The property is in an amazing location and was perfect for our family. The negative is that the location is very loud, and was under construction. I would absolutely go back but just wanted to make sure folks know how loud it was. The staff were great as well.

Clean. Optional room service. No breakfast included for my room even though I paid quite a huge amount - so a bit on the expensive side. Had a small kitchen for making breakfast though so not too bad.

Would use them again

We stayed in one of the apartments that enabled the option of self catering. The size and layout was spot on for a couple. Very clean, quiet and positioned ideally to be walking distance to key parts of the city. Would definitely return. Great shower as well, powerful and hot at all times.

Very central and walkable location. Staff very friendly and attentive. I found the apartment hot and front desk immediately brought me a fan. Wifi would cut out on me occasionally, but otherwise a great little apartment. Considering part of the university it was quite quiet.

Under renovation

There was a fan outside the room that was very noisy. There was a chemical smell in the building, maybe paint or such. The renovation works meant that going into and out of the property was a labyrinth.

We did not like the fact that when checking in they claimed that Expedia had booked us into a small room and not the 2 story apt. displayed on the Expedia web site. Fortunately we had a copy of our reservation which included a photo of the room which enabled my wife to negotiate a transfer to the accommodation we had booked. Expedia needs to review its website to show the various prices and sizes of accommodation and inform purchasers that the hotel is attached to a student residence. We would recommend this property to family and friends for location, design of units and value for price.

The staff were really attentive and efficient. The location was near several restaurants, pubs, and shopping. The walls and the doors are extremely well insulated so you can’t hear anything from the neighbors. A fan was also provided. Overall a great location.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at KM Apartments! From the moment we arrived, the staff were warm, welcoming, and went out of their way to make us feel at home. The apartment was spotless, modern, and exceptionally comfortable — everything was thoughtfully provided, from kitchen essentials to fluffy towels and great Wi-Fi. The location couldn’t be better — right in the heart of Edinburgh, just a short walk to the Royal Mile, Holyrood Park, and great cafes and restaurants. It was the perfect base for exploring the city. We especially loved how quiet and peaceful it was at night, despite being so central. The bed was super comfortable, and we slept wonderfully every night. Overall, KM Apartments exceeded our expectations in every way. We’d highly recommend it to anyone visiting Edinburgh, whether for a weekend getaway or a longer stay. We’ll definitely be back!

When we arrived there was a very strange odour. We went to the front desk and the brought in an essential oil reed sticks. It didn't really help but I appreciated the effort. It would have been nice to know that the rooms were actually a part of the dorms. We probably would not have stayed here. Our room was the farthest possible spot!! The layout was also very strange. It was basically 3 levels. The entry floor held the washroom which emitted a horrible odour. To the right you go up 4 stairs and there was a desk with a chair. then down the stair a queen bed in the cubby and a pull out sofa. There was a table and chairs and a decent kitchen. The model I thought I booked had the bed on the second level. so basically the second level was useless and 4 of us were on main level. It was tight.Apart for that it was spotless. Was it worth the cost? Probably not. Would I stay again. Probably not.
