Was ok. Good location. Would be nice if it had coffee and water on arrival day. I was so so tired but had to go looking for where to buy these.

We have stayed in this location on several occasions. The serviced suites are to be recommended & we usually try to stay in the same one. The location is excellent - central & close to some of the historic architecture in the city. On previous reviews I have mentioned the state of the windows - those overlooking Union Street are absolutely filthy outside. Clean them please!!!!!

Enjoyed our stay, was nice to get away for a break. Did find someone’s perfume and clothes label in the room. The sponge we received for cleaning our dishes had already been used by someone. Considering the price for a night which I’d say is a little high you’d think every apartment would have new sponges for new residents. Considering all of this I would return to the apartments as this isn’t my first time staying with yourselves and I do love the apartments. Staff are a bonus as they were all very polite and kind.

Very accommodating when we had been refused our booking at the Siberia Hotel basically for being English. Turned out to be a good thing. Immaculate, well equipped room and friendly helpful staff

Gorgeous room, horrible everything else
I love the suite but checking in was a NIGHTMARE. It’s extremely confusing because the door is locked but there are no instructions- just for “delivery drivers” to call a number. I called the number on the website, a very rude person told me she’d let the receptionist know to open the door but I waited 15 minutes— outside. In the rain. With my luggage. I’d been traveling all day and just wanted to get to my room. I was almost crying then banged on the door and someone opened it finally and she chastised me for not already knowing to call the number on the paper saying delivery drivers should call that number. She then made me wait another half an hour for my room. It was absolutely ridiculous

Really quite a good property - once I was able to gain entry. Corner apartment was very large and nicely appointed. This is the best accommodation I’ve had - and infinitely better than the hotel in Edinburgh with an elevator that didn’t work and uncaring staff. The only minor complaint was that the washer was unstable during the spin cycle - and the street side windows were very dirty. Otherwise excellent!

Good room, but loud
Centrally located but the church bell ringing every 15 min between 7 am and 11 pm and people on the street yelling and shouting after on and off until 3 am every day, was frustrating. Nice apartment but asked for a bath and quiet location, which didn't happen. Reception isn't always there and there's a number to call for assistance which assumes you have a phone. Maybe indicate the desk phone can be used? Also suggest providing laundry and dishwasher detergent since these appliances are there. Good there was dish soap.

Check in was a bit of a nightmare. I’d emailed twice via ebookers regards early check in and had no response so ended up calling them. Upon arrival we were left standing outside I. The rain as no one was answering the intercom door and also the telephone number that was listed on the front door. Ended up calling the phone I had phoned regards early check in. Finally got in after half an hour. Went to wait in brew dog and £21 for a wine, pint of ale and two packets of crisps! Apartment itself is beautiful. Very clean, warm and modern. Outside house in the bedrooms is minimal. Had a random knocking at our door at 3am…. Obviously she had the wrong floor. All in all I’d stay again but I think check in needs to be addressed.

Noisy location
Very noisy location with a town hall bell opposite that rings four times every hour till 11pm, that and a pub on the ground floor and night time revellers in the street till about 3am make it not ideal for a good nights sleep.

Excellent value
Except for a couple of minor details, everything was in good condition and very clean. We could have done with some advice about parking, and a second guest chair in reception, as we had to wait a while for the receptionist to appear. We were a little surprised that admittance on arriving required the use of a mobile phone and anyone without it could be left on the street for a while. On the whole, though, it was a very enjoyable stay and excellent value, and we'd happily return.
