    Lots of fun things to see and do and just a nice place to hang out. Loads of lunch spots; we would recommend the Whiskey and Haggis arcade and suggest try the Robert Burns Famous Haggis with whiskey sauce; one portion is enough for 2 people.

    The real St Mary's Close.

    The real St Mary's Close. Amazing "Museum" which is actually a series of uncovered streets that were originally built beneath the current road, below the town. When the plague hit, the poor were entombed there. The history of it was mind-boggling. A must to see. The Mile itself just great to walk, stop, sip a drink or two. The Dome restaurant and Bars wonderous at Xmas. Fantastic array of external and internal Christmas lights, trees.

    Loved walking up and down the Royal Mile, it was the Fringe Festival while were there, it was a hive of activity and street performers were dotted along the mile. There are also some interesting shops selling souvenirs, if that's your thing

    DON'T go in peak season! The historical interest is completely obfuscated by the crowds and tacky souvenir shops. Taking a walking tour with Mercat tours at least gives one interesting historical information

    Hopefully you'll get a chance to walk the entire length. Always a bustling area with lots of interesting things to do and see. Too much to list here. Check online. the Whisky adventure is a must for those who like a tipple, Camera Obscura at the castle end. Holyrood Palace and park at the other. Book the top end restaurants well in advance of your visit.

    A big 4 bedroom apartment, great for a city centre stay. Could nicely fit a group of 9 in the flat. We really loved the location - so close to Edinburgh's Royal Mile and Castle as well as around many nice cafes and pubs. Would 100% recommend.

    It is a very well located apartment, if you don't have problems with walking a little, it is very close to everything, in our case we went to Edinburgh Castle, the Royal Mile and Princes Street on foot. The apartment is super comfortable, we were four people and up to eight can stay, which means that we were very comfortable.

    The staff were very friendly and helpful. Helped us carry bags to and from apartment, moved us to a different apartment when I was unable to handle stairs (too bad, as it was a really quaint, old Scottish apartment). Daily maid service in apartment (not common for apartments). Hotel/apartments were located at great spot on the Royal Mile. Restaurant was very good. Apartment was very comfortable for 4 people. Would happily stay there again. Was one of the best stays of our 2 1/2 month trip through Europe!

    Excellent location -- in the heart of historic Edinburgh. Easy walk from the train station, and close to Edinburgh Castle, Holyrood Palace, Royal Mile, etc. No meals served in the hotel, but you did get a discount for meals at very good restaurant and pub just across the street. My room and private bath were quite nice, and very clean. I was able to send out my laundry in the morning and have it back that evening.

    We loved our stay at the Virgin Atlantic in Edinburgh. This hotel is in the heart of the tourist area making it an excellent location. We were a few minutes walk to the castle and the Royal Mile. The staff were attentive and went out of their way to ensure that we were comfortable. Nothing was too much trouble. Special thanks to Stephanie, she was outstanding, very attentive and she took care of all our our needs. The room was clean and beautiful and such a comfy bed. I highly recommend.

    The apartment was great, and very well equipped for self catering if we had wanted that. It was clean and the beds comfortable. For two nights it was well-placed for exploring Edinburgh, being pretty central and a 10-15 minute walk from the castle and royal mile. It had car parking which was really useful, as we were on a road trip and Edinburgh was a stop along the way.

    The Brewers Rooms Contemporary Aparthotel was in an excellent location and just a short walk to the Royal Mile, Victoria Street, and Edinburgh Castle. The apartment was a good size with two bedrooms, commons space, and bathroom; it was clean and had a cute little kitchenette. The Altido management group was always available and responded quickly if we needed anything. Of note-They do use a keyless entry with your phone, so having a phone with data is helpful.
