windows open which I love!! Staff were exceptional & it was so clean

Claire United Kingdom

Amazing building, lovely staff, fantastic location! Bars/restaurant very popular - so do make weekend reservations early

Tanya Ireland

The property is in a brilliant location for access to everything that Edinburgh has to offer. In addition, the apartment was well presented and almost "as new" condition. Kitchen and laundry excellent.

Derek Australia

beautiful room and amazing staff. couldn’t thank them enough for being so welcoming

Simone United Kingdom

Everything was absolutely perfect. You get given a 4 digit code at reception upon check-in. They use a keyless entry system which I loved...you simply enter the code on the little key pad outside your door when you enter your room. I was then shown up to the room by the concierge who explained where everything was. The room itself was stunning! Everything was so plush and of a very high standard. The whole place is beautiful...and absolutely immaculate. I chose this place given it's proximity to the train station (3 minute walk) and the excellent shopping at Mulltrees Walk and St James Quarter...all within a few minutes walk. I was so sad to leave :D I will definitely be back. I'm in Edinburgh every few months for a few nights and this will now be my go-to place.

Cheryl United Kingdom

Everything...didn't want to leave! Such a comfortable & beautiful room. Sumptuous surroundings and everything you could possibly need for your stay. Staff were absolutely amazing. I'll definitely be back.

Cheryl United Kingdom

Lindsay United Kingdom

Check-in was very efficient and the host was really friendly. He was there on check-out too and was very helpful.

Mary-anne United Kingdom

Arrived early, but our room was ready so we were able to drop our things off and go exploring straightaway. We were also given un upgraded room for free!

Scott United Kingdom
