About this apartment rental

'Hopetoun Grande' is a bright, spacious and fully refurbished three bedroom apartment with great big Georgian windows and high ceilings right in the centre of town. Within walking distance to the Playhouse theatre, high street, Botanical Gardens, train station and tram.

An elegant apartment with a vast area of 180 sq.m/2000 sq. ft. situated on the third floor of a beautiful Georgian building located in the heart of Edinburgh City. Completely refurbished in 2015, this large penthouse offers 5-star self-catering accommodation in one of Europe's most visited cities. All the common areas and rooms are generously proportioned with large windows that bring in a lot of light giving a sense of space and brightness all around.

Two of the three bedrooms have superking-size beds and the third bedroom is a special handmade four poster king-size bed. The bathrooms have been done in Italian Marble, granite worktops and provide a feeling of real luxury to the senses. The larger bathroom has a jacuzzi bath and a walk-in shower and the smaller bathroom has a power shower within an enclosure with a skylight. The quality of bedlinen and towels match that of any five star hotel.

The kitchen is large with earthy wooden kitchen cabinets and granite work surfaces and state of the art fridge, freezer, gas hob, grill, oven, inbuilt dishwasher and washing machine and microwave. It is a pleasure to spend time in the kitchen either to cook or to gaze out of the window at the twinkling lights of Fife across the sea at night.

The beautiful dining-drawing room with its large windows yet private space is a wonderful place to relax, chat and have a meal. Whilst the dining table seats 8, there is also a cosy seat of 4 at a round Mahogany table in the hall/reception room.

At this apartment you will find yourself in a place full of character, surrounded with period charm yet decorated tastefully in modern style.

By choosing our penthouse you are choosing five-star self-catering accommodation in an excellent location that is close to tourist attractions, great shopping, restaurants and theatre. Its a great place to enjoy a holiday with family or friends alike and will undoubtedly add to your experience of this incredible city.

Please note that check in time is from 3pm and checkout time is 11am.

My family and I loved our stay at this large penthouse conveniently located in Edinburgh. We walked to all of the key areas of the city from this property. Also a short walk from the tram / trolly that takes you to and from the airport.

The home is definitely charming and has a lot of character but given the age, it needs a little work. The wooden floorboards had nails coming up, boards that were moving up if you stepped on them, potentially could be unsafe if we stepped on either. The home also smelled of dust and age. The stairway going up to the 3rd floor is narrow, spiral, and dark. The listing failed to mention that the staircase was not fit for someone of age or disability. One of the bedrooms has two small beds with slightly disturbing decor. I understand this is someone’s home, but needs to be updated properly if renting out property to others.

This apartment is in a great location of you don't want to be right in the centre of Edinburgh but withing walking distance of everything and plenty of restaurants etc. The only downs are the three flights of stairs of you're less able, the noise from the road in one bedroom due to being on a bus route, and that one of the showers was out of order at the time which I hadn't been made aware of to my knowledge, so showering 8 guests was tricky. The positives are that the kitchen was stocked with lots of essentials and is well equipped for most dishes to be cooked, the beds were clean and comfy and the heating and hot water system is great. We enjoyed our stay thoroughly in this spacious apartment.

One quick note about this apartment: it’s on the top floor of a winding staircase, so if you have any mobility issues it might not be for you. That said, it’s a beautiful place in a great location! Lots of pubs and restaurants nearby with easy access to the tram and buses to get into the heart of Edinburgh! Charul and Martin do a great job reaching out to make your stay comfortable. Would definitely recommend as a home base to explore Edinburgh!

Clean, lots of room, quiet but just off main street with trams and buses. Easy downhill walk from the train station, and close to food and drinks. Must be reasonably fit to manage 72 steps to the third floor but we did it with toddlers and grandparents. Owners responded quickly to a minor issue. Only watch out are the huge old windows that, if opened, would be a safety concern with children. We had cool weather typical for the area and had the windows securely locked. Plenty of kitchen essentials and a nice big table for the whole gang. Loved the historic vibe.

We have made several trips to Scotland dating back to the early 90's. We previously stayed at a family B&B in Dunbar on each of those trips. The owners retired so we looked for a location in Edinburgh that was within walking distance of Waverly Station. This was the perfect location. The accommodations were excellent in a classic Edinburgh neighborhood. Beds, baths, kitchen, living room were great. An historic apartment setting. I appreciated the owners telling the story of the building, the apartment and the neighborhood down through the years. The owners pride for this apartment yielded a great place for us to stay. We only had one question during our stay to which the owners quickly responded. While we love walking and do a lot of it each day. We did find the Edinburgh tram system is awesome. Easy to catch a block away from the apartment. Plenty of good places to eat in the surrounding blocks. A perfect Edinburgh for our family. Mike
