This is an apartment that is centrally located. The bed is comfortable and the place was very clean. The location is the best part of this rental. As soon as you walk outside the door the castle is right there. it's 5 minute walk to the royal mile and all shops and restaurants around it.

We had a wonderful stay at 33 Castle Terrace in Edinburgh. The location couldn’t have been better—just steps away from the heart of the city, with stunning views of the Castle and easy access to all the main attractions. The place itself was spotless, well-maintained, and thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The interiors had a warm, welcoming feel, making it easy to relax after a day of exploring the city. The attention to detail really stood out, from the cozy furnishings to the modern amenities. Communication with the host was smooth and professional, which made the whole experience stress-free. Overall, 33 Castle Terrace offers the perfect balance of comfort, convenience, and charm. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Edinburgh.

Nice, clean apartment

We had a great stay at this apartment. It was clean, looks to have been recently renovated. It had two bedrooms with queen size beds and a nice living/kitchen area. No staff on site but management was responsive when reached via the Hotels.com message site. Was super close to Edinburgh Castle, although at the bottom of the hill, and there were nice cafes and a grocery store nearby. Plenty of room for our family of four with two adult children. They even had a convenient locker to store luggage before we could check in.

This is a fantastic choice for anyone wishing to explore Edinburgh. Location cannot be beaten with plenty of shops and food options around and the wonderful castle as a centerpiece. All the nice touches that make a stay enjoyable from coffee to shortbread, washer and dryer, and everything else you could need. Great customer service as well as we received a call back within 2 minutes of submitting a question about our booking. I would absolutely stay here again and would recommend it highly.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Loved the big space, and the bed and couch were very comfortable! If anyone else is wondering as I did if the round dining table is a good size for working on a computer, there’s plenty of space for 1. I preferred sitting by the window there so just moved the desk chair. Super easy to walk around the castle to get places, and a Sainsburys is a block away. Felt safe at night to walk back. As someone who doesn’t usually get their room cleaned partway but had a longer stay, I do wish there was say a bit more toilet paper and Kleenex, but I’m sure that’s easy to ask for. Perhaps also there could be other things like salt&pepper or other base condiments? I didn’t need any, but if you’re not staying long AND want to cook, it sucks to have to buy those things. Also fyi that the garden 1 bedroom is down a flight of stairs. I’d stay here again for a quiet retreat in the city! Seeing the castle every time I went out the door was amazing.
