The apartment was stunning. Charming, cozy, and very clean. Excellent location, a few steps from the Royal Mile and main attractions in Old town. Lovely stay.

Great convenience and nice apartment. It was very noisy above us and also on the street
2.5 / 5.0
Really lovely space & location. Even though the festival was in mid flow, the road is relatively quiet and we were not disturbed. No microwave & mezzanine bed a little warm in summer, but otherwise perfect!

Very convenient, steps away from the royal mile. Perfect location, clean and modern
5.0 / 5.0
Awesome location. Close to dozens of good restaurants and bars. Enjoyed the size of the room because everyone had their own space to relax and unwind. The area felt very secure and easy walking distance from most inner city attractions. I will use Linton again on our next Edinburgh vacation

Great location. Beautiful comfortable space. There is no lift, but it's not the end of the world.

We selected this place because it looked different/interesting compared to trying to get "just another hotel". It was more like a rented apartment, with all of those amenities (washer/dryer, kitchenette, etc), which was amazing! I don't think the unit we got was what was in the photos, but it makes sense as it's a building of ~10 units that you are assigned from. Getting into the unit couldn't have been easier - it was secure but completely self-serve. It was also amazing that there is secure storage for luggage if you arrive or stay later than check in/out times.
5.0 / 5.0
Such a good find. You stay right off the royal mile and you have so much space. The property communicated up to the minute of our check in with the access information. So easy. Clean and we would definitely recommend this to everyone.

Perfect central location to explore Edinburgh. The loft is charming and all needs/comforfa were met wonderfully. Will definitely stay for future visits! PS—-bring your teenagers to carry the luggage or be sure to pack light. Rookie American mistake🎉

This property was just awesome. The architecture was charming. It was clean and easy to access all of the local sites. Lots of space! Communication with management was absolutely outstanding. I would recommend this lodging and return in a heartbeat!
5.0 / 5.0
Wow…couldn’t have been nicer. We stayed in apt 8 on the top floor & it looked just like it did in the pictures. Located steps from the Royal mile at about the mid point between Holyrod and Edinburgh castle. About a 10-12 minute walk from Waverly train station. Apartment had all of the amenities you could need including washer/dryer combo. Loved freedom of keyless entry. Be aware that there are many steps at this facility but you will find that steps are everywhere in Old town of Edinburgh. Bedroom is in loft up narrow staircase but there are handrails. We opted to leave suitcases in living area rather trying to bring upstairs. There are many places to eat in the area as well as Mini grocery & Pharmacy near by. Be sure to eat at least once at Maskar Gormet Mash. It’s about an 8 minute walk but so worth it!
2.5 / 5.0
We had a long weekend here in December and the apartment was beautiful, full of character, clean & comfy.
Close enough to be a minutes walk from the center, but far enough away to not have any noise from the main drag.
Would definitely stay again.
4.0 / 5.0
A perfect location, steps from the Mile and 5 min walk to the train station (clean, safe area).
Loved the ability to wash some clothes, but had to pick up detergent at the store. Also, the sound insulation between floors is lacking.

Amazing. Brilliant loft apartment. Spacious and light. Def will be back!
5.0 / 5.0
Very nice property in an excellent location. Was just as the pictures showed. Communication for check-in and check-out was great. Be advised the loft windows do not all have blinds so it might stay pretty bright in the summer, but in January it wasn’t a problem.
5.0 / 5.0
The property was immaculate and beautifully maintained. The location was perfect, right off the Royal Mile! Highly recommend.
2.5 / 5.0
Ideal apartment, located centrally with all facilities provided. Very comfortable and would definitely recommend. Only consideration is for those who cannot manage stairs as there are a few if you are at top of building.
2.5 / 5.0
Hidden gem in the middle of everything. Clean, quiet, well designed space with all the comforts of an apartment. We travelled with family and stayed in the 2 bed/2 bath. Lots of room for everyone and never felt crowded. Pubs, shops, groceries, christmas market and castle all within walking distance. The staff were professional, kind and responsive to any inquiry. All around a wonderful stay in Edinburg.

