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.

The apartment was very small for 4 people and airless! Very noisy neighbourhood and lots of bus stops outside window 24hours! You had to walk through a maze of corridors to get to it or out of it!

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.

We had a beautiful and efficient room for two. The bed was over the kitchen and the suite was south facing over South Bridge street. Excellent location only minutes from the Royal Mile and great restos and pubs. The only down side is its not cheap!

Convenient place to stay

KM apartments are on a floor of a block of accommodation that otherwise house University of Edinburgh students. We found the location convenient for us, the apartment to be quiet (though we understand not all of them are quiet), well furnished, clean and suitable for us. The breakfast was good, though simple.

Great place for a stay

The apartments/hotel is in a great location. View of Arthur’s Seat right outside. Not a far walk to the Royal Mile or other museums. Great amount of space. Kitchenette was nice to have especially for a week. The refrigerator is bigger than a mini fridge. A bit of a maze to get to your room and the lift was out part of the stay. Will definitely stay again!
