We had a wonderful stay in this very charming and spotlessly clean apartment. It is strategically located, making it incredibly convenient to explore the city on foot. The apartment was perfect for the two of us, spacious, well equipped with everything we needed, and exceptionally clean. The team made everything super smooth for me and my husband from start to finish. A special mention to Elizabeth, who manages the building, she was very helpful and accommodating, and her thoughtful recommendations truly made our stay feel extra special. She also checked in on us to make sure we felt at home, which we really appreciated. Just a small note for future guests: there are stairs, so it may be something to consider if you’re carrying large luggage or have knee problems. It wasn’t an issue for us at all. Overall, we highly recommend this apartment and would happily stay again.

The deluxe studio I stayed in was very spacious, big windows that look out to the street, high ceilings, a separate sitting area next to the comfortable bed, well maintained amenities (heated towel rack!)I had everything I needed, including dishwashing detergent and laundry detergent so all I had to buy was food. Iade good used the Nespresso machine and the staff was kind enough to replenish me with cream and coffee pods on my second day. The kitchen had enough cookware to fry an egg and boil pasta; they even have a baking sheet if you felt like baking cookies. The hotel had a lot of different restaurants with diverse cuisine that I didn't get bored with my choices if I fancied eating out. I was travelling solo and I felt very safe with different codes for the front door and a different code for my hotel room as well. I will say that because my deluxe studio was facing the street, I could hear the garbage collector trucks well into midnight because as I mentioned, the hotel was surrounded by restaurants. The management/ staff are also responsive via Whatsapp when I had a request at 8am regarding a drying rack. All in all, a great stay and would definitely stay here again if I come back to Edinburgh.

The apartment was fantastic. It was spotlessly clean, well equipped, comfortable and spacious. The communal areas were smart and well maintained. Great central location. My apartment was at the rear and had a Castle view which was wonderful. There was very little noise from the other apartments. An added bonus was having access to the building before and after check in and out for leaving luggage. Highly recommended!

Lovely apartment. Clean, fresh, spacious, well-equipped, and brilliant location for sites and for food. Also very useful to be able to have somewhere to leave luggage if arriving or leaving later than check-out time. Recommend full-heartedly, but beware… no lift!!

The apartment itself is lovely, spotless and central. Very cute and the kitchen came well stocked with what you would need for a short stay. The lovely staff member (I'm sorry I didn't catch her name!) helped us get our luggage up the stairs and was very sweet. The Italian restaurant, Vittoria, downstairs was tasty as well if you're too tired to travel far for dinner! The only downside to this apartment was the noise level from the street in the evenings. I was very grateful to have brought my ear plugs or it would have been a sleepless few nights for me. If you're not noise sensitive, it's a great choice, if you are, bring earplugs!

The apartment was spotless and well decorated. We met a housekeeper who was cleaning some of the other apartments, and she was very nice and helpful to us, because we arrived a half an hour earlier than our check-in time and she called management to allow us to access the apartment. The only two problems was that 1. there was no traction in the shower, so my friend slipped and hurt herself. She ended up leaving Scotland a few days earlier than she was supposed to because she was having a hard time walking. I never reported it to the apartment management though. 2. There was no close parking, and the code that we were given wasn’t working, so we had to park at the Edinburgh Waverly parking garage, which was not convenient. Since my friend was hurt, we had to Uber back to the parking garage to get the rental car when we checked out. I have to say that management was very good about responding quickly to my email about the parking code not working for me. I would stay again because of how clean and modern the decor was, and how nice management and the housekeeper was.

The bed was not that comfortable. We were traveling with children and they did say the pull out bed was comfortable. The area is great for tourist. Very close to every attraction we wanted to see. Close to bus and tram access. The bar next door was quite loud though, to no fault of the property. The property did provide every amenity that we needed including coffee, toiletries, and extra pillows and blankets.
