Beautiful room, well maintained. There was a kitchenette , refrigerator, washer/dryer unit, dishwasher, tv. (Cannot speak to kitchen appliances as we didn't use them, but washer/dryer was easy to use). Bathroom was clean and equipped but tub was very high so was careful getting in and out. Easy mobile check in/out. Mobile key was easy too. 25 minute ride to airport was not bad at all. There was also luggage storage in lobby if you needed it. I did wish there was a vending machine with drinks/snacks, but otherwise our stay was perfect!

We liked our place. The double bed was quite small, and the combination laundry with wash/dry was ok but very small and not that efficient. It was nice having a kitchen and a clean space to stay. Decent location in new town near the gardens. The staff were very nice and check in and luggage hold worked out perfectly.

To be clear it’s an Apartment hotel with no parking, nor any amenities, no assistance to be reached after 6pm daily. Location is good. Room noise facing Queen street is considerable so much so that earplugs are placed in the kitchen for renters. 6 floor had flooring so squeaky everywhere in the apt that one cannot help disturbing others when walking around in the apartment. Have never experienced anything like it. Nice that the 2 bedrooms have 2 separate bathrooms. Rooms are comfortable. Windows open for fresh air.

Great stay overall. The check in receptionist was excellent, very friendly and helpful throughout our visit. She assisted with the multiple bags and golf travel bags that I had, as well as provided good recommendations. The location is ideal, just a 3-minute walk to the tram and only a few minutes to central Princes Street. We could never get the digital key to activate on our phones so had to use the keypad code, however it wasn't a big issue but something to be aware of. We had an issue with a toilet valve being stuck so the toilet flushing all night however a plumber did come to fix it the following day. The flat itself was very spacious, comfortable, and surprisingly quiet. Prices did increase significantly on Friday, but despite that, I would still stay here again and would recommend it.

Lovely space, online photos of the apartment are accurate. The address is not 2 Queen St., but the cross street. Tram turns in front of building. Quite loud at night. Would recommend not booking the Queen Street view for that reason. Good location. Walking distance to the train station, St. Andrew's Square and good dining. We highly recommend Under the Table for dinner. Welcoming, warm atmosphere and lovingly prepared delicious food. Would stay here again, but in an apartment on the park side of the building.

Suite was very clean and staff extremely helpful. Kitchen didn't have the microwave listed which meant we couldn't heat the meals we'd brought. Found it hard finding our room as couldn't see signage including our room number. (Relied on other guests to point us in right direction.)
