Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Walk into the centre takes time — The National Museum of Scotland is a 25-minute walk, and guests note that buses are needed to reach the centre in about 10 minutes, so it's not the most central spot.
  • Value rating is the weakest category — Among the rating categories, Value scores 7.8, lower than Rooms and Service, which may signal that some guests find the price less competitive.
  • No pets and no on-site smoking — The property does not allow pets, and smoking is prohibited on site, which may be a limitation for some travellers.

“This 4-star apartment near Murrayfield Stadium and Princes Street Gardens was a fantastic location for our family getaway. The kids loved being close to the stadium and exploring the beautiful Princes Street Gardens. Our youngest, Little Emma, aged 4, especially enjoyed running around and playing in the gardens. The apartment was perfect for our family – comfortable, well equipped, and a cosy base for our Edinburgh adventures.”
