Would not recommend staying in the over-priced KM Apartments, which are located in a student dormitory building. As other reviewers have noted, the Website is deceptive in that it portrays the rooms as being more spacious than in reality. …

Perfect location with friendly and helpful staff. The room was a perfect size for two of us and the beds were really comfortable.Overall, it's an ideal place to stay if you're wanting to stay in and around the city centre.

Friendly staff. Fabulous breakfast. Good location. Massive comfortable bed. Clean,tidy.Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.The only downside was that there is no lift, so it may not suit anyone with disabilities.Would definitely come back and stay again.

Economic option close to city center. Rooms are like tiny house! Good layout but not for people who can’t climb stairs as bed is on upper level.

This is student accommodation and I think the property should be more upfront about that. …

For 400€/nights it is not an option to be considered. No fridge, no lift, heating system on in August, noise in the morning from the street,room are small with no space for luggages, breakfast is not at the price level we paid but... STAFF IS AMAZING, friendly and nice, even if the company should invest a bit in their skills and training. It is not an hotel but a students' dorm sold a crazy prices during the Festival with no further improvement in service.

Get ready to be woken up at 6am on weekends with delivery trucks outside the window.Heating was on full blast during a nice 22 degrees summer.Can't have the window/blinds open as the apartments across will see in.No space to lie a suitcase down flat.No fridge.No lifts.Staff were friendly and provided a fan, but the fan was a bucket on the titanic.

Seriously, even if you are a couple, in order to secure a comfortable room. Our room was almost entirely filled by our bed, one side of which was against a wall, and the other side had little space, so that to get out I had to scramble to …

Lovely, friendly staff, room nice, no fridge and extractor fan randomly comes on.Location, shocking! Noisy street outside, windows not double glazed to try keep noise out and no air-conditioning. The front door constantly slams so ask for a room away from the front door

Wonderful stay in Edinburgh close to city centre. Enough room for two people. The only issue we had was the high curtain pole fell during the night our last night and gave us the fright of our lives at 3am. I will return here again. …
