Good location, within walking distance to the bus station, tram stop’s & restaurants. We ordered the breakfast hamper and it provided ample food for a quick meal. Our first apartment was OK but our second apartment was definitely a big downgrade. The carpet was very stained and worn, some light fixtures did not work & one of the bathrooms had broken fixtures. There were signs posted stated that renovations were taking place.

We understand that there are some areas of disrepair and damage throughout the property and we are continuously carrying out refurbishments. We are currently in the process of renovating all rooms and public areas of the hotel, and regret to hear that your second room was not up to the standard of the first. We hope this did not ruin your time with us, as we do hope to welcome you back soon.

A family of four, kitchen was ok but not great, missing a few essential things you would like for a short break. Two bathrooms, shower was either too hot or too cold nothing in between, other bathroom was fine. Uncomfortable sofa, heating too high, unplugging radiators and windows open. Washing machine but no clothes aider. It’s an average place to stay, I won’t be rushing back but it was clean. Little Tesco round the corner.

All in all is a convenient place to stay. It's located in an accessible zone, the staff was friendly and the check in/out process was simple. Some details: Rooms are poorly heated. We only had the A/C for heating (clearly not enough + it made weird sounds all the time) while the bathroom was steaming hot all the time. Also the room wasn't exactly sound proof. Everything else was ok.

Stayed for 2 nights recently. Nice apartments, clean comfy and warm. Every amenity you need down to dishwasher and washer/dryer. Located near end of royal mile so less then 10 min walk to activities. Would definitely recommend. Only thing when your checking in 3 o clock is 3 o clock! Not a min before will they let you in. Also we did have house keep enter our room unannounced at 9am on morning of check out which we reported as it frightened the kids.

Good value for money, would recommend and would love to come back! Neat & tidy room for our family of 5, 24hrs service was a big plus when arriving late at night and they were always to help if had any questions. Living area and the rooms are spacious and the kitched was well-equipped. The location was superb, only a short walk to the shopping street and to hike destination Arthur's seat.. Small walking distance to Edinburgh Castle etc, and also to the bus stop to take city bus tours. As we did some cooking by ourselves, it was nice to have supermarket close by (just walk down the street a few steps).

Our apartment 603 was very tired. Massive crack in en-suite washbasin. Very unhealthy. Tired kitchen units. Worst of all the double en-suite bedroom had no blinds on the main window. Had to fix a bath towel over the window to enable us to get to sleep. Surely for the price we paid you can expect window covering??? We’d already unpacked and gone out for the evening so on our return to find no blind it was too late to ask for a room change.

This hotel is royal mile adjacent and close to several pubs and restaurants. The front desk was always staffed and able to provide assistance. The hallways and lift have seen better days but the room we were in was clean and functioning. I would be happy to stay here again.

We had a twin room with a full kitchen. It is just off the Royal Mile and a Tesco just around the corner. Starbucks and pubs within 2 minutes. Great location, quiet and just what we needed. Our room was clean and updated. Also 24 hour staff on the desk. Book without hesitation.

To be honest, having booked and prepaid an apartment for the three of us, when we arrived we and saw the poor level of smelly, shoddy accommodation, we just knew we couldn’t stay here. Ended up leaving and having to find alternative accommodation (which was just lovely) in an airbnb. Contacted customer service the following day in hope of a refund but still waiting for some resolution but that’s not the point. How this can be advertised as 4 star accommodation is just beyond us.

While the location is convenient, the suite was very disappointing. Many items were in need of repair or replacement. The carpets are worn and dirty. I was not comfortable taking off my shoes. The walls are dirty there was even a hole in the wall in the living room. The kitchen cabinet doors were peeling and coming off the hinges. The sink in the bathroom was cracked and the tub porcelain was chipped. We arrived at 2:00pm and hoped to leave our luggage while we returned our rental car. The reception staff offered the use of a closet, but it had no lock - so it was open to anyone. She further explained that the 3:00 check in could not be guaranteed - as it depended on when the room was cleaned. I asked if she could kindly text or call me when the room was ready - to which she agreed. I never received a call or text. Any one or two of these issues would have been fine - but cumulatively it made our stay feel expensive and disappointing. …

Our check-in time is set at 3pm as this is when all rooms are guaranteed to be ready for guests. Our receptionist explained that we cannot guarantee check-in BEFORE 3pm, but would let you know if your room was ready before then. As it wasn't ready until 3pm, there was no need to get in touch with you, as you could check in anyway. We do hope to see you again.
