Seek elsewhere

The property is part of student accommodation undergoing renovations, as such the entrance is “temporary”, VERY studenty (for those students of 90s and 00s) and complex to find the 3rd floor. If first impressions count, this place isn’t for you. We were a family of 4, staying for 2 nights and chose the superior duplex style apartment, however there was very little space for clothing/luggage. For any longer stays, you might need to look elsewhere. If you’re facing the road, it’s LOUD. The windows are double glazed only (fine for home, but city centre main road and buses just below eye level..not so much) The apartment had all amenities required, but we’re starting to show wear, for example the shower head wouldn’t stay up and required to be held whilst showering. Door handles partly broken, and stains on the walls from greasy scalps due to lack of bedheads etc.. Would we stay again?….probably not. We paid almost £500 for two nights in early January, but for a little more we could have the assurance of a proper hotel.

The main entrance door was under repair. We had to go around the building to get to our room. But everything else was perfect.

Unique --relationship to the university. Nothing I really disliked, though the layout of the apartment and in particular the stairs from entry to bed was a bit challenging to navigate with my suitcase.

Under renovation

There was a fan outside the room that was very noisy. There was a chemical smell in the building, maybe paint or such. The renovation works meant that going into and out of the property was a labyrinth.

Stayed a few times now and it’s always the same issue I find is the noise. Not just normal noise but every floorboard in the flat creaked and cracked so loudly I was worried I’d be the annoying one to other people.

The apartments were great. Nice space and the staff were very courteous. The gym access was a plus. Walkable distance to nearby attractions without being too close to the main tourist hub.

Over our two days here, we had an incredible time. The property's location is suitable distance from the majority of Edinburgh's well-known attractions. Our room seemed brand new because it had been thoroughly cleaned. Also, the staff is really helpful and courteous. They will undoubtedly make every effort to guarantee that your stay remains comfortable and best

Apartment was great, clean and well maintained, close to facilities and back bedroom buses. Very reasonably priced. One complaint, two lovely big mirrors but no plug nearby, doing my hair was a challenge.
