I stayed in the Painters Studio at the Rock House for 3 nights while touring Edinburgh. It is absolutely charming and in a great location. The rooms were clean and well appointed. Don't let the angry hot water faucet bother you - the hot water works. Marco was very responsive and answered every question I had immediately. Highly recommended!

We had the terrace apartment.A beautiful accommodation very close to the city center and very easy to reach.Very quaintly furnished, very suitable for Edinburgh, with everything you need. Beds comfortable, kitchen all there even with a washing machine and just pleasant.Access is not barrier-free, everything is done via code.

I stayed in through Verbo. It is also available on air bnb. I rented the studio and loved the appearance of it. Wonderful view of the cemetery out of the kitchen window. The shower was god awful though. Incredibly tiny. I was very cold at first, but if you go into the closet under the stairs you can increase the gas so you get more heat. It was kinda messed up how the owners turned it down so low during the winter.

This charming photographer’s studio was located at the foot of Calton Hill, close to Waverly Station and an easy walk to Edinburgh Castle. It was the perfect place to stay while visiting Edinburgh.

Had a fantastic time here for my sixtieth birthday with our family. A wonderfully quirky house with a lovely garden and a brilliant location on the side of Carlton Hill. Close to Waverley Station but no parking
