“These apartments strike a balance between a hotel stay and having your own Edinburgh pied-à-terre. The location is superb for New Town exploration and access to Waverley, while inside, the studio and larger apartments come equipped with full kitchens and laundry-making longer stays genuinely appealing. I was particularly impressed by the consistent reports of attentive, helpful service, and the small touches, like welcome snacks and quality toiletries, elevate the experience beyond the purely functional.”

Acceptable Stay with Some Issues
loud noise street noise
The room i was in was not as soundproof as i hoped it would be. Street noise was very noticeable, especially when cars passed by. It really affected my sleep. The cost should be lower than the rooms that faced away from the main street (it's a major drawback).
