La situation et l’aménagement de la chambre
Dans l’ensemble tout était correct
We had all the conveniences of home, washer/dryer, fridge, stove, microwave, etc. We like to pack very light and save money not eating out, so this was a nice plus.
Nothing I didn't really like. Had a little trouble figuring out the shower and microwave, but that's just because they were ones I wasn't used to, but no big deal.
Camas y almohadas cómodas. Cocina bastante completa aunque quizás escasa para largas estancias. Desayuno ya en la habitación cuando llegas. Supermercado cerca. En la parte de abajo de la Royal Mile, bien situado para explorar la ciudad vieja
Espacios un poco estrechos en los dormitorios y en el baño
环境干净,员工热情有礼,离各个景点都很近
如果入住时间可以灵活安排更好
Position
La colazione era abbondante e la stanza era superaccessoriata, la migliore stanza in cui ho alloggiato per la mia vacanza
El apart ofrecía todo lo necesario Estuvimos más que cómodos
La ubicación un poco lejos de la zona céntrica
Lovely room, some homely touches, good shower, excellent location, so near the old town.
Absolutely terrible internet, essential when travelling, had an emergency back home and couldn’t communicate efficiently. Couldn’t do anything involving internet, worst we’ve had in over 2 months of travelling.
Excellent location, room had everything needed. Staff very friendly & helpful. Very clean.
The furniture in our particular room was a bit tired.
النظافة والتعامل الجيد مقبل الموظفون والموقع هادئ بالرغم انه في السنتر وقريبتكم كل شئ . شكرا" لجميع الموظفين هناك كأنو لطيفين جدا".
السعر كان غالي
Property is a short walk from Royal Mile and is well located. Apartment seemed to be recently refurbished. All bed covers were white and clean. Hardware floors . Sofa was a light beige and seemed quite clean. Rooms were smallish but had nice windows and lots of sunlight.
Building is not at all glamorous. Entrance is quite sad. Double bed was tiny and the mattress was very soft with no metal frame around it so I kept rolling off. Very uncomfortable. Gave me an awful back ache. Bathroom and bedroom doors kept closing on their own . Obviously floor was slanted. Very annoying specially in the bathroom when you turned away to pick something up and then backed into a door that suddenly closed. Second bathroom had a water heater that had to be turned on in order to shower. Tepid water and only a trickle . In the end we all used the “master” bathroom which was actually smaller than the other. Very small. Kitchen is poorly stocked and very dark as it shares one small window with the living room. No coffee machine ( there is a French press).
Excellent Location. Cleanliness should be improved a bit
Everything except a bit of house keeping
L’emplacement
Difficile de faire sécher les serviettes de toilettes. Une machine à laver le linge mais rien pour le suspendre. Les indications de mise en marche du four effacées. Un slip de femme entre le divan et le mur est resté 4 nuits malgré l’avoir signalé….
Lokasyonu...daire düzgün...temiz..kahvaltı yetetli...
Küçük bir balkon olsaydı...sigara içenler için 6 kattan kapıya iniyorduk...kapı önünde bir küi tablası yoktu..
La ubicación era buena, el tamaño de la habitación también.
Las opciones de cortesía para facilitar hospedaje no son buenas, el resguardo de maletas no es amplio, no hay servicios sanitarios al llegar (cuando aún no estás registrado), no hay opciones de un registro anticipado, el costo es muy alto para amenidades que ofrecen. El resto de mi estadía en Edimburgo decidimos utilizar otra opción de alojamiento.
Nothing
Unfortunately, the overall experience was disappointing and did not justify the very high price. We paid for two nights of parking, yet when we returned on the second night, there was no space available in the designated parking area. The number of parking spaces is extremely limited, and paying for parking clearly does not guarantee that a space will actually be available. We also had repeated problems with the door key cards. The card reader is outdated and unreliable, and we frequently struggled to open the doors. This became very frustrating during our stay. Another serious issue was the bathroom. Water collects on the floor because there is no proper floor drain, which is both inconvenient and unacceptable for accommodation at this price level. What was even more frustrating was the sofa bed. The apartment was clearly advertised as having a sofa bed, so naturally we expected it to be usable as part of the accommodation we had already paid for. However, when we requested bedding for it, we were told that we had to pay an additional fee for every night. This extra charge was not made clear during the booking process and felt very unreasonable. The elevator is also extremely slow, adding to the overall inconvenience. In summary, the apartment is significantly overpriced for its condition, facilities, and level of service. With the parking problems, unreliable key cards, poor bathroom drainage, unexpected extra charges, and slow elevator, the value for money was very poor. I would not consider the stay worth the price we paid.
