    The staff were so friendly and helpful. We were staying for one night to attend the Taylor Swift concert at the Murrayfield and were left a little goodie bag in our room with some ‘swiftie’ bracelets and stickers. Really lovely personal touch. Ghd straighteners and hairdryer provided, fully stocked mini fridge with a drinks tray (extra charge if used), fresh milk, Nespresso coffee machine with pods, tea, kettle. Lovely big mirror to help her ready. All round was a fantastic location and really lovely hotel. Would definitely recommend and book again on another trip.

    The bed was MUCH too firm. The pillows were flat. I asked for extra duvet/pillows, but they never arrived. I ended up having to use the window bench cushion for a bit more comfort.

    The view, the amenities, the spaciousness of the room. Great location. Lovely breakfast

    Great breakfast (included) at adjacent restaurant. Super staff. Car parking was subsidised at public carpark 6 mins walk away, but good opportunity to drop luggage first. This is pretty good for the very centre of Edinburgh! Apartment had excellent facilities, all of high standard. Beautiful decor.

    It's a bit pricey, but everything in Edinburgh is.

    Why stay anywhere else? This is a brilliant location as your Edinburgh base. The tram is literally out your front door. The property itself is magnificent. I stayed here twice in one week, and both times I was upgraded to an apartment! Huge, breathtaking spaces! Absolutely immaculate. I truly felt as though I was a local for the three nights I was there — I definitely didn't want to leave!

    Amazing room, a view, every little detail in the room. Sparkling clean. The breakfast in the cafe connected to the hotel (The Huxley), a lot of options, all taste perfect, and the staff is very friendly. We also went to their bar a bit further the road - nice and quiet, 20% off on food for the guests. All in all - we loved our stay!

    The room wasn’t ready when we arrived, 50 minutes after the check in time. Jilly (very helpful and friendly receptionist) apologised and offered us two complimentary drinks from the in-house bar (The Huxley) whilst the room was being cleaned, we enjoyed our drinks and waited another 30+ minutes. Disappointing that the room wasn’t ready when we arrived and we still had the normal check out time.

    The apartment was spacious and luxurious. All rooms were large with all the amenities required.

    In retrospect, the door at the end of the corridor connecting the stairs closed with an alarming ‘bang’ sound each time someone went through it. Maybe the door closer needs some adjustment in terms of the swing/latch speed. This did not create a problem for us since we were always exhausted in the day from sightseeing and fell asleep deeply at night, otherwise it would have been disturbing. Also the bathtub was a bit slippery and we had to take extra caution when standing up and getting out.

    The location is perfect, and the staff were most welcoming and helpful during our stay. The room is spacious with a good view of the street, and the bathroom was satisfactory. Besides, we enjoyed the hotel restaurants and the bar which offered us generous guest discounts.

    The night receptionist on a couple of occasions couldn’t answer basic questions about what time the in-house bar closes etc. Minor complaint.

    Excellent apartment in a great location. Very well fitted out with high quality fixtures and all mod cons we needed.

    It is on a noisy street (Princes Street), but with ear plugs, it was no problem at all!

    The staff was super friendly and helpful. The room was beautiful, well-appointed, and comfortable. We enjoyed the tea/coffee in the room, and tea cakes! It was very easy to access the tram to the airport, and right near everything. Would definitely stay again!
