Highly recommend. Clean, safe, quiet, spacious. Grocery and cafe are just steps away. Easy walk to everything in the city center: castle, National Museum, shops, dining. We were far more comfortable here (in a proper apartment with full kitchen, laundry) than in a hotel.

Great location! Breathtaking views!

This is a comfortable modern apartment with breathtaking views over a park, old city and mountains. It is located next to the Art festival. Plenty of breakfast places and other conveniences around. Our beds were comfortable, water in showers hot and plentiful. Communication with management was prompt. Overall we would come back next time we are in Edinburgh!

Fantastic stay at Quartermile Serviced Apartments⭐

Had a lovely stay at this Quartermile apartment - spotless, spacious and tastefully decorated, it has a warm and inviting atmosphere. Good central location for exploring the city on foot, close to fantastic restaurants and shops with great public transport links, yet the apartment itself is quiet and peaceful, allowing for restful nights. Our fifth time staying with this host and they are always incredibly hospitable and responsive, going above and beyond with attention to detail to ensure our stay is enjoyable. This is ultimately a top-notch place to stay; convenient, stylish, and comfortable - I couldn’t recommend it more!

Lovely flat lovely views, very handy for Uni!

Lovely apartment with all the mod cons even a pod coffee machine. Some stunning stunning views and most importantly a very comfy bed! In a very nice quiet area with cafes and restaurants on the door step and then the lovely Meadows on the other side When I thought I’d lost my AirPods communication was very swift and Marc was in touch with the cleaning crew immediately!

Location is great - safe and close to many amenities. Cleanliness could have been improved upon. Bathtub was hard to get into (too high). Bed & pillows were uncomfortable. More kitchen amenities / supplies would be an asset.

Great Experience at Quartermile Serviced Apartment

I recently stayed at the Quartermile Serviced Apartment, and I had a great experience. The host was incredibly friendly and made the check-in process easy and welcoming. The location is excellent, conveniently close to local attractions and transportation, which made exploring the area hassle-free. The room itself was spacious and well-equipped. I appreciated having a kitchenette and laundry machine, which made it feel like a home away from home. While the services were limited (as it’s not a traditional hotel), the apartment provided everything needed for a comfortable stay. Overall, I would definitely recommend Quartermile Serviced Apartment to anyone looking for a comfortable, well-located place to stay with the added convenience of in-room amenities.

6/10 Good

Property manager was unaccommodating. We did not receive a check in email as we did by at least 6 other properties while traveling for many weeks prior. The manager insisted we did receive instructions and it turned out it was a 9 month old email received when we booked last year. We were unable to get discounted parking because we did ot respond last year. We also needed an additional blanket and manager wanted an explanation why. We ended up buying one on our own. Property itself was as promised and as pictures indicated. It was serviceable and provided enough space for a family. Kitchen was also as promised. Would choose another property next time only due to poor service.

Amazing view and a good amount of space for the family to all sit together in the main living/dining area. It was a great midway stop on our greater trip through the UK. What a retreat.
