This was a STUNNING property - old world charm with new world amenities. We opted to pay a little more for the garden view and it was so worth it. Super central location, walkable to everywhere. Great little touches like laundry detergent, dish soap, Scottish speciality chocolates available for us. Would 10/10 recommend staying here!

We came back to edingburgh to stay two more nights before traveling to iceland. I found this hidden gem right of St. James square. It’s so cute apartment with kitchen, utensils, each unit has their own washer/dryer with detergents supplied, clean, and quaint. Very close to rail, tram, and bus station. The receptionist is very friendly and helpful. You can get a cup of coffee or hot water extra towels at the front desk.Highly recommended for those wee are traveling here.

We liked our place. The double bed was quite small, and the combination laundry with wash/dry was ok but very small and not that efficient. It was nice having a kitchen and a clean space to stay. Decent location in new town near the gardens. The staff were very nice and check in and luggage hold worked out perfectly.

Beautiful room, well maintained. There was a kitchenette , refrigerator, washer/dryer unit, dishwasher, tv. (Cannot speak to kitchen appliances as we didn't use them, but washer/dryer was easy to use). Bathroom was clean and equipped but tub was very high so was careful getting in and out. Easy mobile check in/out. Mobile key was easy too. 25 minute ride to airport was not bad at all. There was also luggage storage in lobby if you needed it. I did wish there was a vending machine with drinks/snacks, but otherwise our stay was perfect!

To be clear it’s an Apartment hotel with no parking, nor any amenities, no assistance to be reached after 6pm daily. Location is good. Room noise facing Queen street is considerable so much so that earplugs are placed in the kitchen for renters. 6 floor had flooring so squeaky everywhere in the apt that one cannot help disturbing others when walking around in the apartment. Have never experienced anything like it. Nice that the 2 bedrooms have 2 separate bathrooms. Rooms are comfortable. Windows open for fresh air.
