About this property

The Edinburgh Rooftop Terrace

This stunning central Edinburgh apartment is one of the city's most unique stays with unrivalled views of Edinburgh Castle on your own private South facing terrace.

The apartment is located in the heart of the city on Rose Street and ideal if you want to explore the city or relax in the sunshine all day on your very own large private terrace.

"This is THE place to stay in Edinburgh! It was newly remodeled and beyond comfortable with everything you could possibly need. This flat had killer views of Edinburgh castle and was literally a skip away from tons of great pubs and restaurants. I cannot wait to come back and if this fabulous place isn’t booked up, it will be my go to!" Julia - June 2021

"Absolutely loved our time at this property. The apartment is better than the pictures and is perfectly located. The living area is modern and allows you chill when you want a break from seeing the city. Lloyd made us feel welcome and we knew he was only a message away. Definitely looking at booking this place again the next time we visit Edinburgh" Thomas - July 2021

The apartment is in a fabulous central location, a stones throw from Princes Street and George Street. You are in the most central Edinburgh location with all of Edinburgh's best restaurants, cafes and bars right on your doorstep. This apartment is one of the only flats in central Edinburgh with a private terrace, boasting perfect views of Edinburgh Castle. The terrace is south facing which sees the sun all day, perfect for those days where you want to soak up the sun after seeing the sights of Edinburgh.

During the festival and Hogmanay, you are right at the heart of all the action. All of Edinburgh's best festival spots are within meters of your doorstep and the views of the Edinburgh Castle fireworks display are unrivalled. The apartment is accessed on Rose Street.

The apartment has 3 beds, 1 double and 2 single beds. Each room has storage for clothing or bags. The apartment would be an ideal base for a city break, family fun, romantic getaway as well as the business traveller.

The lounge is extremely bright and airy with a double sofa, coffee table and gas log burning stove which heats the room up very quickly on this cozy Scottish nights in. There is a flat screen TV with Freeview TV & Netflix. The Apartment also includes free wi-fi for personal use.

The bathroom has a bath with shower over, toilet, wash handbasin and a heated towel rail. Linen and towels are provided with complimentary shampoo and shower gel.

The kitchen is equipped with all you would need if you choose to eat in, with basic foodstuffs like salt and pepper and cooking oil supplied. Coffee, tea, sugar and milk is provided to help you settle in.

There are lots of small supermarkets just around the corner which stock a good variety of food and groceries. Meters from the apartment there are lots of friendly breakfast cafes that also serves delicious lunches and teas. We will recommend our personal favourites in your Welcome Pack on arrival.

Getting to the apartment couldn't be easier having a Tram stop 200m from the front door and bus stops even less than that coming from the airport and train stations.

There is parking in metered pay bays close to the apartment and they are free from 18.30 each night until 08.30 in the morning and from 18.30 on Saturday night through to 12.30 Sunday morning. During the day you can pay to park in these bays or use the multi story car park nearby on Castle Terrace/King Stables Road.

Best place to stay in all of Edinburgh!

This place is truly magical! The location is unbeatable. The castle views from the terrace are absolutely gorgeous, day and night. Very comfortable and clean, perfect for small families. Offers everything you need, including Nespresso! It is in the heard of town, so there will be city noises into the evening, but nothing that white noise didn’t cover up! Highly, highly recommend staying here… hoping that we will be back someday!

What a fantastic stay in Edinburgh. The place is perfectly located and makes it easy to get around the city. Apartment is comfy & cozy on a cold winters night - we so enjoyed the view of the castle cozied up by the fireplace. Host was incredibly responsive to our needs. Definitely recommend.

Perfect Location and Amazing Views

This listing is exactly as pictured on the site. The apartment is in a very cool part of old-town, a bit outside the main tourist areas to avoid the crowds, but close enough to everything. We found the local pubs and restaurants to be the best in the city. The deck is amazing, and the castle views can't be beat! It is on the third floor up the stairs, but that is typical for these apartments and was not an issue for us. The views are worth it! Beds were very comfortable and we slept very well. We would absolutely stay here again if we return to Edinburgh!

Centrally located - Amazing hosts!

We are still gushing about how wonderful our stay was. Unforgettable location, top-notch hosts, and comfortable accommodations. The view is incredible and the flat is surprisingly quiet despite the location. If I could give it more than 5 stars, I would!

Absolute Best Stay in Edinburgh

I cannot go on enough about this gem of an apartment. Rose Street itself is such a treat, but to have it as your base is a dream! The apartment itself was super clean, well appointed and quaint. We did not want to leave. Not gonna lie…the stairs to the apartment were a challenge for my old body, but very much worth it!!!

Great stay in Edinburgh

Our family of 4 thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Edinburgh Rooftop Terrace. Communication with the owner was exceptional. Lloyd reached out to us, to make sure we were in good shape accessing the property and to let us know he was available for any questions. The property was perfect for our brief stay in Edinburgh, along a pedestrian street with many pubs and shops. There are several grocery shops nearby as well. The view of the castle from the terrace is stunning! We were able to walk to all the sites we planned to visit and many restaurants. We would certainly stay here again!

Fantastic property & location with the roof terrace being the star of the show. South facing so if you get the weather like we managed it is a real bonus to be sitting in the sun right in the heart of Edinburgh.

Fantastic apartment in the perfect location

A great property with awesome views right in the heart of the city. We had a lovely week in the apartment- absolutely perfect for a family with older teenagers. It was so nice to not get in the car for a few days and simply explore all the city has to offer on foot. Everything is kitted out well, the terrace was cool - a superb space to chill and soak up the atmosphere all around. Great communication and warm welcome from Lloyd too. Definitely the place to stay to enjoy a relaxing and comfortable city break at any time of the year.
