"Die kleine Wohnung liegt inmitten der Altstadt, die Victoriastreet und das Castle sind gleich um die Ecke. Bei geschlossenen Fenstern hört man nichts vom Verkehr auf den Straßen. Die Wohnung ist zwar klein, aber mit zwei Schlafzimmern und einem Wohnzimmer mit Pantryküche (plus schönem Duschbad), kommt man gut zurecht. Eine Bushaltestelle der Linienbusse ist direkt vor dem Haus, eine Ghostbustour startet auch dort. "

Wilde Aparthotels, Edinburgh, Grassmarket

Wilde Aparthotels, Edinburgh, Grassmarket

10/10 Excellent
"As a very frequent hotel stayer, I'll admit I'm often hard to impress, but my recent break at Wilde Aparthotels by Staycity in Edinburgh didn't just meet expectations—it completely exceeded them. This was an absolutely amazing stay, and we will certainly be back. Service and Staff Excellence The staff here were genuinely amazing. They were friendly, professional, and went the extra mile to make the stay comfortable. We had a very small issue with a window mechanism, and the maintenance team handled it swiftly, efficiently, and without any disruption to our plans. I even appreciated the small touch of being offered a loan of a brolly for the duration of our stay—a definite plus in Edinburgh! The convenient luggage storage on arrival and departure also made logistics seamless. Location and Features The apartment itself was brilliant. The views of Edinburgh Castle were truly stunning, providing a memorable backdrop to the entire trip. Inside, the modern touches stood out, particularly the snazzy electric blinds, which were a subtle but very welcome luxury feature. For any discerning traveller looking for top-tier service, fantastic accommodation, and a location with unforgettable views, I cannot recommend Wilde Aparthotels enough. Thank you for a lovely, flawless break!"
