We had a lovely stay at the Linton Collection Apartments over Christmas. This was our third year spending Christmas here and once again we loved it. The location is ideal, just off the Royal Mile, and the apartment had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay — it really was a perfect Christmas.
We were especially grateful that the team kindly allowed us to check in and access the apartment a little earlier, which made a big difference. The only very small disappointment this time, was that we didn’t get our usual apartment facing Arthur’s Seat — something we’ll be sure to request next time. I think the wreath on the door is a lovely touch, but it would have been nice to have a small little tree inside the apartment even if it is just on the table. Overall, another wonderful stay and we look forward to returning again.

Great base for an Edinburgh adventure
This apartment was an excellent base for our trip to Edinburgh. There was plenty of room, and the full kitchen allowed us to decide when to eat out versus making something for ourselves. The combo washer/dryer also allowed for a simple clothing refresh when needed. The bedroom/loft was not ideal to access for the over 60 crowd. I would love to stay at this property during my next visit!

This loft was exactly as the description. Lovely amenities and walkable to everywhere. The only suggestion would be to have a fan in the upstairs loft part as it can get warm up there.
Loved our stay and will definitely be back!
Thank you!

Location is in the middle of old Town. Rooms are in an old Church. Very unique in design. Roomy and comfortable. We were on third floor with stairs only, no elevator, so this may not be a good choice if you can not get your bags up stairs.

This hotel is on a quiet street off the Royal Mile. It was clean, spacious, and had plenty of amenities. Access to the building was easy and it was nice they provided luggage storage after check out. I loved the property because it was and old converted church-the windows were beautiful.
