Dear LauraS14878, Thanks for taking the time to review your stay with us. I am delighted that you enjoyed your stay with us. We opened in December as a brand new aparthotel, it is lovely getting a review taking us back to these memories of the opening. It is great to hear that you enjoyed the location, we are very lucky to be on the street directly below the castle with such amazing views. The hotel gardens and courtyard used to be the stable yard for Edinburgh Castle and at night it is lit up, and the places are marked in the gardens where competitions used to take place. The location works well as it is a lovely quiet street on the edge of the Grassmarket. Guests can walk along to the stairs leading up to the castle or along the street to the many bars and restaurants of the Grassmarket. I am delighted that you enjoyed Edinburgh's Christmas celebrations during your visit and that the location worked well for this. We look forward to welcoming you back again soon to Wilde by Staycity. Best wishes, Lindsay, Operations Manager
