Property was comfortable and quiet - ideal for work stay. Initial communication regarding £100 deposit could have been more transparent at initial booking stage. It’s reasonable that guests wouldn’t read the entire terms of business before booking.

We had a nice two room suite. The bedroom was quite spacious, with a clean modern bathroom. The kitchenette was in a sitting room and had a fridge, microwave, toaster and kettle. The room was well-equipped for two people - breakfasts and lunches were easy to deal with. The building is in a great location. Classic stone buildings in a neighbourhood with excellent pubs and a good choice of restaurants. The train station is less than five minutes away on foot. Edinburgh castle is twenty minutes away in the other direction. It’s totally safe at night - the hotel abuts the local police station.

Safe and quiet, big roomy apartment with decent amenities in the kitchen. Good location for us as we like to walk around and I was familiar with the area, good transport if you don’t like walking. Small staff interaction was pleasant enough and we liked being able to leave our bags on the day of checkin. All the floors were sticky and made the bottom of our socks and feet black with dirt, the bathrooms weren’t that clean (there was blue cleaner in the toilet but that was the extent of the cleanliness). The towel rails would not turn off so they were scalding hot in the middle of August. It’s good for space and location but very expensive for its datedness and cleanliness!

Despite only staying for a single night, I very much enjoyed my stay. The women who helped me check in was very nice and despite having issues with the lock, fixed the issue and helped thoroughly. The room was spacious and the bed was particularly comfortable. I walked there from the city centre so it was very convenient and then I later in the evening walked to go and have dinner. Overall, I would definitely stay again!

Terrible check-in experience requesting me to pay the fee that I already paid and was discounted automatically from my card by booking the room via Expedia. Disrespectful desk staff kicking me with my family out if I wasn’t able to pay, until the manager came to say sorry and that it was already paid, and then gave us access to the room. Horrible experience since the staff don’t know their own procedures and information they share with Expedia. Even when I requested to talk with the manager the staff told that she doesn’t care about the manager because she was leaving the f.. job this month. So another reason she had to give very bad service to customers.

The location is ideal; close enough to walk to many of Edinburgh’s top sights, and just steps away from tram and bus stops, making it easy to get around the city or to the airport, or just if you don’t want to walk in the rain. The apartment-style setup is a plus, especially for longer stays. It was clean, felt safe, and included useful amenities like a washing machine (note: no dryer, but drying racks were provided). The space was quiet and well-maintained, with everything you need for a short or extended visit.

Stayed for 2 nights during a recent trip to Edinburgh. Location is good, a few minutes from Haymarket station or a 20 min walk to the Castle area. Reception staff were friendly, but we only saw them once during our stay. A warning for those on the top floor, there's no lift and it's a long way up after a day of sightseeing! The flat itself was spacious but decor was tired, scuffs and marks on the walls etc. Double bed was comfy but sofabed less so. Kitchen had everything we needed. Overall, it suited our short stay and being at the cheaper end of accommodation in the area, the quality was as expected.

Booked for 2 adults and 2 children. The children’s bed was disgusting - loose dirt left between the duvet and sheet, between the sheet and mattress protector, and between the mattress protector and mattress. Additional matter of a pair of dirty socks left on the mattress under the mattress protector too. The mattress was also terribly soiled and disgusting. It was evident that NO cleaning or preparation of the bed had been undertaken prior to our visit and that minimum cleanliness and hygiene standards are not upheld. To make matters worse, when reporting this issue via email as no one was present to report it to, the duty manager refused to acknowledge the issue and no resolution or refund offered. Disgustingly poor hygiene, cleanliness and customer service. Have escalated with Expedia.
