Lovely building, comfy bed and recommended if only using as a base while adventuring Edinburgh.
Pros:

Great location in lovely old building. Could walk into town centre in 15 mins. Perfect for a weekend away.

Cons:

The kitchen is very basic with no cooking facilities. Grand for a weekend away but might be difficult if staying longer.

Muy desagradables en trato y limpieza
Pros:

Nada

Cons:

Si no sabes inglés no reserves este apartamento. No entregan los codigos de entrada a no ser que llames en la misma puerta del edificio. Ni por correo, ni por booking, ni llamando a media hora de llegar, solo los entregan en la misma puerta y por telefono, aun haciendo el check in online que piden. Te quitan 100€ de fianza que no se ven a la hora de reservar, y toda la estancia te la pasas viendo emails y carteles amenazando que cualquier cosa que rompas o ensucies seran 100-200-500€ de multa. La cama ni cambian las sabanas de la anterior estancia, hay pelos y suciedad. Nunca recomendaría este apartamento a nadie. La amabilidad de toda Escocia brilla por su ausencia, se nota que no lo son.

Pros:

Stayed here recently and, unfortunately, it didn’t feel worth the £100 price — more like £70 at best. The room décor is very outdated and in need of a refresh.

Check-in was more complicated than expected, with three different codes needed just to get in. The spare sofa bed wasn’t made up on arrival, which was disappointing.

Cleanliness was also an issue — the bedsheets and pillows didn’t feel clean, and there was mould around the shower beading (see photos).

The location is good, which is probably the main positive.

One thing to be aware of is the £100 deposit taken about 10 days before arrival. After check-out, I had to chase to get it refunded, which wasn’t ideal and felt unnecessarily inconvenient.

Overall, not a terrible stay, but definitely not great value for money.

Nice stay in the city centre
Pros:

It was a nice experience, the staff was very nice and the location is great for city exploring. There are a lot of nice cafes and bars around. We found in the suite everything we needed.

Cons:

We were disturbed by the noises of our neighbours in the night, the walls are apparently very thin. And the floor in our room wasn't clean, I had my socks dirty in 5 minutes of walking there.
