Wow! Just wow. Great location. Great space. I was traveling with my adult son and needed a place with separate rooms - without paying for two hotel rooms on the Royal Mile. The Blackfriars Lofts was perfect. Bedroom, cool loft, full kitchen and lovely living room. Liked it so much, immediately searched to see what other cities The Linton Collection operates. Highly recommend.

Amazingly cute and quaint place in a PERFECT location right off of the Royal Mile. ONLY downside is there’s no lift (old building!), and the stairs are a killer with lots of luggage. But it was worth it!

This loft was exactly as the description. Lovely amenities and walkable to everywhere. The only suggestion would be to have a fan in the upstairs loft part as it can get warm up there. Loved our stay and will definitely be back! Thank you!
