Spotless and centrally located apartments
Spotless and well equipped apartment close by to Princes Street, centrally located. Check in was very smooth and we were able to store our luggage until the apartment was ready. When we arrived we were happy to find a small food package including croissants, cereals and juice. This will definitely will be our first choice when we're back in Edinburgh!

Very nice accommodation option in Edinburgh.
Close enough to everything but nice to be a little bit away from the busy-ness of Princes street.

Lovely stay at an Edinburgh Serviced Apartment
Pros: Perfect location for exploring the city. Accommodations were clean and comfortable and it is in a safe neighborhood. Tons of snacks, tea, coffee, hot chocolate, juice and water as this was a serviced apartment. I would definitely recommend staying here.
Some things that need a bit of work: (1) Both rooms I stayed in had doors that were difficult to open. Turns out that you have to pull the doorknob towards you before pushing the door open. Easy enough once you knew the trick but a little disconcerting when you couldn't get into the room after multiple tries (especially since there is not always someone on-site to assist you). Probably worth adding a note addressing this issue to the check in instructions. (2) I wanted a room with a washer/dryer which this had but unfortunately it was not easy to figure out how to turn on the dryer function so I ultimately left with a suitcase full of wet clothes. Adding a label to the machine would make it easier to use (especially for international travellers).

Pay for the more expensive room.
Great communication and lovely staff. We made the mistake of booking the cheaper room. It had a very small double bed (not great for those who like a Queen). The room was on the ground floor and you could hear cars/trucks on the cobbles and everyone walking past the windows all night long - as there were bars near by there was a lot of noise from the street. We did love the lovely live music coming in our window from a bar next door on Tuesday and Wednesday night until 9pm. Otherwise the room was lovely with a beautiful welcome box of items to eat that was appreciated. I would stay again but in a more expensive room that was away from the road front.

August 12, 2024
Omg! This place was soo dirty, it looked like someone walked on the walls. No change of the room was offered as receptionist only had 30 minutes before they had to go home. We checked in at 6:30 and by 7pm we were out to a different place. As the city was pretty sold out that weekend, Expedia was not able to help us either. Terrible smelly place that claims to be “Deluxe Apartment, 1 Bedroom, Non Smoking, Kitchen” nothing Deluxe about it.
Kitchen with burned burners and crumbs all over it just killed me!

A great place to rest between biking Holidays
Fabio the front reception was very kind and helpful. The apt was just what we needed after a bike and barge holiday. Walking distance to a Sunday mkt to get some prepared fresh food, comfortable bed and living quarters.
