Edinburgh Playhouse Apartments  

Two hours driving around to find the office and no answer on the number we were to ring for details led us to contact Booking.com who gave us another (updated) number. Disinterested owner advised that the old details were given to us and that they had moved offices months before.Student accommodation rented as a holiday apartment. Much too expensive for this sparsely furnished flat with just a four piece dinner service, a few glasses and a couple of pots in the kitchen (not even a frying pan). Brown lampshades, brown curtains and brown walls meant reading was impossible.There was even a police warning in the flat that residents would be evicted if there was too much noise! Laminate floors with no rugs meant tiptoeing around to avoid clattering on the floor with shoes (floor too dirty to take shoes off). Had to clean the cooker before use too. A single towel each and one pillow to each bed with a double duvet on a king size bed. This was our worst Edinburgh experience to date.

It was a quiet, comfortable apartment within 15 minutes walk of Waverley Station/Princes Street. Plenty of eating places and some basic shops within a 5 minute walk. The apartment was large (3 double bedrooms, one ensuite, large kitchen/diner and large sitting room) and well equipped.

The bedrooms were crammed with beds, presumably a feature of its use during the Festival but creating an unnecessary feeling of overcrowding. Being a ground floor flat, it could do with net curtains in the windows unless you are happy being on view to the public. To be fair, though, the flat is in a quiet development with convenient parking provided you get a parking permit. Although we had asked through Booking.com and phoned the local office the day before, the promised permit was not there when we arrived. However after a quick phone call the local office soon delivered the permit.

It was close to the city centre and my office. It was clean and in a good area.

I was not informed that the cot will not have any bedding. It would also been good to have a manual with recommended take aways, tourist information and more information on check out procedures.

We liked the location very much, the comfort and the space. Travelling as a family, in this case grandparents with daughter and grandchild of 2 years, old it was very convieniant. Walkingdistance to everything in the city was perfect.

In one of the bathrooms the shower was hanged up and couldn´t be removed for use.

Easy check in

It close proximity to the city centre.

It was a very nice 2 bed furnished apartment with a fully functional kitchen. Rooms were comfortable and we didn't have any issues. Private parking was also available which was very convenient.

There is no reception at the location so getting in is a little tricky. I had to call the guys, who then guided me to collect keys from a closer location and then go to apartment which was in another place(though close by).

Location of the apartments was excellent.

Cleanliness of the room. Upon arrival - the rooms had not been cleaned and the cleaning team were on the point of arriving, just as we were. In one of the apartments there was no hot water - for both nights and it also had a foul smell. No idea what the smell was. We did complain re the hot water - but nothing was done to remedy the problem.

Location and was a good sized apartment

Some of the doors were bashed in when I arrived and there was not a full set of cutlery and crockery. A family would struggle to have a meal with a glass of wine each.

The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The apartment was spacious, much larger than expected. The kitchen was a good standard.

We would have preferred not to be ground level. The standard could have been improved such as better carpet and flooring rather than linoleum. The lighting could have been better, more ambiant, with more working side lights. More towels wpuld have been useful as well as clothes hangers. The pillows were flat, so a better quality would have been useful.

Choose this appartment so we could visit Edinburgh city centre and the Fringe festival. We only used it as a base for the nights. On that score it was ideal.

This apartment is very nice, especially for family!!!

Very large 2 bedroom apartment with two bathrooms. Right next to Leight Walk with restaurants and shops, and about 5 minutes walk to Princes Street.

The only thing that was wrong, was that the wifi didn't work, but they claimed that was because the net was down. Couldn't get dvd player to work either, but that was probably us - we didn't try very hard.
