Great central location and comfortable
Pros:

Very comfortable rooms, it was great having a kitchenette and washer. Great quiet location but central to Arthur’s Seat and the Royal Mile.

Cons:

We were in a room with an adjacent room entering by a common swing door. Th doors slam loud if not closed manually. The other room arrived back about 3.30am and it sounded like their conversation was in our room.

Muy buena ubicación y limpieza
Pros:

- La ubicación es perfecta. En Canongate, a 1 minuto a pie de la Royal Mile. La zona es muy tranquila, 0 ruidos.

- La habitación, la cocina y el baño estaban limpios, impecables.

- El WiFi, la calefacción y el agua caliente funcionaron a la perfección.

- El menaje de la cocina estaba muy completo: platos, tazas, vasos, hervidor de agua, microondas, horno, nevera, cubiertos... Incluso lavavajillas y lavadora.También rollos de papel y utensilios de limpieza como estropajo, pastillas para el lavavajillas y jabón para fregar.

- Nos permitieron dejar nuestras mochilas en un cuartito tanto en el check in (llegamos antes de la hora) como en el check out.

- La recepción está abierta 24 horas y el personal es agradable.

Cons:

- Las fotos de Booking pueden ser un poco engañosas. El apartahotel no está tan nuevo como en las fotos, que parece completamente nuevo. Tiene sus desgastes y te llevas un poco de chasco al entrar. Aún así, la limpieza compensa y volvería a repetir si volviese a Edimburgo.

- En la puerta del hotel, durante toda la estancia, había dos contenedores de basura completamente llenos y basura por el suelo. Entiendo que igual no es competencia del hotel, pero no da buena imagen y da sensación desagradable de suciedad.

- No había secador de pelo en el baño, para mí no fue un problema, pero quizá es conveniente saberlo para otras personas que lo usen a diario.

Posizione ottima ma…
Pros:

Ottima posizione vicina a ristoranti e locali in una delle principali vie della città
Cucina attrezzata

Cons:

Pulizia non da 10, persiane inesistenti quindi alle 5 la luce entrava in stanza come fosse pieno giorno, molto rumoroso e la colazione non è una colazione a buffet ma è una colazione in camera composta da dolci confezionati

Pros:

Está bien ubicado y las instalaciones están bien.

Cons:

El desayuno no merece mucho la pena. Te ponen en la habitación bastantes cosas para desayunar, pero creo que merece más la pena coger lo que a ti te guste en el super. Al final lo que ponen es bastante basico y todo empaquetado.

Perfect
Pros:

Absolutely lovely aparthotel room, we were lucky enough to have one of the new rooms. They had everything you could ask for, we were able to do cooking (there is a Tesco underneath), washing clothes you name it. Beds were comfortable, little on the narrow side for a single but didn’t cause a problem. The corridors and reception area could do with a refurb but didn’t affect us and maybe it is scheduled given the rooms are being refurbed. Location is brilliant walking distance to everything. Would highly recommend.

Comfy Place
Pros:

La posizione, davvero comodissima. Sei subito sulla strada principale. In più l'appartamento dispone di tutto e lasciano abbastanza cose per fare colazione direttamente in camera. In più la presenza del frigo e della lavatrice è molto comoda se si sta per più giorni

Fab self catering accommodation in the heart of Edinburgh
Pros:

The hotel is in a great location, within easy walking distance of all major attractions (although be prepared for some hills!)
The room itself (506) was really clean and had a great layout. The kitchen was stocked with everything we could have needed for our 3 night stay, including tea, coffee, sugar and milk, and also had a dishwasher, washing machine and cooker. Washing up liquid, laundry tablets and dishwasher tablets were provided. They can provide breakfast hampers for an extra charge, but we didn't bother, as there is a Tesco a few minutes walk down the road. The room also has an ironing board and iron. We were each given a bath and hand towel and products in the bathroom (cotton pads, hair and body products). The shower had great water pressure and the water came out nice and hot. We found the room to be quiet at night and we also barely heard any other residents in the building. Check in was easy. They took a £50 holding deposit for any damages, which was refunded within hours of check-out. An excellent place and I'd definitely stay here again if returning to Edinburgh. They do hold luggage in the reception area if required.

Cons:

Our room had quite a spacious entrance lobby which was under utilised. Some coat hooks here would have been great, as there isn't a huge amount of space in the wardrobe (especially for longer coats)
