I would have loved to stay here longer, and we would definitely stay here again. The staff was very communicative, there was a variety of food options; it’s close enough to main attractions to be accessible via walking while also avoiding the more populated areas. We had a two bedroom suite that was perfect for the four of us. It had comfy beds, two full bathrooms, a kitchen area equipped with dishes and appliances for convenience and a feel of a home away from home. The elevator is two person max, but that’s fairly typical for Edinburgh. We were on the top floor, and the stairs were still manageable. We were very pleased with our stay and how conveniently located it was.

Good value for Edinburgh. Check-in is computer labor intensive. Checkout is too early at 10am and they charge 15 Pound per hour for late checkout. Checkout should be at least 11am with a courtesy checkout till noon if requested.

We stayed for a couple of nights in December - the 1 bed flat was good overall. One thing we noticed was bin bags full of rubbish left in the lift- they were there every day of our stay, we’d go out and come back with the bin bags still there and smelly. Avoid the lift and use the stairs!

This review could have been more detailed and positive if my request for refund on one night had be prioritized. My travel agent advised, just before we stayed at Spires, that our return air flight had been moved forward by 24 hours. Consequently, our pre-booked stay of 6 nights was shortened to 5 nights. Extensive email communication with Craig Duguid, National Sales Manager, of Spires, followed and at all times he hid behind Terms and Conditions to avoid reimbursement for the lost night of accommodation, effectively condoning corporate theft by taking payment without providing any service. Hence what might have been a more than satisfactory stay and positive review, is now dealt with the indifference that Spires Apartments showed to my request

It was just ok. The studio was small and a bit outdated. I’m not sure if the cleaning wasn’t the greatest or it wasn’t just well maintained, honestly maybe both. Washroom below average too. Location was good and convenient. Staff wasn’t friendly and Don’t even think about early check in, late check out or bag storage… zero chances.

The apartment is very central. Only thing is the night time noise. I was up most of the night because of the music from the club next door which went on until 3am on a Monday night. Room was well equipped. The sofa desperately needs binned it was covered in stains and looked dirty. The carpet also needs a good shampoo or replaced.
