Excellent place to stay!

The Museum Apartments is in a very central location in the heart of Edinburgh and around the corner from the Royal Mile. The apartment was exceptionally clean and had all the amenities needed for us to feel comfortable. Communication with the management team was excellent - I had a few questions about appliances which were answered immediately.

Walkable home away from home in Old town Edinburgh

The apartment was so convenient and walkable to all the main sites. It was also quiet even though outside was very noisy during the festival. It was like a home away from home.

You absolutely cannot beat the area of this property. It’s so central to all the spots you want to visit in Old Town, and is only a 16 minute walk to New Town. One of the absolute best parts of this booking was the inclusion of laundry - we wouldn’t have made it through our vacation without it!

My wife and I spent three nights in Edinburgh as part of a month long trip and chose this property based on its location and that it had a washer for us to do our laundry. It’s a great apartment, location can’t be beat , we were very pleased and felt right at home.

Perfect location for a 3 day trip in Edinburgh

The location is so good for walking around Old Town. Bus stop right on Chambers Street. Right across the street from the museum. Grocery down the street and around the corner. Many, many pubs and restaurants near by. Small things like only 2 towels provided initially , walls that need repainted and blinds that are not room darkening were not a major issue for us. Excellent communication back and forth with site with any questions.

Very spacious and airy, with huge, bright windows. Excellent appliances. Comfy bed in a nice little nook. We ate breakfast there with groceries bought from the “local”Saintsbury and cooked over the snazzy induction hob. Would have appreciated a more clear cut way to recycle, tho. Loved being right across the street from the Scottish National Museum and around the corner from lots of bars band restaurants. Fantastic location. Would definitely return!
