The apartment was perfect for our needs. My only problem was with the gentleman that met us there to give keys and go over the apartment. He said there were no instructions for the washing machine and he didn't know how to use it. He made it sound like the furnace was the water heater and that could have been a miscommunication but he did call it the water heater and there were written instructions so he said he was sure we would figure it out. After a day of realizing the water was hot always we figured it out that was for the furnace. He could have been a lot clearer and we spoke the same language. Not sure how it would have worked out for someone not speaking English. Oh, and we did find the washing machine manual in a cupboard. Other than unclear instructions the place was perfect for our needs.

Dear Anna, Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback on your stay in our property. We're pleased that it proved perfect for your needs and apologize that our employee's instructions were unclear. It appears that the confusion has arisen because this apartment has a combi boiler which supplies hot water on demand, while allowing you to program times for the heating. We're glad you were able to work it out from the manual and please be assured that should you decide to stay with us again, you can always contact us during your stay for assistance with any issues. Kind regards, Management of Edinburgh Landmarks Apartments

Apt 14 - Extraordinary highs and a few lows On the positive side the apartment was extraordinary. Spacious with high ceilings, filled with grand yet comfortable furnishings, and equipped with a full modern kitchen with a full range of appliances including a clothes washer and (sort of) dryer, it was almost the perfect apartment for us. Plus the location can't be beat as the building sits on the corner of the Royal Mile and the North Bridge (a short walk from the train station and midway between Edinburgh Castle and Holyrood). There were however a few downsides. The first was the aforementioned ventless dryer. We've dealt with them before so we knew the limitations - basically you need to 'half bake' the clothes then leave them out overnight to dry. The second was that we could only get one window to open - in the worst heatwave ever to hit Scotland. Third were the beds which were by far the softest ones we've ever encountered - you sleep with head and feet far above your middle. Lastly, the check-in process is rather bizarre as someone you've never met nor communicated with leads you to and around your apartment. All that said, I would definitely stay here again for a shorter 1-3 night visit to Edinburgh. The apartment is just so beautiful and convenient that the shortcomings can be overlooked.

Dear Leo, Many thanks for reviewing your recent stay at our Royal Mile Mansion - Edinburgh Landmarks Apartment. We're very pleased that you found the apartment extraordinary, well-equipped with appliances and filled with grand, comfortable furnishings and that you'd like to stay here again on your next visit to Edinburgh. We're also delighted that you enjoyed the apartment's central location within short walking distance of Waverley train station and other Edinburgh landmarks. We also appreciate your feedback on the downsides you mentioned in your review. We're sorry to hear that the washer-dryer didn't totally dry your clothes. We don't advertise the dryer because this is a common shortfall with these machines. Nonetheless we think it still benefits guests to be able to accelerate the drying of their clothes during their stay. Regarding the windows in the apartment, we can confirm that all of them can be opened; however, as they are double glazed to prevent noise from the street, you may find them difficult to open if you aren't familiar with the style, but our team is always happy to help should you encounter this issue on your next visit. Most guests find the soft beds in the apartment comfortable but of course this comes down to personal preference. As for the check-in arrangement, we endeavour to meet all our guests to ensure they understand how to use the amenities in the apartment. As many of our guests are visiting Edinburgh for the first time, we've been informed that they find it helpful to be welcomed in person where they have the opportunity to ask any questions they may have. Once again, thank you very much for your wonderful review. It is really great to know that our apartment made for a satisfying stay. We look forward to welcoming you back to Edinburgh in future. Best regards, Edinburgh Landmarks Apartment

Dear guest, Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on your stay. We're sorry to hear that you found the windows to be dirty and couldn't open them. The windows can be opened in the apartment but the locks may be an unfamiliar design to you. We'd have been happy to explain or demonstrate how to do this had you contacted us during your stay. Opening the windows would also have dispelled the moist smell you experienced which we expect was caused by no air circulation during the recent heatwave. We hope you at least enjoyed the property's central location and the warm weather during your stay. Kind regards, Management of Edinburgh Landmarks Apartments

The bed is like a rock and after 3 days, I left in intense pain and I enjoy camping! Barely slept between the noise of buses/trucks on the road outside on the cobblestone streets and people buzzing the room every night at 2 am to get in to a different room. The location is great but that is the only advantage of this place but saying that, the amount of drunk people on the street coming out of the pub next door negates that. Everything is small and cramped but clean. Won’t stay again, especially at that price. Hostel would have been quieter and cheaper!

Dear guests, Thank you for taking the time to provide us the feedback about your stay. I am happy to know that you found our apartment clean and located in a central location which offered you an easy access to most of the landmarks attractions. However, I am sorry to hear that you found some of the amenities did not meet your expectation. It is true that there are quite a lot of pubs and restaurants nearby as it is located along Royal Mile where it is the central location for tourists and nightlife. I apologise for the inconvenience caused by the pedestrians on the street. I guess it was the weekend for Six Nations Championship so people went to pub for celebration. I have shared your comments with the housekeeping team and will ensure to rectify any short coming for a better stay for our guests. We hope to be able to welcome you back on a return visit in the future. Best regards, Edinburgh Landmarks Apartments

Four go Christmas shopping and socialising.
We had a very enjoyable 2-night stay at 5 Chessell Court over 14th-16th December. The apartment is in an ideal location just off the Royal Mile and a five minute walk from Waverley Station. We all found the apartment very spacious, very clean and comfortable. Being in a courtyard it is very quiet and it really is location, location, location. There are numerous excellent amenities in the direct local area without having to go the other side of Waverley and Princes Street. The apartment is a lovely place to while away an evening after the hustle and bustle of Christmas shopping and following a meal in one of the many handily-located eateries. We cooked breakfast in the excellently equipped kitchen. Communication prior to and greeting on arrival were very good - overall a fabulous stay and we will be back! A hidden gem.

