St Giles Apartments  

Perfect location in the centre of Edinburgh, the apartment was very clean and given there was 6 of us there was pleanty of room. We had everything we needed for our stay.

This is the 3rd time we have stayed here in the last year and would always choose to stay here when we visit Edinburgh.Very central - just 5 mins walk from railway station. Walking distance of eateries and shopping. Apartment well equipped and the lovely large windows in the living area great for watching people across at the St Giles cathedral. Very quiet in the bedroom at the rear of the property and apart from the clock chiming in the cathedral very little or no noise with the bedroom door shut.

Ideal location for visiting the sights of Edinburgh in a stylish new development. Good restaurants and supermarket within easy reach and liked the security of an entry fob apartment. Comfortable lounge and dining area with everything we needed plus tea/coffee etc. provided. Good size bathroom with toiletries and fluffy towels and lots of storage space in bedroom.

The bed! In such a relatively small space why would you put in a wrought iron bed with "prison bars" either end to completely dominate the bedroom. It meant it was difficult to get round to the other side of the bed and every time you turned over the springs twanged! Maybe a bit more thought when you replace the bed next time. Also, I'm sure the company could afford to replace the very dirty cushions on the sofa (? blood stained), supply two spoons rather than one and buy a proper door wedge or door stop for the lounge door rather than a bit of old cardboard.

Excellent location, excellent rooms, a very pleasant stay! Key easy to pick-up, apartment easy to find. Real value for money - a very positive surprise.

before the payment the staff was friendly, once it was done the attitude of the staff turned completely rude

The apartment we stayed in was in Lochend Close just off the Holyrood end of the Royal Mile. We found it a perfect compromise between the main part of The Old Town, less than ten minutes walk away, and Holyrood Park with Arthur's Seat. We welcomed the opportunity for some moderately strenuous walking. There was no shortage of restaurants, possibly better for being slightly removed from the main tourist area. The dedicated parking space made it feasible to bring all the creature comforts we might need, and gave us the option to explore further afield had we ever exhausted what Central Edinburgh had to offer. We found the apartment was well-designed, comfortable and well-equipped. Staff in the office were courteous and helpful, and very prompt in dealing with the one little problem, possibly self-inflicted, which arose. The need to check-in at the main office was perhaps an inconvenience with respect to our apartment ten minutes walk away, but only a minor one, in spite of the shortage of obvious parking nearby. We would book into the same apartment again with no hesitation.

Any criticisms are purely nit-picking. Wi-fi access would have been welcome, though, in fairness, it was made perfectly clear from the outset that this was not available at this apartment. Some soap would have been useful in addition to the shower/bath unguents which were provided. We would have appreciated a decent radio (though we had in fact brought our own), and the apparent non-working of the dvd function on the tv was a very minor disappointment.

The location couldnt be better, we stayed in apartment 1a which is on the first floor. the view from the lounge looks straight out onto parliament square and st giles cathedral. The living area is huge and very well presented, the kitchen area has everything you need to cook anything. The bathroom and the bedroom were also very well presented and had everything you could want.

We only had one minor complaint about St Giles apartments, The apartment is single glazed which in the lounge is great as the street and city sounds (including bagpipes) provide a great atmosphere. However, this does not translate well in the bedroom as the sounds from the alleyway below were very loud from very early in the morning. With this very minor issue fixed this apartment would be perfect.

The location is perfect. In the middle of the Royal Mile and in front of Sanit Giles cathedral. The apartments are plenty of room, the bedrooms are excellent and they provide with towels, sheets and even water and orange juice, You can leave your luggage in the apartments office until 7:00pm the day you check out It is pefect to visit the city!

The office to pick up the key closes at 8:00pm. We arrived at 19:40 because of our flight schedule. The person who gave us the keys was a bit "nervous". I felt like he want to go home...

The size of the apartment was very impressive. The furniture and decor was elegant but comfortable. Would come back anytime.

Convenient to all amenities. It was a peaceful location. The apartment was clean and comfortable.We would stay at the apartment again if we went to Edinburgh.

Fantastic, very helpfull staff. Excellent facilitiies and spotless.I would definately stay here again and will recommend to friends.

A very good choice! Clean, fresh nice bed linnen and towels rugs etc, nice finishing of the appartment (Holyrood 89 App 2) granite in kitchen, good bathroom and toilet finishing, magnificent location next to the Royal Palace, Arthur's Seat, Royal Mile and Princess Street. Concierge was very helpful at late arrival. Magnificent view out of the living room towards the museum Mother's Earth and the hill Arthur's Seat. Little supermarket up the road. You feel at home straight away. Will book again this appartment next time before hitting the Highlands by car out of Edinburgh.

Perhaps the beds could be a little bit less hard and a bit longer. In this class of appartments a Radio/CD combination should be provided for as well (music channels on tele were sometimes distorted). Given this day and age of the internet some Wi-Fi access should be offered within the price of the rent. There was a shortage of access points so I could not log in even if I wanted to pay for the service. A funny point is that the sofas are in a fake leather so you slip out of them every 5 minutes .. :-)

Central, practical, modern, charming, perfectly located, spacey, fantastic value for money! A definate address to return to
