Would love to give this a positive review but..the fact it doesn’t have air conditioning impacted our stay greatly, making “sleep” very uncomfortable and our time in Edinburgh less enjoyable. Having a small child we carried a monitor which showed the room’s temperature at 30 degrees. The floors are extremely creaky (2 bed 2 bath apartment) so you’re very aware if you have children sleeping. The apartment is a decent size and the location is very central but the windows are thin so can hear a lot, oh and part of the window frame came apart but was “fixed” by reception.

Perfect!

Exceeded our expectations. We were worried as we booked a windowless room at basement level. It was large, bright and spotlessly clean so didn’t feel at all claustrophobic. It was also very quiet so never disturbed at night. The apartment was very well equipped and all you need for a self-catering trip.

The fact that after 18:00 there was no one in reception wasn't great and the fact that if we wanted some cleaning in the room we would be charged extra wasn't great either specially since we paid a lot for the room

very nice inside. when desk inside manned, staff very helpful. But desk often not manned and customer service very unhelpful. Took 3 hours for online checkin. Fire alarm kept going off randomly including early in morning and no one on desk so all residents standing around downstairs not knowing what to do. Main problem that property managed from afar (overseas) and this does not provide good customer service.

Great place to stay

This is a great place to stay in the heart of Edinburgh. Staff were helpful and friendly. Apartment was spotless. Only a few niggles…… one of the toilet seats needed tightening, there is no microwave and no drawer storage at all which if sorted, would have made the stay perfect.
