About Edinburgh Castle Apartments
A pub and restaurant scene sits right on the doorstep of Edinburgh Castle Apartments, on Castle Street in the heart of Edinburgh, making it an easy base for evenings out without needing to travel far for food or drink. In-room drinks are also available for those who prefer to stay in, and the kitchen facilities mean self-catering is straightforward too.
The hotel has 18 rooms, including family options with en-suite bathrooms and kitchens, and guests generally find them well-equipped and comfortably furnished, though some rooms are on the smaller side. Staff are on hand around the clock at 24 hour reception, and practical extras such as luggage storage and a laundry service take care of the essentials. There's also a garden for some outdoor space, and the property doubles as a wedding venue.
Beyond the immediate surroundings, Edinburgh Zoo offers a nearby outing, while golf, fishing, watersports and entertainment options are all within reach for those wanting to explore further afield. Edinburgh Waverley provides onward travel connections for anyone arriving without a car.

What guests say
This was our first time in Edinburgh and we couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. It was centrally located and a convenient walk to everything we wanted to do. The room was comfortable and had all the amenities anyone could want. Management was present on site and very friendly. We were very satisfied

I enjoyed the stay in the Castle apartments. The rooms are very spacious and have everything needed. It was a bit cold, but when we turned on the heating, in two hours it became quite pleasant. I liked that they even had a moisturiser in the bathroom. Most of the hotels don’t have it. I guess this place can be quite expensive during the weekend, but we paid around £90 for one night (Sunday to Monday), and I think it is a great value.

What can I say about the apartment? Everything!! It's lovely by itself. The location is perfect. The windows are perfect for people watching. The recycling of the glass bottles gets loud when the places nearby close but that's part of the charm. Fantastic view out our window of Edinburgh Castle. Book a stay. You won't regret it. Pack light in case you're above the second floor.

The location of these apartments can't be beat. We came in Christmas time and their was a little market down the street and the Polar Bar and ice skating up the street. Easy walk to many many attractions and on a lot of bus routes. The rooms are nicely appointed, lovely bathroom. We were sleeping 5 adults so it was a bit tight but workable. There was no tea towel in the kitchen which was a minor bugbear. Keep in mind the building is 250 years old, there is no lift, the floor is a little uneven.
