Good location, but disappointing for a 4-star property

The location was excellent, and the maintenance team was responsive and helpful. Unfortunately, the overall experience did not match the expectations of a 4-star property.

Check-in was frustrating due to a shift change around arrival time, and the process felt disorganized. The apartment also showed significant wear, with marks, grime, and chipped paint throughout that felt closer to a 2-star property.

Cleanliness was the biggest issue. While the sheets, shower, and sink were clean, housekeeping missed several details: the dishwasher contained a dirty coffee cup, the tea cups had visible food particles when turned over, and a sticker from a previous guest was left by the entrance. These details made it seem like the unit had not received a proper final inspection.

The response to cleaning concerns was disappointing, as the issue was not fully listened to or resolved. Maintenance was the positive part of the stay, fixing the dishwasher, toilet paper holder, and eventually the AC after two nights of poor sleep. However, these issues should have been caught before arrival.

Great location, but the cleanliness, upkeep, and service did not match the price or 4-star rating.

We loved the studio apartment with all kitchen utensils. Coffee pods were the best. The little snacks and fruits in the lobby with chill water always helped us after long walks and thousands of steps. The staff are the gem. All were so welcoming, polite, kind and helpful. The location is superb. Thank you

The hotel couldn’t be in a better location and was extremely clean and quiet.

My only comment would be that since many of us are on vacation, it would be nice to get cleaning done. Cleaning is only done for those that stay eight or more nights, otherwise it’s at a cost. Also, they only offer one product that is to serve as hair wash & body wash.

The good: Great location right on the Royal Mile with a lot of food options nearby. It is also just a 15-minute walk from the Airlink bus station (the shuttle to and from the airport).

The bad: We stayed in a one-bedroom apartment with two adults and two kids. The apartment is tiny—only one person can fit in the kitchen area at a time, and there is absolutely no room for four people to sit and have breakfast.

This is an aparthotel directly on the Royal Mile, walking distance to everything. It was clean, reasonably spacious, and the kitchen was functional. There were a few things that did not work as intended but nothing we couldn't work around. It was expensive for what you get, but you're paying for the location.

Pros: good location on the Royal Mile, good sized room, full size fridge, washing and drying facilities on site a reasonable price to use, breakfast was pretty decent as an inclusion in my package.

Cons: some maintenance needed (toilet roll holder half hanging off the wall, air conditioning in room was pathetic - unable to adjust colder, didn’t cool the room at all and had to sleep with window open and loud street noise. The air conditioned gym was colder than my room! Bed was so hard and uncomfortable to sleep on.

The very early check-in (thank you, Rasa) more than made up for a few small inconveniences. Ideal location on the Royal Mile and delivered everything you would expect from an Aparthotel.

Wifi on the 3 third floor was dodgy a lot of the time. The TV remote batteries were dead, and the heated towel rack never worked. As said previously, all minor inconveniences during the stay.

The room was in a tired condition. The bed didn’t stay in an upright position and the lock strap on the window was torn out, reception were informed, it neither were fixed in the 5 days we were there.

The towel warmer didn’t work, the clothes dryer was too rusty to use, the bathroom light flickered on/off.

Overall the rooms felt tired and the maintenance and presentation of the room was lacking.

The small kitchen was a bonus, but a lack of utensils and no standard items like salt and pepper made it almost impossible to make anything.

Location is great. It is walking distance to everything you would want to see.
We were not informed which day we would have a room cleaning, or even if we would. Some communication would have been appreciated as they removed items that they assumed were garbage but we had wanted to keep.

Scotland meals are expensive everywhere, but with us staying for 8 days, we felt the cost for breakfast was a wee bit high for the breakfast they served. Perhaps include it in the cost of the room instead..preferably at a lower rate.

Overall though, the facilities were clean, lovely old stone building and close to the Royal Mile which is what we wanted.

It was a good place to stay for a weekend. It is as advertised and worked well for a couple of days. My concern is security the front desk staff is young. I forgot my room number they told me I asked for another key they gave it to me.. all with out any form of ID. Finally I left my key in the room with my adult son and they scanned me up the elevator with out any ID. These were all different times of the day. Yes I was a bit scattered but it really bothered me that no one asked me for ID and it wasn’t the same person who I spoke to each time. Would I stay again probably not because I felt unsafe with the kids manning the desk.
