    Stayed in a charming 19th-century building with free WiFi. Loved having the entire apartment to myself and the convenience of a washing machine.

    Couldn't enjoy the view of the bins from my stuffy room because I couldn't open the windows. Such a shame.

    Perfect location for exploring the city, with plenty of restaurants and shops nearby. the accommodation had all the modern conveniences and a welcome basket on arrival. the Wi-Fi was excellent and easy to connect to.

    The room was too hot and stuffy, although there was a fan provided. It would have been helpful if the host provided some cooking essentials like cooking oil and salt.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Greyfriars Studio. The self-catering accommodation was exactly what we were looking for. The location was ideal, right in the heart of the city, with easy access to the Grassmarket and its numerous restaurants and shops. The facilities in the apartment were great, with complimentary snacks, water, and even whiskey provided. The Wi-Fi was excellent, making it easy for us to stay connected. The owners were also very responsive to our needs, ensuring that our stay was comfortable and enjoyable.

    Although there were a few minor drawbacks, such as the windows not opening and the room being warm and stuffy, these were outweighed by the overall positive experience. The dusty blinds and light bulbs needing changing were minor inconveniences, and the Friday night noise from the bell/intercom was not the fault of the property.

    Stayed in a charming 19th-century building with free WiFi, a washing machine, and a dining area. Cons: Oh, just the small inconveniences of dusty blinds and loud drunk bell-ringers. No biggie.

    Memorable Stay in a Lively Area 🌆

    We didn't want to leave and we'd totally recommend it. We spent two nights and had a great time. The place is right in the heart of a lively area, Grassmarket.

    The location of the hotel is perfect, right in the heart of the Old Town on Grassmarket itself. Guests can enjoy the convenience of having a convenience store just across the road, as well as numerous pubs and cafes nearby. The apartment offers modern conveniences and thoughtful touches such as a welcome basket upon arrival. Additionally, the double-glazed windows help block out noise, ensuring a peaceful stay.

    Some guests mentioned that the room could get quite hot, especially during the summer months. However, the hotel does provide a fan, although it may not be sufficient during particularly hot weather.

    Great location, easy access to attractions and restaurants. Snacks and complimentary drinks provided.

    Noise from inside the hotel, doors slamming and creaky floors. Inconsistent check out time and lack of communication from staff.

    greyfriars studio was the perfect location for our stay in edinburgh. the owners were so responsive and the apartment had everything we needed. the ground floor location and enclosed courtyard were ideal for our pet. the complimentary snacks and drinks were a nice touch. we would definitely recommend this place to friends and family.

    Road closures made it difficult to find the address by car.

    This place is absolutely mind-blowing! It's so well-equipped and super clean. It's located right in the middle of everything and the hosts have thought of everything you might need. Despite some reviews mentioning street noise, this place is jaw-droppingly sound-proofed! The bed is so comfy, you'll sleep like a baby. The kitchen is stocked with all the cookware and utensils you could ever need. The apartment is in a fantastic location in the Old Town and has amazing little touches like free snacks and streaming services. Plus, it's pet-friendly with a courtyard for your furry friend! And the complimentary treats in the fridge are the icing on the cake. This place is simply amazing. Highly recommend to friends and family.

    I had an incredible stay at this studio in the heart of the Old Town. The location couldn't be better - right on Grassmarket itself. I loved being just a stone's throw away from everything Edinburgh has to offer. The hotel facilities were top-notch, with luxurious towels, kitchen essentials, and even a welcome pack with treats like crisps and whisky. The cleanliness was impeccable, and the double glazed windows helped block out any noise from outside. The staff were friendly and helpful, making me feel right at home. this place exceeded my expectations in terms of location, cleanliness, and hotel facilities.

    Couldn't fault.
