Incredible St Andrew’s Sq – 2 bed in the sky Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Incredible St Andrew’s Sq – 2 bed in the sky, you immediately understand why this four-star property has such devoted fans. The building sits right on North Saint Andrew Street, and honestly, the location alone makes you feel like you’ve scored something special. I mean, you’re literally steps from some of Edinburgh’s most coveted real estate — the kind of spot where locals actually want to live, not just where tourists get shuffled.

The Space

This isn’t your typical hotel room situation. You’re getting a proper two-bedroom apartment that feels more like borrowing a friend’s incredibly well-appointed city pad. The “in the sky” part of the name isn’t just marketing fluff — the views actually deliver, especially if you snag one of the higher floors. The layout works brilliantly for couples (which explains why they rate this place so highly), but it’s also perfect if you’re traveling with friends who don’t want to be on top of each other 24/7. The kitchen is functional enough that you could actually cook if you wanted to, though with Edinburgh’s food scene right outside your door, you probably won’t.

Location Magic

Here’s what you need to know about St Andrew Square — it’s genuinely one of those locations that makes everything else easier. That 9.8 location score isn’t just numbers on a screen; it reflects the reality that you can walk to Princes Street in about three minutes, hit the Royal Mile without breaking a sweat, and access some of the city’s best restaurants without ever needing transport. The square itself has this lovely Georgian elegance that makes you feel properly Edinburgh-ish, and there’s something satisfying about staying somewhere that locals actually recognize as prime territory.

The Edinburgh Advantage

What I really appreciate about this place is how it positions you in the city. You’re not stuck in some tourist bubble — you’re actually in New Town, which means you get to experience Edinburgh the way people who live here do. The morning coffee runs feel authentic, the evening strolls don’t require a map, and when friends ask where you’re staying, you can name-drop an address that gets approving nods. During festival season (and let’s be honest, there’s always some festival happening), this location becomes even more valuable since you can easily escape the crowds when you need a breather.

Why Guests Love It

The 8.8 rating tells the real story here — this is the kind of place that exceeds expectations without trying too hard. Couples keep coming back because it offers that sweet spot of upscale comfort and authentic Edinburgh living. You get the space and privacy of an apartment with the reliability and service standards of a well-run hotel. Plus, there’s something genuinely satisfying about staying somewhere that feels like a local secret, even though it’s perfectly accessible to visitors. It’s Edinburgh accommodation done right — no fuss, just quality in exactly the right spot.
