a lovely large lounge and kitchen area with a tv and washing machine. It is pricey to stay in Edinburgh but I think this apartment was worth every penny we paid for it and would deffinatly stay here again.

Another fantastic stay at the Blackfriars lofts This was our second time spending Christmas here and it was just so perfect! Beautiful apartment with a kitchen and everything needed to make up a lovely Christmas lunch! So clean and literally just off the Royal Mile.

Great loft in the middle of old town and easy walk to Princess st.

Although I am not a fan of properties with no on site staff, this one worked out. Not having access to email, I was able to call and get the information needed to check in. The man I spoke with was professional, understanding and helpful. The place itself is terrific-immaculately clean, spacious and very comfortable with an onsite kitchen (only for small meal preparation) with an espresso machine, dishwasher and, most importantly, a washer/dryer which took a little time to figure out. Close to Waverly train station on a quiet block. Highly recommend.

Very convenient for all tourist sites in Edinburgh

It's nearly impossible to get any assistance by phone- no one answers regularly, we could only always email or send online msg.

The apartment was stunning. Charming, cozy, and very clean. Excellent location, a few steps from the Royal Mile and main attractions in Old town. Lovely stay.

Beautiful apartment. Excellent location.

We absolutely loved our stay at the Blackfriars Lofts! The loft was lovely and perfect for my husband and I. Getting in and out of the loft building was smooth and easy. We will be back!

PROS: Great location in Edinburgh. Within walking distance of everything. Lots of shelving & storage. Well equipped kitchen. Check-in & out instructions were clear and communication was excellent. Showers were nice and roomy and plenty of hot water. CONS: We requested a week in advance (like instructions told us to) for the sofa bed to be made up. I was told it would be put in my reservation file. We arrived and it was not made up. Luckily, there were sheets in one of the closets so we were able to make up the sofa bed ourselves. However, the sofa bed mattress was quite stained as was the extra comforter. Kind of gross. Picture of sofa bed looks a lot more comfy than it was. They had air freshener reeds in each of the bathrooms that were overpowering. We wrapped them both in plastic bags and shoved them in a closet. Had to request extra toilet paper a few times which was annoying. The pumps on the hand soap in both bathrooms were broken and did not work so we had to keep it unscrewed and just pour a bit out when washing hands. There was large amount/ pile of dust on top of the wardrobes and on the bottom of nightstands. It wasn't just a little it was a lot! Exhaust fan in one bathroom did not work. Not really a con but the clothes washer is a washer/dryer combination unit. It was okay but not very big and dries VERY SLOWLY. Was difficult to do a week's worth of laundry for 4 people. Took forever and a lot of patience.

Fantastic location meant that all attractions were in easy walking distance. Property was very nicely appointed. Great communication before, during and after stay. Very handy to be able to leave our luggage secure on arrival and departure day too.

Great place to stay and ideal location. Close walking distance to Edinburgh castle, Old Town and lots of places to eat.

This property exceeded all my expectations. It was the perfect size and had every amenity that you could ever need! A full kitchen equipped with a stovetop, dishwasher, microwave/oven, and best of all, a washer/dryer. The bathroom was beautiful. The security/enter/exit system was great. As we had come from Canada, we did not have a phone to call but could email. Emsils wete returned promptly. We asked last minute for a late checkout and they were kind enough to let us stay an extra hour fir a minimsl fee. As far as the location goes, it is about halfway up the Royal mile, just 20 steps down a side street. Shops, restaurants, convenience stores, grocery stores, are just a short walking distance away. I would recommend this place to anyone wanting to be in the heart of Old Town Edinburgh. It was magical. If I was to return to Scotland, I would book this property again, no hesitation.

Great convenience and nice apartment. It was very noisy above us and also on the street

Stunning apartment in a fantastic location, would definitely book again.

First impressions are key and ours was terrible. We walked in the lobby area to find bags of dirty laundry and boxes of produce in the way. We could not even get by with our luggage. This area became more congested with more dirty laundry each day it was disgusting. It is unfortunate as the apartment was quite nice and clean.

Really lovely space & location. Even though the festival was in mid flow, the road is relatively quiet and we were not disturbed. No microwave & mezzanine bed a little warm in summer, but otherwise perfect!

Very convenient, steps away from the royal mile. Perfect location, clean and modern

Awesome location. Close to dozens of good restaurants and bars. Enjoyed the size of the room because everyone had their own space to relax and unwind. The area felt very secure and easy walking distance from most inner city attractions. I will use Linton again on our next Edinburgh vacation
