6/10 Good

The apartment was lovely, didn't receive the check in instructions as a deposit payment hadnt gone through after changing cards. Only discovered this after I found an email in my junk mail. Staff were very helpful though once I contacted the office and let us store our bags until check in time. The apartment was lovely, location great. The only downside was it is across from a busy nightclub so the noise was pretty loud on the Friday and Saturday nights. Otherwise a great stay.

Very well located, well equipped kitchen, a very nice stay. Parking and unloading a bit of a challenge if you are arriving at rush hour

Our stay was great! I loved the contactless check in and check out and the amenities provided in the apartment. It was in a great location, and we were able to walk most places in the city.

The apartment is marvelous. Everything is in good condition and it is pretty. Really comfortable and it has everything you could need when traveling. Pretty good size and location. We would prefer that the apartment had a lift and AC. I definitely can recommend this place.

Beautiful apartment!

We had a great experience! Communication with staff was prompt and professional. The apartment was wonderful and in excellent condition. Our only regret was that it was just for one night. I would certainly rent this apartment again!

Great location

The property is fantastic. located extremely well for Princess and George Street with the apartment being well presented, clean and all the facilities needed and as described. The only area to improve on is that the property does not have air conditioning and if the weather is good the sun shines directly in and you cannot really leave the windows open due to noise emanating from Princess St
Ryszard, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful studio apartment. Very well equipped and modern. Only small issue was the sewer smell coming from the shower drain, which I believe is a common issue when renovating old buildings. I simply put a bowl upside down over it when not using the shower and the problem was solved. Oh, and the mattress needs to be replaced by a real one 😉
Jean-Pierre, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great property, and staff were very responsive and helpful in answering questions and helping (like storing luggage). We could walk to almost every tourist spot in Edinburgh in 30 minutes or less (Holyrood maybe 40 minutes). Public transportation (trams, busses) is right outside the door. The flat was very comfortable and fitted out well (though it would have been nice to have some basics like salt & pepper, cooking oil in kitchen). It is at corner of Charlotte and Princes streets which are very busy streets. You could hear some noise, but with double windows, the street noise was pretty mild. My wife is fairly sensitive to noise, but with simple earplugs, she was fine for sleeping. One other thing. You need to be able to climb stairs. These stairs were wide and easy to manage even with luggage, which is not always the case at other places in UK.

2/10 Poor

MISLEADING + Overpriced -

The property is a BASIC renovation No ventilation in bathroom No Aircon - HENCE do not call it a ‘hotel apartment ‘ Too many flights not mentioned clearly NO LIFT pre reservation NOT LUXURY BUT a BASIC home renovated flat

The room was beautiful and modern. We had no problems walking to plenty of shops and restaurants from there.

6/10 Good

This was a modern hidden studio apartment upstairs of a mobile phone store accessed through an unassuming door in the corner. The original façade of the old building was untouched, but the insides were renovated. Plus: location was as central as you can get (maybe a little "too central"?) Window facing the castle. Studio felt very modern and probably remodeled not very long ago. Even though address was given in the email, some basic descriptions of the place in the email would've helped because Google maps sent me to the OTHER nearby (wrong) location when I just searched the name (there were multiple locations in the same areas). There were some homeless people loitering near the entrance and smelled of urine at the entrance. Walking in the studio. almost every other step generated loud creaking noise. They did not reinforce the old floor before covering up with new flooring. Thankfully it was a mobile phone shop that wasn't opened in the evening. But because of that, it affected the stay experience. Second complaint was the stairs. Not easy carrying my big luggage up since there were no lifts/elevators. Maintenance was feeling a little off, one of my bedside lamps did not work. Due to the apartment being a little warm, I had to open the window to get some fresh air (no air conditioning, but ok). However, being so central, and only on the 2nd floor, I can hear people talking loudly and traffic noises all the way until it died down in the later hours.

Maria, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This was a great place to stay in Edinburgh. It was nice, had all updated modern amenities and centrally located to tasty restaurants and tourist locations - we walked almost everywhere. I would definitely stay there again - It was nice having a spacious studio. A few items I read in other reviews that were helpful: 1. The office, several blocks away, will let you store your luggage until you can check in. We arrived early, so this was nice. 2. There are no elevators - This was good to know in advance. I highly recommend these apartments.
Michelle, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

nice apartment, well equipped. lots of street noise ( most of the year probably would not matter but the weather was quite warm and we needed the windows open). We had some questions after we checked in and received no response from the company.

Great large apartment right at the bottom of the castle off Princes street. We stayed with our two young kids and they loved having the extra space. Walkable to everything.

it is in walking distance to Royal Mile and Edinburgh Castle. The apartment itself is clean and well maintained. There are dining options nearby too. We enjoyed the stay.

Central location

Beautiful apartment overlooking Princess Street, couldn’t get a more central spot. Apartment was spotless, cosy and comfortable with secondary glazing which kept the noise down and underfloor heating in the bathroom. Had everything you would need for your stay with good quality bed linen and towels. Would definitely stay there again.