Convenient and quiet location, very spacious
We booked a unit on Cambridge Street that turned out to be a hidden gem right in the heart of the main attractions. This massive flat was tucked away on a quiet little street just short walk from the hustle and bustle of Lothian Rd and Princes St. The unit was fairly expensive, but it could accommodate a much larger group. I would definitely consider staying here again.

Budget type apartment with convenient Old Town location. Within short walk to local grocery store as well as numerous restaurants, pubs and sites of interest. Management staff was helpful and responded to emails promptly. Apartment itself was clean enough to be comfortable but would benefit from deep cleaning. Some of the furnishings were excessively worn.

Dear Anthony, Thank you so much for taking the time to review your recent stay in the Edinburgh Landmarks Apartments. I am pleased to know that you found the apartment spacious and great for a family stay. Majority of the apartments in Edinburgh Old Town has no lift access to preserve its original building features, which is also one of the reasons that makes the Old Town to be designated a UNESCO World Heritage site. Thank you for recommending our apartment to our future guests and we are looking forward to see you again soon. Best regards, Edinburgh Landmarks Apartments

Katie was great with communication before arrival. Our train was delayed and she adjusted her schedule to meet us later than originally planned. The apartment (3 Parkgate, Gentle’s Entry) is modern, nice and clean, It’s located just off The Royal Mile near the Palace. The mountain outside the living room window is a great hiking adventure. The fresh flowers,the milk in the frig, the apples and cookies, all for us to enjoy during our stay, were a surprise and much appreciated. STAY HERE...you will be delighted!

Wonderful place to stay and close to the museums, castle, restaurants and bars. There was even a view of the castle from the loving room. Excellent greeting from Katie. Everything we could need was provided. I would recommend a fan while there's works going on as it can be a bit warm without the window open and loud from about 7am with the works outside starting. Would stay again.

Dear Ashley, Thank you for the 5 stars review of the Edinburgh Landmarks Apartments. I am glad you enjoyed your stay in the Webster’s Land Apartment and found the location to be amazing, well-situated and close to museums, restaurants, bars and Edinburgh Castle. I will also pass along your compliment to Katie. Thank you for your recommendation. As July and August is a festival period in Edinburgh, the Grassmarket area will be busier than other times in the year. The windows in the apartment can be opened but I understand it may be a bit warm if you need to close the windows to reduce the noise. I will pass your recommendation to the management team and will take the necessary steps to improve guests’ experience. We look forward to seeing you on your next trip to Edinburgh. Best regards, Edinburgh Landmarks Apartments

Excellent position, but...
This is an old property right on the Royal Mile, and thus superbly placed. I experienced noise issues, but in fairness they had been pointed out to me by the letting agent. I relied upon what proved to be ineffective double glazing. Against the usual tests, this is just OK, nothing more.

Dear Michael, Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback about your stay at our apartment. I am glad that you found our location convenient and feel it closes to many must-see attractions along the Royal Mile. I am also disappointed to hear that you experience noise issue even the windows are double glazing. Royal Mile is a busy street during summer time as many festivals and events are held around the Old Town area. The old building is one of the characteristics of the historic old town but we try our best to keep the interior aspect of the apartment look comfortable for our guests. Once again, I apologise for the inconveniences that you experienced during your stay. We look forward to welcoming you again in Edinburgh. Best wishes, Edinburgh Landmarks Apartments

Not what I expected
I book through Hotels.com and then I expect a good standard of what I order. Here I do not get a hotel, but an apartment of a standard I did not imagine. These apartments were under the catogory a Hostel or Airbnb and this did not appear in the advertisement when I ordered. Had this been described in the ad, then of course I had the booket somewhere else. I do not like to be fooled and now I feel cheated. I Have been fooled to buy a product that costs more than it is worth.

Dear Kent, We appreciate you taking the time to provide us with the feedback about your stay. I am very sorry to hear that your stay did not meet expectations. From your review, I understand that you were expecting to stay in a hotel not a studio apartment as advertised on Hotels.com. The description gives the size of the property and it is clearly details what the studio has to offer. The studio, as you seen in the photos at Hotels.com, is newly refurbished to a high standard with good quality furnishings. It is compact and despite its size has all the facilities you would need for a short stay including washing machine, cooking facilities, free Wi-Fi, iron and ironing board etc. It is well equipped and situated in a beautiful quiet square in the heart of the city. We understand your frustration and appreciate your feedback. Your feedback has been passed on to our management team for improving guests experience in the future.
