• Location and comfort
• Excellent apart from the heating system had air pockets that made loud noises all night and a tap top was missing.

“The flat was ideal for our purposes although we did expect more of a hotel with the leisure facilities on another floor rather than a little way away. We were surprised when we were first taken to the apartment and anyone with a disability or pushchairs would have struggled with the steps. However, for us it was a superb location and thoroughly enjoyable. We would cetainly use if again if we visited Edinburgh.”

• Apartment set up - spent more time with friends than would have at hotel. View. Decor.

“The location of the appartment is brilliant in it's accessiblity to the train station and checking in at the nearby youth hostel, although unconventional, was none the less perfectly adequate.
Regards the setting and the view of Edinburgh, especially in view of the superbly executed Christmas lightling of the city, were of film set standard.
The appartment itslef was 'designed', though totally in keeping whith the environment and the character of the building and it was spotless and fully functioning.
We would highly recommend it.”

• modern, convenient, clean, well furnished
• hated check in at the backpackers and the climb to the room!

“I would have liked to know that I was going to check in at the backpackers hostel. Having someone else make the reservation, then not being sure I have come to right place because it is so unexpected.”

• Clean well appointed place, honest staff and ownership, good food at cafe
• very expensive, short sloped stair steps

“This was a very nice accommodation with great attention to details of comfort, soaps, supplies, towels, made beds and so on. We were overcharged for breakfast one morning without noticing--the staff noticed later when completing the days bookkeeping and corrected it by the next morning with a letter attached to our door. I deeply appreciated the honest, hard working staff that attended to this accommodation. We were made to feel very welcome. This place is expensive by North America standards and that is somewhat related to the strength of the US dollar against the pound at present.”

• Luxury home from home with complete independence
• The check in was surprising but sweet

“The idea of booking an apartment hotel was fantastic, complete flexibility but with the majority of hotel services. I;ve used the web site on a number of occiasions and always find the service and rates very good.”

• beautifully and tastefully decorated and very clean. the appartment suited our needs.
• the very steep staircase leading to the appartment. this was not explained on website. would struggle with baby and pram.

“I was a little shocked on arrival to find I was checking into a youth hostal! however, the lady that greated us was both friendly and reassuring. Having then to carry all our luggage up a slight hill in the dark and pouring with rain to then be greated with a steep high staircase with no lift facility, was not what we were expecting.

Once inside the appartment our dissappointment then turned to relief, as we entered a beautiful appartment, decorated to a very high standard and exceptionally clean. It was a great place and we enjoyed our stay very much making use of the health spa on offer to royal mile residence. This was just what we needed to relax after our long day shopping in beautiful edinburgh.

I will definately be visiting you again soon, this time bringing my family.

Thank you.

p.s I am still waiting for my towel to be sent back to me, as this was taken from the bedroom by mistake by your staff.”

• Wonderful location, beautiful interior, very comfortable, excellent cleaning.
• The stairs!

“Much better than expected, washing machine didn't work, but reception staff took our washing and brought it back clean, which was even better than me having to do it! Teenage children would have liked a TV in their room, we would have liked to stay longer. An older person, or people with young children may have found the stairs difficult. We thought RMR a hidden gem, and we hope not too many people find out a bout it!”

• Very well presented and equipped
• The kitchen floor was dangerously slippy. No info about Escape children times.

“This accommodation is brilliantly situated for visiting the main sites in Edinburgh. The amazing bus routes mean you can visit most places without the need for the car. You are very close to the main shopping links and need good walking shoes!”
