Great location in the old town. Staff were amazing, helpful and happy. Rooms were exceptionally comfortable and included breakfast was brilliant. Meals were good and outside deck for an afternoon drink very enjoyable. Would definitely stay here again - been travelling for 7 weeks and best property we have stayed at.

A very well appointed apartment hotel in a quiet but central location. Good facilities including a kitchenette and washing machine. Reasonably spacious layout for a studio apartment. Large well designed bathroom with plenty of storage space. My only criticism was that the wooden floor felt a bit sticky underfoot as though it needed a good wash and when i looked under the bed to retreive a dropped item there was a build up of dust. Friendly young staff.

I love a quirky hotel, i.e., not the same tired layout for every room. This hotel is quirky, and does it with style and class. Amazing staff too - they're evidently proud of the place. Recommend.

Absolutely perfect experience. The two bedroom appt was perfect for our needs and was palatial compared to London. Super comfy beds and amenities. Perfectly located on the royal mile, just a few mins walk directly to the castle. Blew away our expectations, was the best hotel we stayed in during our 5 week trip around the UK.

Just stayed 4 nights at Roomzzz. The rooms are lovely, modern and well appointed. The kitchen and appliances are great. The fridge is a decent size too. The staff are super helpful and it was great that the desk is staffed 24/7.
Laundry is located on two levels, they sell laundry pods at the front desk for 50p which is so handy. The front desk also sells some basic grocery items which is also convenient. Would definitely stay here again!

The staff went above and beyond to make my stay comfortable and enjoyable—truly some of the most welcoming and attentive people I’ve ever encountered. Special shoutout to Jules (true Aussie), who absolutely rocks and made everything even better with her friendly and professional demeanor.
