Lite hyggelig inngangsparti med totalt mørklagt korridor. Leiligheten var svært kald inntil jeg overkjøret timer på sentralvarme. Sentralvarmer er forøvrig plassert på et soverom og bråker endel. Dør til bad kan ikke lukkes og knirker mye.

Nothing like the pictures

Tiny apartments that looked nothing like the pictures (we stayed in Old Tolbooth Wynd). Bed wasn't even long enough to sleep comfortably in, let alone wide enough for two people. Utterly disappointing, and luckily we only spent one night there. Could also have wished for better information about reception not being open 24/h. Staff was very friendly prior to the stay, and pick-up of keys went pretty smoothly, although location from our apartments was 10+ mins walk.

Centralt Old Town

Lägenheten vi bodde i var i två plan. Modernt och allt man behövde fanns på plats. Lägenheten låg extremt centralt i old Town, kunde inte legat bättre om man vill ha tillgång till golden mile. Är man väldigt känslig för ljud kan det uppfattas som lyhört ifrån gränden utanför som hette advocates cove, tydligen viktig för Harry Potter fans. Som jag uppfattade det hela så har de lägenheter lite var stans i närområdet.

Perfect location for a visit to Edinburgh. Fortunate that the apartment is very near the office for key collection and a tad restrictive that keys are available after 3 pm although the office isn't open late. I understand they can make arrangements for people arriving late. The apartment itself is excellent; clean, comfortable and perfectly positioned.

Very large 3 bedroom property, with plenty of space for our family with 3 teenagers. The staff let us check in very early after coming up from London on the Sleeper train it was great to be able to get some rest. Great location too, great amenities with good heating system, washing machine etc.

Verified traveler

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Good location as long as you are expecting late night noise from revellers heading home. Unfortunately the flat was dirty with a musty smell and not fit for purpose. The staff did reclean the flat the following afternoon after we complained at reception but not to a high standard as a quick vac and a blast of air freshener was not really satisfactory. Staff were not interested really with our issues and have ignored completely our email of complaint. We expected last night noise as we have stayed in the are before but we also had considerable disturbance from the flat above. Broadband speed was useless through the wifi so resorted to 4G mobile data. We have stayed in other flats with this operator but this will be the last time as standards are have really dropped off.

Great location in the old town. Steep slippy and worn concrete steps up to the apartment were quite dangerous, especially with luggage and a pram. Extremely uncomfortable beds and rattling old windows in bedrooms made for a long night. Decor and style of apartment quite pleasing overall, though some general repairs definitely needed.

Perfekt läge, dock inte där receptionen är. Man fick gå en bit men enkelt att hitta och fortfarande väldigt centralt. Heltäckningsmattan i hall + sovrum är i stort behov av en tvätt men annars rent och fint. Vi fick skruva upp varmvatten temperaturen (står i informationen på rummet hur man gör) för att det skulle räcka till 3 personer. Överlag superbra.

Bra opphold i Gamlebyen. En del støy fra forbipasserende som var sjenerende nattestid. Stuen lå i underetasjen, noe mørk. Flott beliggenhet. I norsk målestokk ikke luksus men greit nok.

청결도나 직원의 안내는 만족스러웠으나 가서 보니 예약할 때 보았던 사진과 전혀 다른 집이었고 체크인한 사무실에 다시 가서 문제삼아 말하기에는 경사진 로열마일 완전 끝이서 다시 거슬러 올라가기가 너무 힘들어 그냥 지냈습니다. 체크인사무실에서 어느정도 먼지 체크인해야 아파트를 가르쳐 주는 점은 고객입징에서 안좋은 것 같아요. 그 전엔 알 수없어요. 초행길이니 집에 다 가봐서야 가는 길이 힘들은지 아닌지 알 수 있어요. 비품,침대는 청결했습니다. 세탁기 고장나서 사용할 수 없었습니다.

The apartment was in fact in the Old Town and not opposite St Giles Cathedral where I had booked. I specifically booked that location as my dad cannot walk far and we were attending a graduation walking distance away. The office would not give us the keys until after 3 so we had to drive to the apartment to park the car then wander about trying to find a taxi in the rain. My parents then had to go back to the office from the graduation to pick up the keys and get another taxi back to the apartments. By the time we got to the apartments we were late for my son’s meal! It’s not near a shop either so we couldn’t even have a cup of tea! Not a good experience!

Location is gr8. Know your flat address

St. Giles Apartments are many and run by a professional company. We stayed on Victoria Street , building 3 on the first floor. So please ensure the location of the flat which is different from office address 375 high street. The office was a 10 min uphill walk from railway station via fleshmarket close. Post registration which was smooth , the apartment was another 5 min towards the castle. Fantastic 1.5 rooms and a lavish living + kitchen. Bathroom is well done as well. The apartment is atop a busy mexican resturant ( no noise as bedrooms are in the back) and many other shops. The ONLY thing you need to know that they do not provide toileteries. While they claim a starter pack. But then when it accommodates 4, the toileteries are good for one. When we did raise to the office people as a mere feedback they were quite insisting that they are never recevied such a complaint before. We got a feeling we were wasting our good feedback on disinterested staff. Also no complimentary parking for this flat.
