The building is located in walking distance to old town and has good amenities such as coffee maker and Nest. However, the customer support is below average and the building condition is poor. Even though the reservation page said they have elevator, but it is only available until 5th floor and they gave us a room at 6th floor. I have requested many times to change our room because we had luggage but the front desk and customer support were not helpful and rude! They kept saying it is JUST one flight of stairs... We had to carry luggage to the room and at the checkout with no assistance from the building. Overall, a poor stay at this building and do not recommend.

I originally thought that I had reserved a suite with more beds. It worked out well anyway. The suite was comfortable and pleasant. I loved looking out over the garden. We actually saw two foxes hanging out in the garden. The staff was kind and helpful.

Central location. Easy access, felt secure and safe. Apartment was clean. Down side was the fire alarm going off at 8am on Monday morning. No fault of anyone’s just a sharp Wake up call.

Great location in New Town with Old Town just few walkable minutes away. Tram & main train station nearby. Could enjoy Fringe, Tatoo, Film and Book festivals and come back to comfortable space. Loved the secret garden. Staff was friendly and went out of their way to accommodate. Will definitely stay again. Thank you Sonder Royal Garden!
