Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Princes Street Suites are frequently praised for their exceptionally spacious apartments, complete with fully equipped kitchens, including a washing machine, oven, and even a toaster, making them ideal for longer stays. The hotel's superb location places guests within easy walking distance of the train station, bus stops, and major attractions like Calton Hill, and a shopping center is just steps away. While most find the apartments immaculate, a few guests have occasionally mentioned some noise from the hallway. Overall, the location and apartment size are greatly appreciated.

fresh towels comfortable bedding spacious apartment
Our room cleaning was done daily, and the fresh towels were really appreciated. The provided bed linens and pillows added to the comfort of my stay. I found the apartment spacious (especially helpful when traveling).
The absence of an elevator caused some minor inconvenience when transporting luggage.
