About City Retreat Edinburgh ApartHotels

With only six rooms, City Retreat Edinburgh ApartHotels keeps things small and personal, occupying a spot on Carlton Terrace in Edinburgh. It's an adults-only property, which suits couples or friends after a quieter city break rather than a family stop.

Rooms come with en-suite bathrooms and drinks provided, along with free WiFi throughout, and a 24 hour reception means arrival times are never an issue. The setup favours independent stays over full hotel service, giving guests a private base to come and go from as they please.

The surrounding area offers plenty to fill the day, with a pub or bar, restaurants and eateries, and entertainment all within easy reach, plus walking areas nearby for those wanting fresh air. Golf, fishing and watersports are also close by for the more active, and Edinburgh Zoo makes for a straightforward outing from the door.

I had a really lovely stay at City Retreat Edinburgh. Sav, the host, was amazing, so kind, welcoming, and always ready to help with anything I needed. The place is cosy, clean, and full of charm, making me feel comfortable from the moment I arrived. The location is great too, in a quiet area but still close enough to walk to the centre. Overall, it was a great experience, and I’d definitely stay here again. Highly recommended!

We had a wonderful time staying here with our family! Sav is a fantastic host — very kind and helpful. The accommodation is about a 15-minute walk from the old town centre, which was perfect for us. Thanks to the beautiful old building, we felt as if we had stepped back in time, and our children said it reminded them of the world of Harry Potter. Truly a magical stay — highly recommended!

A Perfect Getaway in the Heart of the City!" I recently had the pleasure of staying at this lovely apartment for 3 nights during my vacation, and I must say, it was an incredible experience. **Location**: The apartment is perfectly situated in a vibrant neighborhood, just a short walk from popular attractions, charming cafes, and local shops. I loved being able to explore the city on foot, and the nearby public transport made it easy to venture further out. **Cleanliness and Comfort**: Upon arrival, I was greeted by a pristine and welcoming space. The apartment was spotless, and the cozy furnishings made it feel like a true home away from home. The bed was incredibly comfortable, ensuring I had restful nights after long days of sightseeing. **Value for Money**: I found this apartment to be an excellent value for the price. Given the high-quality accommodations and the prime location, it was worth every penny. **Conclusion**: Overall, my stay at this apartment exceeded all my expectations. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area, and I look forward to returning on my next trip!
