Traveller reviews
Tracy Hegarty “memorable and truly unique with the magic of Edinburgh in every view”
15 Apr 2026
everything. great space and the most unique of all settings - fab with cafe restaurant and magical views from every window - unique setting and locking of gates after 10pm needs an extra key for some later night guests
ROBSON “Cosy place! Best view of the city!”
09 Jan 2026
The house is at a strategic point (and there is a reason for this). In the past it was the second most important house in the city. The security governor lived there! Anyway, a place with incredible energy.. if you want to live a little bit of the past added with an incredible experience this is the place!
Márton “Very good”
18 Nov 2025
Perfect location for sightseeing. Everything is close enough, we didn't have to waste time on transportation, easy, just walk everywhere. Beautiful sight day and night from around the apartment. The bathroom and kitchen are exceptional, fully equipped and modern.
Robert “Very beautiful apartment if you can deal with the public being very close to the house.”

The Observatory Apartment was positioned in a very nice location close to all the main areas of Edinburgh however you do have abit of a hike to get to the apartment, but was worth it as you got good views from all areas of the apartment, all of the cutlery and crockery was nice and clean, the apartment was very clean, I really liked the old characteristics of the apartment, the bed is two single beds pushed together, which was great for me and my brother so we could seperate them and extra covers were provided as well, which was great my favourite parts of the apartment, was definitely the bathroom, and I did really like the relaxing room too i just wish i brought some Vinly's with me for the Vinly player, but all areas of the apartment were very nice, very beautiful apartment, we were lucky though because above the apartment is the Observatory house, so if you get a very loud family you will be able to hear everything even them walking which may put some people off especially since their is a flight of stairs that lead to a locked room of the Observatory house, however we had nobody in the Observatory house until the last 2 days of our stay, but they were quiet.
