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.

Great place to stay

This is a great place to stay in the heart of Edinburgh. Staff were helpful and friendly. Apartment was spotless. Only a few niggles…… one of the toilet seats needed tightening, there is no microwave and no drawer storage at all which if sorted, would have made the stay perfect.

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.

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.

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.

Great place to stay but very poor wifi

Great location and good access to public transportation. The bedrooms in the accommodation we had were comfortable and well decorated with ample storage space. The kitchen was well stocked with all kitchen items you could possibility need with the added benefit of a washing machine and dishwasher. Only issues were the wifi being very poor and that there was no info on how to use the digital thermostat. The wifi would connect but keep dropping/disconnecting to the point we gave up trying to use it. This also affected the digital tv.
