Castle Wynd South Stay

Great little apartment in an awesome location. Windows do let every tiny sound through, from the neighbours to passersby on the street and restaurants below

This is a one bedroom, with a pull out couch. Location is directly above Grassmarket, and as such is a bit loud in the evenings. I had to sleep with ear buds in. Otherwise, very central and easy access to all the spots we wanted to visit. Thank you!

Sweet Spot in the Center of it All

I loved this place. Now, it is a bit noisy, but that doesn't bother me. I liked the big windows, the cleanliness, and the spaciousness. Having laundry was great too. I had problems checking in and getting the wifi password. The management group kept telling me they sent me emails -- never got the. So I had to call them quite a few times to figure out where the key was, and how to get on the wifi. That is my only critique, otherwise it was great!

Great stay in a wonderful city. Our only complaint was the street noise, but that’s what you get when you stay near the clubs. Bring earplugs if you like to get to sleep before 4 AM. Otherwise, it was perfectly serviceable flat in a great location. The bed was comfortable, it was clean. We mostly were just there for sleep and showers which we got. Nice view overlooking the grassmarket and a short walk to everything in the Old Town, including the castle and restaurants.