位置特别好,楼下就是超市,还有啥都有的中国超市。房间也很宽敞和舒适
Wi-Fi
Boa localização a 2 min. a pé da Royal Mile. Apartamento agradável, limpo e silencioso. Cozinha completa. Pessoal simpático.
Elevador pequeno e lento.
The rooms were basic and there was no hot water in the shower.
Good location
Needs a bit of TLC . Carpets worn . Rooms need a fresh coat of paint
Cercania con el centro
No tenga un lugar mas cerrado donde dejar el equipaje antes del chekin y el colchon del sofá mejorable en limpieza y comodidad
Near n clean
Slow lifts n no trolleys to take luggage to rooms
En general muy agradable y Excelente ubicacion. Pasamos tres dias muy confortables
El mantenimiento de algunos enchufes.
Het appartement was zeer ruim, en heel netjes.
De eerste badkamer is zeker toe aan vernieuwing. De tweede badkamer stond de ventilatieknop aan het pkafond, voor kleine mensen niet te bereiken. De wc staat veel te hoog, voor kleine mensen niet ok.
Modern decor,little touches regarding breakfast options in the rooms.
La situació
Donen un esmorzar inclòs que fa pena , i el personal de recepció poc empàtic
Breakfast in room. Appliances. Convenient to Royal Mile and buses.
Bathtub/shower. Slow elevator. No directions for appliances.
Very close to transport around the city, good apt. For 4 people , clean
Breakfast was not buffet but some bread, butter and jam in the kitchen , wasn't worth the money paid , elevator very old
Breakfast in room. Convenience. Appliances. Easy access to Royal Mile and buses.
Bathtub. Elevator. No directions for appliances.
Spacious, clean and tidy.
Rent og fin beliggenhet i forhold til byen. Velutstyrt
Siste dagen da vi skulle reise, ble vi ekspidert av en ansatt som ikke var hjelpsom eller imøtekommende. Hun virket irritert da vi ikke helt forsto hva hun mente i forhold til depositum. Vi spurte også etter kart over byen for å ha med hjem. Det mente hun vi ikke trengte da vi skulle hjem. Ellers veldig hyggelig og hjelpsomt personalet
Appartamenti ampi e con tutti i confort, letti molto comodi e bagni spaziosi. La posizione è strategica essendo praticamente sulla Royal Mile e ogni fan di Outlander sarà contento di trovarsi accanto a un luogo reso famoso dalla serie TV.
I rilevatori di fumo iper sensibili. Scattano anche per il vapore del cibo scaldato.
Posizione ottima, zona tranquilla ma centrale. Camera abbastanza grande e angolo cottura molto attrezzato. Colazione fornita in camera con possibilità di chiedere refil di tutto, buon compromesso.
Abbiamo chiesto le pulizie in camera una sola volta su 5 notti e fatalità per un incidente del personale non l’hanno fatta. Siamo rientrate fortunatamente nel pomeriggio e ce ne siamo accorte (hanno lasciato un avviso) ma abbiamo dovuto chiedere noi il cambio biancheria che avevamo lasciato a terra come da indicazioni. L’imprevisto ci sta, ci mancherebbe, ma forse con un po’ più di organizzazione avrebbero potuto fare loro un check nelle camere e almeno cambiare la biancheria dove a terra. Ad ogni modo niente di grave e non risolvibile.
Location was perfect It was spacious and modern Clean and well equipped
The area in its immediate surrounding is somewhat scruffy but once ur back under the alley way and on to the royal mile it makes no difference
Idea area for sightseeing. A kitchen to prepare your own food . And a lot of breakfast to fill you up.
A little bit noisy at times from vehicles . But only being picky
Ubicación: a 12 minutos del casco histórico y sin ruido para dormir
El extractor de la cocina no tenía suficiente potencia... y el detector de humos se activó al pasar un poco de bacon por la satén. Para el desayuno, para 4 días y 4 personas, sólo pusieron una botella de 1 litro: muy poca leche
La ubicación
No hacen limpieza
La cercanía al centro y la habitación están bien
Tutto soddisfacente
Although our location was ideal for access to the Royal Mile. This resulted in a quiet restful venue when we were ready to be quiet.
No complaints.
The location was perfect just walking distance from the royal mile… just 2 mins walk.
Overall cleanliness and rooms were good but the rooms were too compact and opening door of one room would just make so much noise disturbing the person in the other room. Like literally even opening door from one would just bang the doors of next room
Excellent location, a stone’s throw from the high street, with many restaurants and shops nearby (Tesco Express 2 minutes away on foot). Very well appointed room, with kitchenette, dishwasher and washer/dryer and room service available upon request. Very comfortable beds. It offered an ideal place to stay for a week.
There was nothing to not like.
Reception is open 24 hours and location is close to downtown.
