Best place to stay in Edinburgh.

The staff were very pleasant and helpful. We had everything needed for an extended stay (washer, dryer, and full kitchen, and a gloriously large soaking tub).The location was within walking distance of everything we wanted to see with great food and bars less than a block away. It was super close to the main bus and tram terminal for easy transport to and from the airport and points further out. Final bonus: the private garden with access to the large Queens Garden. This space felt like a place out of time and provided an oasis of greenery.

Liked: Cleanliness
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.

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.

Excellent stay

My partner and I really enjoyed our stay. The space is big, beautiful and light filled. Perks for us after travelling a couple of weeks were having a kitchen, the washing machine & a seperate living area. Unfortunately they don’t offer room servicing unless you pay an extra price, however they do have a little service cabinet in the lobby where you can stock up on items such as coffee pods, toilet paper etc which I thought was a great inclusion. It was our favourite hotel so far on our travels. Thanks for having us.

What else can I say except this is the perfect place to stay when visiting Edinburgh. Everything is run through the mobile app including getting a ride from the airport. There is 24 hour key code access for extra safety and convenience. It's a couple of blocks from the city center, bus station, train station and Dean's Village. There are plenty of options around for food and drink and grocery to cook in the studio. We had a chance to meet some staff while we were leaving and they were both super friendly. I will absolutely stay here again when I visit Edinburgh.

Great apartment stay in Edinburgh

Staff was very helpful and friendly. Clean and well appointed rooms. Easy walk to major tourist stops but with a more neighborhood feel.