Excellent all around. The location was top notch. The property was both pet AND comfortable. And stocked with my favorite tea!
5.0 / 5.0
Really the most lovely place for a family to settle down, have a kitchen, and be really close to the Royal Mile. Just remember, no lift. Highly recommend and would happily return.
2.5 / 5.0
Everything was as presented: clean, well maintained, great location, easy access. Appliances are in great condition and instructions for use are very well put together. Recommendations provided were great, food at the 3 Bind Mice was outstanding (had to go twice). Rental unit was stunning and would re-book as well as recommend without hesitation. One suggestion for improvement, if there is some way to simplify the process for parking discount. The discount is a huge benefit and we were not able to take advantage of it every day because sometimes there is no attendant at the parking garage. This would in no way make us think twice about visiting again, just an opportunity to improve (a discount code to use on keypad when paying or a card to scan…?). Please book with no hesitation and definitely try the pizza at 3 Blind Mice while visiting. Oh and the toiletries and the beautiful scent throughout the apartment! Also the property management team checked in half way through our stay to ask if we needed anything.

Great stay in a really unique location. Large rooms in a converted church right in the center of the action, literally almost at the halfway point of the Royal Mile. Easy to get a cab or uber anywhere, but most of the main sites were within easy walking distance - Castle, Holyrood Palace, Victoria Street, Grassmarket, St. Giles, etc. all within steps of the hotel. Great restaurant options around. This place is not a hotel, it's an apartment, you won't have daily room service and as long as you are aware of that going in, the value per room can't be beat. It was beyond great having a washer/dryer in the room and it was super cozy to come home to after a long day out exploring. We stayed in room 4 and 8, one directly above the other. Take the extra steps to 8 and you can wake up to a magnificent view of Arthur's Seat every morning while sipping coffee or tea on the very comfortable couch.

Check in and check out worked seamlessly even with no one on site. Location is fabulous; a half block from The Royal Mile and walking distance from the train station. The unit met all our expectations and provided us with a great environment to rest up between sightseeing and dining.

a little bit tired, beds are queen for a smurf, for me was at most a double bed…good location
2.0 / 5.0
Loved the location and ease of getting in & out. The loft bed was a little harder to navigate, but we got used to it. Only 3 hangers in the closet upon arrival, but more were brought quickly when requested. Would definitely return. Two requests though - please include luggage racks in the apartment and find a way for a hair dryer to be used either in the bathroom or in front of a mirror. Great overall stay!

5.0 / 5.0
Safe, clean, well appointed accommodations, very centrally located in the Old Town. Our family enjoyed our stay here and how easy it was to see Edinburgh.
4.0 / 5.0
Really liked the vibe, overall. Studio apartment space in Old Town Edinburgh, close to a lot of cool stuff. Overall, very solid.
The only thing I'm going to call out is the bed. Tiny little double bed in a loft at the top of some narrow stairs. Little step up on the left side (but not the right because just at the top of the stairs). Really, really a pain to get in and out of bed.
Otherwise, solid.
5.0 / 5.0
Perfectly centrally located just off the royal mile, one block from north bridge with easy access to bus routes. Well stocked, clean, and perfect for our needs. Our loft had a washer/dryer, so we were able to pack in just a carry-on. Serviced by housekeeping 2 times during our 10 day stay, which was perfect. Beautiful architecture, very comfortable bed, nicely updated and modern, huge walk-in shower, great view of Arthur's seat from our window, and easy to find. Highly recommend!!! The only possible downside was we were on the top floor (3rd floor) and there was no elevator, it didn't bother us but if someone has mobility issues it may cause a problem.
5.0 / 5.0
Staying here, you are literally steps to the Royal Mile.
The apartment is well stocked with all the necessities, and is very well kept.
And the price point was great! For other hotels, you were paying more, and receiving less.
If I'm ever back in Edinburgh, this is the first place on my list I'll be wanting to stay at