Very expensive and they don’t have store to keep luggages.
A bit tired in places but location was great for the fringe. Great having the kitchenette
Todo. Estaba limpísimo y muy tranquilo a la vez que céntrico
Nada. Me gusto todo
La posizione
Wifi deludente da migliorare
Location. Reasonable sized room.
Had to change rooms as WiFi didn't work in the first one. The lift had a mind of its own, no indicators n erratic movement. We were not informed in advance that "Breakfast Included" meant a kit of cold breakfast requisites stocked in the kitchen and there was no breakfast or dining room fr a hot breakfast !!? Staffing was skimpy and some staff members were not particularly helpful, though some others were ok.
Tolle Lage unweit Royal Mile und Palace of Holyrood, ausreichend Platz für 4 Erwachsene 2Bäder, Küche, Wohnraum und 2 Doppelzimmer Parkplatz ( kostenpflichtig 20 Pfund pro Tag) bewacht und direkt am Hotel
Frühstück auf Zimmer zwar alles da, aber alles abgepackte Fertigprodukte
Avere a disposizione cucina attrezzata e comodo soggiorno
Avrei preferito piani superiori anziché piano meno 1
The location was excellent. The accommodation was not luxury but was perfect for our needs.
The pillows had seen better days
Flott beliggenhet. Godt utstyrt leilighet. God seng.
Bestilte og betalte frokost som viste seg å være en liter melk og en flaske appelsinjuice og den største ansamlingen av sukkerholdige og ultraprosseserte matvarer og pålegg jeg opplevd på et brett. (Se bilde). Mitt tips er heller å kjøpe inn sjøl på den lokale Tesco-butikken, 100 m unna. Er ikke superimponert over hjelpen fra personalet i resepsjonen. Da vi ba om ekstra toalettpapir, ble dette levert dagen etterpå. Opplevde ikke at de anstrengte seg for å hjelpe.
Clean, comfortable, well equipped and friendly
Location wasn't the best, expensive and the car park small and tight.
Spacious rooms, clean, and nice kitchenette.
When we arrived from International flight they didn’t offer a bathroom we could have used to freshen up. Person who checked us in was not friendly.
Great location
The reception staff were the main reason I wouldn’t return no particularly rude but also not welcoming would even say verging on rude. Also the room I was in didn’t look like any of these pictures I’ve definitely stayed in better hotels in Edinburgh with better locations. This hotel was hidden and very back street hidden and honestly run down on appearance
Bien ubicado junto a la calle principal pero apartado de la zona más concurrida. Tiene dos baños, cocina moderna con labavajillas y lavadora-secadora. Tranquilo y silencioso por la noche.
La alarma de incendios se ponía a pitar cuando hacias una tostada. En recepción alguna persona no es especialmente simpatica. La ducha se salia por el suelo ya que sólo tien media mampara. El ascensor muy lento.
Spacious, good location. Local supermarket was nearby. Comfy beds and well stocked kitchen.
Showers had low water pressure and were tricky to get constant temperature. Towel rails were too hot to touch. Designated parking places were limited.
Location for a few days at the Fringe is ideal. Reception staff were very pleasant and efficient.
Stayed here before and it suits our needs, e.g. parking space and location. However starting to get a little tired, little things, e.g. internal door sticking, carpets on the stairs getting a little frayed, etc.
Location only
The only good thing about the property is the location… Furniture is worn and torn even the carpet on the ground is worn..the photos has nothing to do with reality…there is a TV for 1998 in the room..the floor 2 rooms facing the street directly: zero privacy..value for money: it is a rip off
Nice and Handy to all the attractions and very well designed. The fact that the apartment had two bathrooms was great for our family.
We had a lot of trouble using the washing machine because we had trouble using the QR code and when we did get it the instructions were difficult to follow. We felt that simple step by step instructions on paper would have worked better instead of dealing with mobile and internet reception problems.
The location was great. The staff was lovely.
Our only problem was there was a VERY loud water pump of some sort. The staff didn’t hear it which is difficult to believe. It sounded like it was in the closet in the kitchen. It kept us UP ALL NIGHT every night of our stay which was extremely aggravating. WE WERE VERY GLAD TO LEAVE.
It was clean and has a good location
Customer service could be better. Disappointed in pre pd breakfast option that turned out to be a package of items left in the room at check in that included boxes of cereal, cheese and crackers, milk orange juice and some cookies. I was expected a breakfast room with coffee, fruit and some breads/ pastriess etc.
Location perhaps. Or nothing?
