We stayed here (at the larger apartment over the road) on the strength of tripadvisor reviews and were not disappointed. Very comfortable; good views (not just of the castle but also Arthur's Seat etc.); really central (a stone's throw from the Royal Mile) and Moira and Eric had thought of everything. E.g. Moira sent us detailed info about directions and... more

This was our first experience with staying in an apartment while on vacation. We were absolutely pleased at every aspect of our stay. Moira provided us with excellent information before, during and after our stay. The location could not be better. It was simple to get to most of the key sights in Edinburgh by walking from the apartment. The... more

I can only endorse what so many other reviews say, the flat is great. The position is quite amazing with that castle view each morning. One of the best things for me though was how helpful Moira was, not just when we arrived, but with emailed advice beforehand either just emailing info such as the Fringe programmed being published, or... more

Moira and Eric were exceptionally helpful even before we arrived advising as to best time to arrive and easiest route to take as the city was very busy due to the Fringe Festival,the Tattoo and roadworks in Princess Street.The location of the apartment is superb and the Castle,the Royal Mile, Princess street excellent restaurants etc. are all within easy walking... more

We stayed at the larger of the two available apartments and had a fabulous time. The apartment was spotless, comfortable and had all the amenities of home. Our 6 days in beautiful Edinburgh was made all the better with these wonderful accommodations, stunning views of the castle, superb location right around the corner from the Royal Mile and gracious hosts,... more

We MacDonalds came to Edinburgh to attend the Clan Gathering. I am so happy we found the Apt By Castle here on Tripadvisor. I echo all the enthusiasm found on these reviews. Moira (owner) was always prompt in replying to any questions we had prior to arrival, and open to helping us in any way she could. The location is... more

Loved my trip to Edinburgh and a big reason for this is because of the Apartment by Castle! The shops, restaurants/pubs and tour buses are very close and easily accessible (the Royal Mile is just around the corner or up the stairs depending on which side you're coming from/going to). And since it's located next to Edinburgh Castle, the rooms... more

We instantly felt confortable and welcome in this very well-appointed and roomy restored appartment looking out towards the castle! Everything that you could possibly want is here...the combo washer/dryer was a little challenging but everything else was simple to use. The hosts were genuinely nice people...we liked them instantly. One word of warning, make certain that you make your reservation... more

We started our trip in Edinburgh and booked the newer Apartment by the Castle, which is across the street from the original one that is still available for renting as well. Our hosts were delightful, were there to great us when we arrived, helped us settle into the apartment, and gave us tips about the surrounding area. The apartment itself... more
