This is a spacious apartment and well-equipped to dine-in. It is not a far walk to the Royal Mile, nor to Marchmont.

The staff are amazing, friendly, helpful and accommodating. They go out of their way to make your stay the best it can be. I stayed in 2 different rooms, the 1st a 1 bedroom suite, everything was perfect. The 2nd stay was a 2 bedroom suite with family. The rooms could use a bit of an uplift. Both suites were very clean and getting fresh linen or refills on anything was not a problem

Great place to stay clean friendly good location
Ideal place to stay size wise with the family with a teenage son it meant he had his own space. Comfy beds kitchen with dishwasher and washing machine. Staff were really friendly. The only down side I would say is that the 3 strip clubs at the end of the road. They were not an issue just a bit awkward with kids. 5 min walk to the grass market and the rest of the city is very accessible

We had a nice large apartment that accommodated our family of three very comfortably. It had a nice clean kitchen, living room, 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. I appreciated that the bathrooms were very clean. The shower in one bath didn’t work very well but the other shower worked great (hot water and great water pressure). Property is located in a great part of town close to all the cool shops and eateries. Highly recommend.

This was a wonderful location to stay in Edinburgh. The apartments were spacious and comfortable. All the staff were very helpful. The only down side of the property is not having 24hr support at the front desk. We had an incident where the fire alarm went off at 6:30 in the morning and when we tried to contact the given numbers, there was no answer. But again, overall, everything was very nice about the property. Would recommend to a friend/stay there again.

Cons: Property is old and in need of updating. I was in building 15 and the FLOORS creak so badly it wakes everyone up. No good if you have babies and no good when everyone is tired. All furniture shows wear and staining. The showers don’t drain and are hard to figure out and one shower super tiny. No directions for anything. The microwave/stove unlike anything I’ve seen so I had to get help. Directions would have helped. Pros: staff is awesome. Location is perfect. I had plenty of heat and lots of natural light. Two bedrooms and two bathrooms. They supplied soap lotion hair products, soap for dishwasher, I would go there again if they updated everything but the floors were so bad we tip toed to be quiet at night and it would crack and creak THAT needs attention.