I recently booked two identical apartments, expecting them to be of the same standard, but they turned out to be completely different in both furniture and layout. The second apartment was significantly smaller, and to make matters worse, the dishwasher and the washing machine were completely broken.The cleanliness of both rooms was absolutely appalling. They were incredibly dirty. I accidentally looked under the beds, and it seemed like they had literally never been cleaned before. The photos on the website are a complete lie and do not match the reality at all. All the equipment and furniture are extremely old, worn-out, and exhausted.On top of that, the staff was extremely rude and unprofessional. I tried to say hello to the cleaning lady several times, but she just turned away and ignored me. To top it all off, late one evening, the electricity went out in all the power outlets. When I informed the night porter, he actually told me to fix it myself!The price for these apartments is absolutely astronomical and definitely not worth it. I would strongly advise everyone to avoid this place. I do not recommend these apartments to anyone!
Está céntrico y es muy cómodo
Se llama aparthotel pero no tiene los servicios de un hotel. El desayuno es escaso, se quedan rápido sin provisiones y no limpian a diario los apartamentos
Si por la ubicación
No se debe llamar hotel ya que no tiene los servicios de un hotel
It's location was excellent.
The lift was very slow.
Sehr zentral gelegen. Modern und umfangreich ausgestattet.
Ich fand es relativ teuer, was sicher auch am gerade stattfindenden Festival lag.
10 minute walk from Waverley station, building is in the heart of the old town just off the Royal Mile. Accommodation was clean, fully equipped and modern. Very close to a Tesco express. Comfortable nights sleep
Beside student quarters - some messy bin spillage on the road. No ‘netting’ or ‘voile’ on the windows - so room was very exposed when curtains were opened (when needing the natural light to get ready etc). Shower turned cold very quickly, so don’t turn on washing machine or dishwasher at same time as shower and don’t have 2 females washing their hair / shaving legs etc, you will literally need to be in and out to have piping hot water, each room has its own water tank which takes time to heat up. There were some broken cupboard doors but no big deal. The toaster had something weird burnt inside it (we forgot to mention to the desk).
Location Room
Close to the Royal Mile, staff was helpful when asked. Room had air conditioning. Good breakfast options in room.
Requested 2 twin beds, they were pushed together, so more like 1 queen bed. There was no rubber bathmat in the tub/shower, making it slippery while trying to shower. When we mentioned that to staff on check out, we were told we could have requested a rubber bath mat! Well, if mats were available, why not just supply them or at least let guests know they are available!!!! It’s a major safety issue!! Plus, the appliance instructions they supplied on their Q code, did not include instructions for the oven. Had to have staff come up to show us how to use it!

La ubicación
Calidad precio, pequeño para 5 personas
sehr gute, zentrale Lage.
Laut Buchung war das Frühstück inkludiert. Es gab aber keinen Frühstücksraum, sondern "einzelne Fertigprodukte" sind im Apartment verfügbar gewesen (Toastbroat, Brotaufstriche, ...). Es gab kein frisches Gebäck und keinen Kaffee (auch keine Kaffeemaschine). Sehr hoher Preis!
It’s so convenient and for the most part, has everything you need. It’s nice to have a little kitchen and really wonderful to have a little laundry machine in the room.
There were no hooks anywhere, including the bathroom, and only a handful of hangers so storage was a problem. There is plenty of space for hooks. Also, our room had very loud plumbing noises.
Excellent location
Autoabstellplätze vorhanden, jedoch mit hohen Nebenkosten. Sehr nahe zum Zentrum.
Etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Kein Frühstücksbuffet sondern bei Ankunft schon im Zimmer. Cornflakes, kleine Butter, Marmelade, Crackers, Toast.
Perfect for family
No Air-condition no fan , in 5 days stay they clean the room only one day very bad management of cleaning room,
We have been going for years for the festivals, which says it all. Not cheap but we like it.

The apartment was excellent and had everything you needed, . maybe does need a few more kitchen utensils. The position of the apartment was excellent. There was a Tesco less than 100 m away. Location to the Royal Mall superb. The apartment was very quiet at night
Just needed one or two more Kichen utensils.
Great location
Breakfast wasn’t really great
Ubicación
El personal de la recepción. A excepción de una señora rubia de mediana edad.
Great location, everything you need with enough space and great air-conditioning
A little tired in places. A bit of redecoration needed
Posizione ottima, ideale se il soggiorno è di più giorni e se si vuole utilizzare la cucina.
Le stanze avevano un odore acre, forse dovuto alla moquette, non è previsto un servizio colazione solo un kit di cibo a pagamento. Conviene andare a piedi nei locali circostanti
Good location but still quiet at night. Apartment modern and clean with everything you need .
Lift was a bit slow so we usually just took the stairs.
Discreto, stanze vecchie.
Bien ubicado y con 2 baños
La ducha de una de las habitaciones tenía poca presión
