Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests appreciate the hotel's location, finding it convenient for exploring Edinburgh, with easy access to attractions like the Royal Mile and Arthur's Seat, a 10-minute walk from Edinburgh Waverley station. The rooms are considered great for up to 4 people, often described as clean, modern, and well-equipped with amenities like a dishwasher, washing machine, dryer and a fully stocked kitchen; some guests have also enjoyed breakfast items in their room, such as bread, jam, cereals, yogurt, milk and juice. However, a few guests have noted that the soundproofing in rooms facing the street could be improved. There's also a supermarket very close to the property.

a decent stay overall

clean room perfect apartment useful amenities worn carpets uninspiring room missing light
the apartment was perfect. rooms were spotlessly clean. amenities provided covered all needs. kitchen had everything required (for light meal preparation).
the carpets on the stairs seemed worn. my room looked uninspiring. i expected something more up to date (given the price paid). there was a light switch without a corresponding light over a mirror.

Really good Stay

modern amenities quiet nights perfect shower
The apartment was clean and well kept. I appreciated the modern amenities including a dishwasher and an iron. The shower worked perfectly (great water pressure!), and the quiet nights allowed for restful sleep.
The apartment door needed a firm slam to close properly, a minor inconvenience.

double beds two bathrooms warm atmosphere tired room edited photographs missing extractor fan
I stayed in a two-bedroom apartment. It had two double beds. I noticed five doors upon entering, two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a living room with a kitchen. The apartment was over 50 square meters. It felt cozy, warm, and clean.
I found that the room felt very worn! It reminded me of a budget motel in terms of decor and equipment. I noticed the photos online were carefully edited. There was no extractor fan in the bathroom!

Excellent Family Stay

convenient location helpful staff
The location was convenient, providing easy access to the town center. The two-bedroom and two-bathroom setup proved invaluable for our family, allowing everyone their own space. I also found the staff very friendly and helpful .
The floor and doors generated quite a bit of noise. The sound insulation between rooms was also poor, impacting the overall tranquility.
Facilities

The apartment featured a well-equipped kitchen including a refrigerator, microwave, hob, and washing machine, very useful for longer stays. I noticed plenty of coffee shops and other amenities conveniently located around the premises.. The reception staff were friendly upon arrival.

The apartment was huge and modern, i loved it! the location was excellent. It was close to everything i needed. the water pressure in the shower was also great!
we had to report a faulty electrical socket by the bed, which wasn't ideal. the fuse box would trip and need resetting occasionally . refurbishment work was ongoing, which caused some minor disturbances.
