How this review was built Evidence, sources, refresh cadence
  • Evidence: 1 pet-mention guest review sourced from Agoda — 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 3,336 Agoda guest reviews overall, averaging 9.0/10 — the paw rating reflects only the pet-mentioning subset.
  • Last refreshed: June 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 policy at a glance

  • Dogs specifically listed as allowed; confirm directly for non-canine pets.

Pet-friendly summary

Princes Street Suites is one of the most central pet-friendly stays in Edinburgh, sitting at 16 Waterloo Place at the eastern end of Princes Street - right at the foot of Calton Hill. The serviced-apartment format (37 units rather than a traditional hotel) gives travellers more space, a kitchenette, and a quieter base for pets between outings.

The location is a real strength for dog owners. Calton Hill is on the doorstep for short walks with panoramic views, Holyrood Park is a ten-minute stroll east, and Waverley Station is around the corner - useful if you're arriving by train with your dog. The wider New Town and Royal Mile are within easy walking distance.

The single confirmed pet-traveller review describes friendly, welcoming staff and that strong central location. Across all 363 Agoda reviews the property averages 8.9/10, so the broader signal on quality is consistently good - though pet-specific feedback is currently limited to that one stay. The pet policy itself is unusually detailed for Edinburgh: a £35 per pet, per night supplement, service animals explicitly welcomed, and a clear rule that pets cannot be left unattended in the apartments.

Best suited to dog owners who want a central Edinburgh base with apartment-style space and kitchen facilities for managing their dog's meals. Note the per-night pet supplement when budgeting for longer stays. Earns a 5.0/5 paw rating from a single confirmed pet stay.
