How this review was built Evidence, sources, refresh cadence
- Evidence: 1 pet-mention guest review sourced from major booking platforms - guests who explicitly mentioned travelling with a dog. Each review is screened for pet-relevance, then judged for sentiment to compute the paw rating.
- Not a personal visit. We don't stay at every hotel we cover - we summarise patterns from real guest reviews, paraphrased and never quoted verbatim. Full standard on our editorial policy page.
- Wider context: The property has 25 guest reviews overall across booking platforms, averaging 9.0/10 - the paw rating reflects only the pet-mentioning subset.
- Last refreshed: August 2026. Policies and pricing drift; we re-check on a rolling basis. Confirm specifics with the property at the moment you book.
- How the paw rating works: Full detail on the methodology page, including the three verification gates and known limitations.

Pet-friendly summary
Arthur's Seat View is a simple self-catering flat on Royal Park Terrace in Edinburgh, and its pitch to anyone travelling with a dog is the address. Holyrood Park starts at the end of the street, so the climb up Arthur's Seat, the loch paths and a lot of open grass are all reachable without getting in the car, which is rare in a city where a dog-friendly flat usually means a walk to find any green space at all.
Dogs stay free, with no pet fee charged, and the flat regularly takes them. The living space is the strong point: a big kitchen and a generous lounge with high ceilings and enough room for a family, which is where most of the praise goes. It is a first-floor flat reached by a shared stair rather than a private entrance, so it works better for a calm, settled dog than one that reacts to neighbours coming and going.
The honest caveats are about finish and housekeeping rather than the dog welcome. Bedding has been described as thin and the bunk mattresses hard, and dog hair has been found on bunk linen after it was washed, which is worth knowing if anyone in the party is allergic or simply particular. Communication over keys and the exact address has been patchy, and plumbing problems have been reported. Treat it as a functional, well-located base rather than a polished one.
It suits a dog owner who wants an affordable Edinburgh base within a couple of minutes of proper open space, and who cares more about the location and the size of the rooms than about hotel-standard finishing.
