Fantastic location, very modern apartment

We stayed only one night but if you are looking for longer term accommodation you can't beat these apartments for location, cost and style. Thesee untis are located just back of the main street. Are very suitable for a couple and have all that you could need. You can even cater for yourself. We loved the fact that midway through our 2 week vacation we were able to wash and dry our clothes. Clothes powder was even supplied. Great cosy little convenient space!

clean comfortable hotel

We chose this hotel for its proximity to kings cross. The room is v small.barely enough room for our luggage. It is clean, bed comfortable n a good shower. It serves good continental breakfast. It's reasonably priced for London. There's no lift, tough dragging our luggage to room. Not suitable for old people

Perfect location very close to train station. There was a big storm, and they kindly let us check in early before it arrived at no cost. That was really remarkable. Very modern and updated appliances even a washer & dryer in one. Definitely recommend!

Very good....but.........

Overall the stay was great,the apartment was very clean and had all the amenities we needed,as well as being in a prime location. However there were 2 things that let it down slightly for us, Number 1,our apartment was at the back of the building and it was pretty noisy,with deliveries arriving at 4 am and bins being emptied early on as well,we ended up using ear plugs. Number 2,during booking it mentioned that there was a lift from the first floor onwards........what wasn't mentioned is the 30 odd steps to climb with luggage before you get to the lift!, anyone with heavy bags or maybe a pram would have really struggled I'd imagine. Other than that it was fine.

エディンバラの街を歩いて回るのにロケーションが最高でした。　空港や駅からのアクセスも簡単で、扉を開けると1分でプリンシズストリートなので、ショッピングもレストランも沢山のオプションがあり楽しめました。 部屋は十分な広さでキッチンやランドリーの設備も説明通りでした。　暖房は自動でオンオフになるようになっているようで、外の寒さに関わらず室内は暖かく保たれていました。 パスコードによるドアキーは使用方法が簡単で、チェックイン、チェックアウト共にスムーズでした。 他の人も書いていますが、難を挙げれば、1Fのリフトがあるフロアーまで階段で上がるのですが、あおの階段が長くて、大きい荷物を持っている場合は少々大変だと思います。

Excellent room in heart of Edinburgh

Comfy, nice, clean room near Walter Scott Memorial. Discounted off site parking. Outside door into building tricky to find. (It was right next to KFC). Nicest room in my two week trip. Wish I’d had it for more than a night.

Wonderful apartment. Very good location, and nice and cozy clean room. Although you have to go 1st floor by steps, everything else is perfect. We would like to stay again when we visit Edinburgh.

I came here with my mum who is 70 she was fine with the stairs equivalent to one flight in a house. Then there is a lift. The apartment is PERFECTLY situated for Edinburgh centre and the Christmas Market is across the road. Everything is no more than 10 min walk max! Lots of lovely shopping and a million places to eat, so hard to choose. I will absolutely go to this apartment again.

Smells like McDonald’s chips !

The apartment was advertised as being on St Andrews square. This was not quite the case. It turned out we walked from there towards Princes street, and the door of the apartments was right next to a McDonald’s. Not quite the location we thought! However, extremely central! When we entered the apartment building the hall area was functional, but not particularly welcoming. Upon opening the door to the apartment the smell of greasy chips was overwhelming. We worked out the extractor fan of either the McDonald’s or the KFC was outside our window. It was quite frankly disgusting! The room was styled nicely and the bathroom was luxurious, but nothing could distract us from the smell which came in wafts. For this reason I would not stay there again. Our clothes and hair smelled of this smell the whole of the next day!

Very conveniently located near the rail station and allowed walking to everywhere we wanted to visit. Bit of a challenge for people our age getting luggage up, as the lift started at the first floor and had to take bags up a long staircase from the street entrance (thankfully, the staircase was wide).
