From the manager

St Giles Street is B-listed (a building of importance to national heritage) in the Conservation area of the Royal Mile. This third floor apartment commands a prestigious position on the corner of St Giles Street and The Royal Mile. It provides astounding views of the adjacent St Giles Cathedral and up the Lawnmarket (top end of the Royal Mile) to Edinburgh Castle, 250 metres away.

The apartment is only a few minutes walk from many other major Edinburgh attractions such as the Royal Scottish Museum and the National Gallery of Scotland. There is also a copious amount of bars, restaurants, cafes and shops in the immediate area. This apartment is furnished and decorated to a high standard and is a very comfortable base for your visit to Edinburgh and Scotland.

LOUNGE/DRAWING ROOM

This is a wonderful south facing corner room with four large windows providing marvellous views of the Royal Mile and the square outside St Giles Cathedral. The room consists of two sofas (one of which converts to a comfortable double bed), a dining table suitable for four people. A beautiful non functioning Victorian fireplace adds character to the room. A widescreen TV is available for entertainment. Guests who have a laptop can also enjoy a free broadband connection either through the supplied cable or by wifi.

BEDROOM

This is a lovely double bedroom with a window overlooking St Giles Street. A 5ft wide (150 cm) kingsize with two bedside tables, a large built in wardrobe and chest of drawers provide ample storage space for your possessions.

KITCHEN

The kitchen has a large light window overlooking St Giles Street and is equipped with cutlery & crockery for up to four people.

SHOWER ROOM

Walk-in shower

1 x kingsize double, 1 x sofabed in the lounge (please advise if required if only 2 guest)

This property is not suitable for anyone who has difficulty navigating stairs as there are many of them to get to the third floor and there is no lift within this historic building.

Response from the manager
Thank you for leaving a review for St Giles and that there were aspects which you enjoyed. It is unusual for guests to comment on noise as the secondary glazing in the apartment usually removes any noise pollution, perhaps the secondary glazing was inadvertently open because has it been warm recently?
