Good location.
Nice design, but not so stunning like in pictures. Quite a lot gaps like a broken window curtains, non-working light bulb, an empty dishwashing liquid dispenser, and all that stuff, that were not fixed during our half-week stay.

It was a nice place, clean and spacious. We only wished they had a few instructions on how to gain access to the wifi which they said was included in the stay, we didnt get information back when we contacted them about this.

Accommodations fit for royals
This place was even better than I imagined. Excellent location, easy access, and everything you need. It was spotlessly clean and obviously recently renovated/updated due to the excellent condition of everything. Chargers everywhere, modern appliances, and comfy bed.

Clean and Nice
The apartments were extremely clean and comfortable. With a gorgeous few of the gardens behind the building. Once you exit and go upstairs the castle is immediately in front of you!

Poor quality and overpriced
Location is perfect, with lovely views of the castle. However, we felt for the price paid for a 4-night stay (£750), the condition of property was extremely poor, with excessive damage and repairs needed as pictured.
Of the 4 windows, only one blind was working meaning we could only benefit from a very small amount of natural light throughout the day and unable to close the bedroom blind at all. The bathroom towel rail was hanging off the wall and not working too. In addition, the wardrobe in the bedroom was filthy and full of thick dust.
We wouldn’t stay here again.

Good but could be better
Overall we had a very pleasant and comfortable stay.
However, we were a little disappointed that the Nespresso machine had very few pods provided and it required unique pods that could only be purchased with a UK business account. Other amenities were overlooked.
For example, only a single drinking glass was provided, only a few rolls of toilet paper and paper towels were provided, and there was no dish soap for a stay of almost 2 weeks for three people.

Loved the location, easy access to both old and new town. Walkable and central to all attractiona, restaurants and shopping. Clean, confortable and spacious
My only gripe is: I wished there is a way to get in touch with the property manager other than a local phone number. The TV in the bedroom did not work and the toilet paper holder in the barhroom was torn from the wall upon our check in.

This is a brand new, beautiful property about 10 mins walk to High Street. We walked from the train station in about 20 mins. Not everyone will want to do this but it worked for us. It’s on a fairly major street but away from noisy traffic.
Entry and exit was easy and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
I would recommend that the large window in the apartment be repaired as it is at ground level. Thanks to Stuart for a lovely stay.

The space is new so very clean, spacious and convenient. Only thing is, communication is tough. If you don’t have a sim, it will be very difficult to get a response with them. They never responded to my email & didn’t pick up the phone but responded the text.

The property was very clean. The towel warmers didn’t work however. Location was not bad but no public transportation without considerable walk. Need more towels (one per guest for multiple stays not sufficient). Emails to property not answered.

Overall it was a beautiful space. I would stay here again. It was very cozie and beautifully decorated. My only critique would be for the cleaning crew to pay closer attention to detail. The electric water kettle had mold in it, there were some dirty dishes left in th cabinets that had not been washed. Also would suggest more check ins as far as refilling the toilet paper and laundry detergent. We had to buy our own after asking for more. Everything else was kept nicely.

Property was excellent;HOWEVER, one big problem and a few minor recommendations. ALL the interior doorknobs are almost impossible to turn. Some aged folks and those with problems using their hands to turn a jar lid or door knob could find themselves locked in the bathroom! Replace ALL knows with knobs containing fulcrums. Also have a printed handout to tell folks how to operate the shower, dishwasher,etc. Non Europeans are unfamiliar with some of these product. Also have a list of recommended restaurants etc.
The place was impeccably clean and new. Overall a really nice visit, but change those doorknobs!!!

Our family of four really enjoyed our stay at 33 Castle Terrace. It was exactly as it is depicted in photos. It’s located on a quiet street away from more densely populated areas of Edinburgh. The apartment was newly renovated —very clean, comfortable, and beautifully furnished. There are stunning castle views right outside the door. A grocery store is conveniently located just up the street, and you are within walking distance to a park and children’s playground. The apartment is within walking distance to the Castle, Old Town, the Royal Mile, Deans Village and just about every other popular location if you’re up for a short trek. If you need an Uber they are able to pick you up right outside your door. The tram stops just a few blocks away, and Waverley station is a 12-15 minute walk (with luggage in tow). The property manager responded promptly and was very flexible, friendly, and easy to communicate with. We would happily stay at 33 Castle Terrace again, and would absolutely recommend it to anyone else.
