The apartment served it's purpose for our brief overnight stay. I personally feel they were a little over priced but that's city prices I guess. Tom at reception was exceptionally helpful and very knowledgeable. Thanks

Convenient location not very far from railway and bus stations. Practically in the city center and wherein near the Holyrood. Nice clear and modern room with fully equipment kitchenette. Two TVsets (on the both floors)! You can find the laundry in the apartment complex.

For this price one of the cheapest, but still okayish place to have some nights in Edinburgh. The kitchen is well-equipped. A big plus is that you can leave your luggage at the reception.

This is student accommodation at an excellent standard. Well proportioned room - no frills but comfortable with a very decent kitchen and simple but well functioning bathroom. I felt quite comfortable and the location was good.

I’ve never stayed in an apartment before and was a little scared. When I opened the door my breath was taken away! It takes a lot to make me speechless but I was:) So, I had the beat location and it was cosy and quiet and, I felt at home. For the price I paid £118 I’m still shook! I’ll see you again next time

It was student housing so I wasn't expecting too much. Floors were sticky, curtains were broken and the walls had damage. The vent in the bathroom never turned off and it was annoying.
The location was great and the staff were superb. Please update the folder in the rooms!!! Check out is 11am but it has 10:30am listed in the folder.

They cancelled the booking without notifying me or booking.com. Fortunately they had the same room available, but I needed to pay again and ask booking.com for refund (was successful). One of receptionist was very kind to help (and giving the room for the same booking price), while the other was quite rude. The room is extremely small, nothing like on the photos. Cleaniness was okay, especially in the bathroom, but has room for improvement. Matrace is too soft.
For this price one of the cheapest, but still okayish place to have some nights in Edinburgh. The kitchen is well-equipped. A big plus is that you can leave your luggage at the reception.

Tv in bedroom had no signal so no stations worked so could not use it. The fan in the shower room was clogged with dust and therefore did not work as well as it should have - should be cleaned out.
Very very nice apartment close to everything- would definitely go back.
