About
33 Castle Terrace
33 Castle Terrace is a small aparthotel set on a quiet street in the heart of Edinburgh, roughly a five-minute walk from both Edinburgh Castle and Princes Street Gardens. With only seven rooms, it offers a more intimate stay than a typical hotel, and each apartment comes with a living area, a kitchenette, and either garden or city views.
Guests consistently praise the spaciousness and natural light of the apartments, as well as the convenient location for exploring the Old Town and Grassmarket. The building includes soundproofed rooms, tea and coffee facilities, and a washing machine in each unit, making it a practical choice for longer stays or families.

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Small scale limits choice — With only seven rooms and three apartment types, availability is limited and you may not find your preferred configuration for your dates.
- Check-out at 10:00 — Check-out is at 10:00, which is earlier than many hotels and may feel rushed if you prefer a leisurely morning.
- Inconsistent service rating — While service is rated highly overall, the staff rating (8.7) is slightly below the general rating, and one review mentions communication as 'easy' but does not elaborate on any issues.
- Price point for the class — From £641 per night, this aparthotel commands a premium that may not suit all budgets, especially given the limited facilities compared to larger hotels.
