Gorgeous, real luxury and right in the middle of the royal mile. I had to check in at a hostel around the corner so i started to worry thinking thats where we had to stay but then they gave us the keys and directed us to the apartments. It is a very old building full of history and very typical of the royal mile, there is a small winding stairs to get to the apartments, it is literally like something on a turret stairway but gorgeous, not so sure about buggies though!!. When we opened the door I was delighted, wow, amazing. The interior designed rooms and molten and brown soap and gels etc, it was all the little things, big baths and seperate stand alone showers, twin sinks, Bed linen was amazing, i was very very impressed, friends were atying in other apartments so i had a look at three all together and all were really differently decorated but all amazing. I would totally recommend to day here, it's pricy but not if there is a few of you, we booked as a hen party believe it or not so there was 12 of us across 2 apartments but we all still say we would defo go back, the location is perfect, close to everything, pubs, shopping, histiry and don't forget to go to teh fudge shop down the road, watch them make it and then eat it...wow!!!

If you're looking for a lovely place in the heart of Scotland's capital then the Royal Mile Resident is great accommodation if you can sleep through hurricanes, and enjoy waking up at the crack of dawn.

The windows are single glazed which means you can hear everything happening in the streets below. From chanting, shouting, bottle breaking drunks at 3am when the night clubs close to the shrill screaming children from the nursery below at 8:00am on weekdays, it can be a challenge to get some sleep.

The Royal Mile Residence is a series of apartments located on the Royal Mile just 5 mins walk from the Castle in Edinburgh's city centre. These converted apartments have been given a cozy high spec facelift with a lovely furnished open-plan kitchen living room, bath and shower room, and comfortable beds. With friendly staff, modern interiors, and great views of the city centre, the apartments are no doubt value for its money. So if you want to visit Edinburgh in style the the Royal Mile Residence is the place to be, but do please take some earplugs.

Nice view,
Noise from the bars until 4 AM
Wake up at 8 AM to a lovely scream of children from the nursery below until 6 PM.
Single glazed windows will keep you aware ,where you are all the times.
Good luck!!!!

These are apartments superbly located on the Royal Mile. The actual reception is round the corner. If you book the property you should remember this to avoid confusion.

The issue with this apartment is that the flats are located in a building with no lift. You can only get the rooms through a very steep ladder with all your luggage. There is no porter or other help. It wasn't our case but if you are elderly or have any mobility issues this is a very serious physical challenge. It is a big challenge for those who are fit and able. This is not disclosed to you when you book it but in our case we were given the top floor so going up and down was simply diabolical and with the luggage a real and painful hassle.

If you can put up with the above, the flats are very well equipped including a full kitchen and laundry services inside it. Bedding is fine and so is lounge and toilette. This may be appealing if you manage to negotiate the lack of a lift and the steep climbs with your own luggage without any help from the hotel reception.
