Just back from a lovely stay in these apartments, the location is perfect, right in the centre of Edinburgh but no noise. Walkable to pretty much all of the city, very helpful staff in reception. Lovely clean apartment with a nice comfy bed and tea/coffee facilities. Thanks

Great stay
Stayed 3 nights in September 2023. Staff was so nice and helpful. Showed us all of the features of the room and how to get in and out of the building. Very close to pubs, restaurants, buses, trains Royal Mile and the castle. Would absolutely recommend this hotel and it would be our first choice if e had another trip to Edinburgh.
It was perfect! Highly recommended. Spotlessly clean, easy to get to from the tram and bus lines. Very walkable and safe. Plenty of coffee shops and restaurants. Easy to get to the Royal Mile and the Castle from there.
Really nice for what I needed. Reception isn’t always manned, which was ok for me but there was another group checking on who were having problems and hadn’t noticed the phone number on the desk. Would defo go back to this apartment

Wonderful apartment in a brilliant location. Walking distance to everything in a very quiet New Town neighborhood. The only drawback was a slight miscommunication about early checkin. I emailed about very early flight arrival and asked about early checkin or luggage storage. I was advised that room may noe ready but was assured that reception opened at 8am to handle luggage storage. However, when we arrived at 9am the hotel was locked so a bit concerned. A quick email, though, and Tomasz showed up to save the day within 5 minutes. Sometimes you encounter small inconveniences when travelling but it is the staff that make all the difference. Well done you!
We booked a 1 bed apartment and it was great! Loads of space, loads of facilities provided in the room. Would stay again for sure, brilliant location etc.
Great location in a quieter areas and walkable to most things, nice apartment , good communication and easy check in, staffs are friendly and helpful.
My apartment is on the basement so if I open the windows the smokes come in from outside , I notify staffs and ask for a different apartments and it took 2 days to change to another apartment
Great stay!
I didn't experience any of the negative points that some other recent reviews brought up. Specifically, I was on the ground floor and didn't hear any street noise at night. Temperature in the room was very comfortable (although I never tried adjusting it). They were friendly to communicate with.
It's true the bed was a little short in my room, but it wasn't an issue for me. I also wish that the bedroom was hardwood as well (vs. carpet), but the carpet was in fair condition so no real problems.
Apartment was lovely with good kitchen and washer dryer. Apartment provided food for one or two breakfasts and coffee. Great neighborhood near shopping restaurants, busses and museums. Charming street off a main street.
While we were there the desk support was missing for 5 out of 7 days a few issues with bathroom: no grab bars, no mat in shower, no magnifying mirror. Would also be nice if there was full length mirror and a few shelves or drawers for clothes
