This apartment is ideally situated for exploring the Old Town. It offers spacious and comfortable accommodation and we found it ideal. It was clean and tidy and we settled in and felt at home right away. Unlike some other travellers I find the fact that I don't need to meet the owners a refreshing change. They were however easily contacted... More

We were a little nervous after reading some of the reviews before arriving in Edinburgh. The moment we opened the outer door to the building, our minds were put at ease. It's clean, convenient and very spacious with views of the Royal Mile and castle across the bridge. There is free wifi, a stove, refrigerator and washing machine in the... More

Firstly, we would point out that the guest did not actually even view the apartment. The guest booked through a website which is unable to individuallt list our apartments seperately. However, the main web page makes it very clear that our apartments are in different locations and provides an accurate distance from the main tourist area. The information on each... More

We pre-booked an apartment with Auld Reekie Apartments. We received a text message informing us where to get the keys. Although we had no difficulty with this, there was no personal service provided by the owners. In fact, we never met the owners. The beds were not comfortable. There were no curtains on the windows, only cream blinds which did... More

Location is perfect directly on the Royal Mile. Just walk about 100 metres and you can eat drink and have fun. Cab from airport to apartement was 20 pounds. Life in... More

That being said, I thought this apartment was a great find, My sister and two friends stayed at this apartment for three nights, and found it to be a lovely stay. The decor was shiek, it was clean, and it was very spacious. Also,... More

I stayed at Auld Reekie on a hen do with 6 friends. The entrance to the appartment was shocking. 6 flights of stairs and the stale smell of unrine in the hall ways was horrific, the handrails on the way up were also thick with dust. I don't think it had been cleaned for years! At first glance the appartment... More

This review was left by one member of a group of 12 guests who booked two of our apartments for a hen weekend. After the guests vacated both apartments, one was found to be in an acceptable condition. The other apartment was left in a completely unsatisfactory condition. We do make allowances in terms of the state our apartments are... More
