The good: Perfect location to access all Edinburgh has to offer. Very close to bus station, train station. Easy walk to Royal Mile and all of old town. Even though on a busy street, thick windows shut out all the noise. Well appointed for light cooking. Perfect for two people.The needs improvement: bed and its pillows were like bricks. So uncomfortable. I’ve slept better camping in a tent on bare ground, that uncomfortable. Some confusion about access to luggage storage.

Stayed here recently. Very good location if you want to quickly get to the train station or the Royal Mile. A few nice restaurants nearby. This place was clean and comfortable. No complaints except for maybe there being no lift. But highly recommend it. Solid 5 star.

WOW… what an amazing apartment! It’s in a fantastic location, it’s so spacious and quiet as they have double glazing on throughout the apartment. The bed was Uber comfortable and the living / lounge area was as comfortable….. we loved our 5 night stay here 11/10

The location is perfect, but be aware that it’s in the city center, so if you don’t like the noise of the city (when the windows are open) then it’s not for you. Our apartment was on the 5th floor, but we were well informed that there is no elevator in the building. The bedroom was nice, the bed was really comfy. The apartment is spacious and clean.

People from the bars on both sides of door stand Infront of the door so when you are trying to get into building your code is seen by everyone standing there. No lift, they sent emails to my work email which went to spam, my wife booked room. They only sent email to my work account; I wonder why. We only stayed one night due to the stairs and drunks, smokers by front door. building didn't feel safe.I live in Chicago and work in construction in Chicago, this building didn't feel safe to me. I would recommend this building to an ex-wife or mother in-law.

The apartment is excellent. Not very big, but with two bedrooms and two bathrooms and a comfortable tiny living room. Very clean, it has all you need, from a coffee machine with capsules (they offer you a few, plus tea bags and sugar, milk) to a toaster, microwave oven, dish washer etc. We highly appreciated the exquisite quality of the liquid soap, shower gel, shampoo and condionner in the bathrooms (Noble Isle). The view is lovely and it's very quiet inside in spite of the fact that you are in the middle of the hustle. The apartment is near the train station and has plenty of pubs around. You get in with a code that is activated at your arrival and deactivated at your leaving. Clear and simple! Excellent!

I'd stayed in destiny Royal Mile before and that was total luxury. This place is a shoebox up loads of stairs that lacks basic kitchen accessories and it so tiny that you can barely move. You have to squeeze past the end of the bed sideways to bet to the bathroom and cooking is almost impossible as that is where the bins are kept. The stay cost almost the same as a hotel stay but without the daily maid service.

Location in the middle of all the sights to see was fabulous but it was still a quiet room. Apartment comfortable and roomy. Our level 5 room had great views, but the trade off is lugging your bags up 5 flights of narrow stairs. All in all highly recommended.
