Princes Street Suites Review
Comprising 36 rooms, the 4-star Princes Street Suites is set near the entertainment district of Edinburgh, only 1.1 km from the ruined Holyrood Abbey. Moreover, this Edinburgh aparthotel also provides guests with live performances, a terrace and a garden.
A continental breakfast is served each morning at the Princes Street Suites. Guests are welcome to a snack bar on site. You can enjoy a Scottish cuisine in the The Newsroom located next to the elegant property.
The elegant luxurious property is notable for the enviable location only a short drive from Edinburgh Waverley train station, and offers access to The Real Mary King's Close, which is only 0.7 km away. Arthur's Seat hike is within 10 minutes' drive of the Princes Street Suites Edinburgh, while Omni Centre and the Thistle chapel "St Giles' Cathedral" are both nearby.
Feel in total harmony with nature by visiting Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh, only 1.9 km from the accommodation.
Some of the air-conditioned rooms comprise a mini-kitchen and a dining area, and are furnished with a sofa set and a writing desk. A separate toilet, together with such amenities as hairdryers and towels, are also at guests' disposal. Certain units offer views of the castle. Additionally, self-catering facilities in a studio med queen size-säng include a kitchenette with an electric kettle, refrigerators and an oven.
Situated in the heart of Edinburgh, Princes Street Suites is close to Waterloo Place bus stop.
There is a gym facility at the hotel.
Impressions
Princes Street Suites had me at "welcome drink"! As a gastronomic enthusiast, nothing feels more indulgent than checking into a hotel and being greeted with a complimentary drink. It sets the tone for a delightful stay, and Princes Street Suites certainly knows how to make its guests feel special from the get-go. The 24-hour reception also stood out to me - it's a clear sign that they value the experience and comfort of their visitors. From late-night check-ins to early morning departures, knowing that a warm welcome awaits at any hour is a game-changer.
Additionally, the inclusion of a snack bar and a flat-screen TV in the suite truly elevates the gastronomic experience. After a day of exploring the culinary wonders of Edinburgh, returning to the suite for a cozy evening with a snack and some entertainment makes the whole trip feel complete. I also appreciated the presence of a fully equipped kitchen with cookware and utensils. For foodies who love to dabble in a bit of cooking while traveling, having the option to whip up a quick dish with local ingredients is a fantastic touch. The electric kettle is ideal for brewing up a comforting cup of tea or coffee to savor while taking in the city views from the suite.
Lastly, the VIP check-in and check-out service grabbed my attention. It's that extra touch of luxury that adds to the overall experience. And the fact that pets are allowed is a huge bonus! Being able to share a gastronomic adventure with a furry friend makes the trip even more memorable. And of course, the no-smoking policy on-site ensures that the air is as fresh and inviting as the dining experiences awaiting just beyond the hotel doors.
In summary, the Princes Street Suites has all the ingredients for a luxurious and gastronomically satisfying stay in Edinburgh. From the VIP treatment to the pet-friendly policy, every detail has been thoughtfully crafted to enhance the overall experience for food-loving travelers like myself.
