Guest Reviews
- Andrew (8/5): - Overall very good, good communication, clean, spacious and well equipped. Fantastic location. 8 minute walk to Royal Mile, 10 minute walk to Festival Theatre. Our apartment was on the side looking over a side street which unfortunately was noisy until late into the night. We did stay fri-monday so being a weekend maybe nosier
- Jenine (10/5): - We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The communication was smooth and amazing, the location is perfect, and the room itself was perfect.
- Grant (10/5): Edinburgh - Great location, lovely accommodation
- Mayuresh (6/5): - The property is conveniently located near the Royal Mile and is in excellent condition. They have luggage storage on ground floor if you arrive early before check-in which was convenient. The communication was inadequate as they missed informing in advance that I need to provide credit card info for security deposit. I had to scramble on the same morning of the check in to connect to the property management through Expedia and get a link to provide that information. I could do that effortlessly being a platinum Expedia member (kudos to Expedia customer service). The property management messaged that my access code will not work until card info is provided for security deposit on the same morning after I arrived in Edinburgh. Luckily I checked the message upon landing at EDI, otherwise I would have faced an unpleasant surprise of access code not working despite making the full payment. Overall property is in excellent condition, but it is located above an extremely noisy bar (OZ Bar), which was a major hassle with extremely loud noise levels of rowdy young crowds yelling and screaming until 3am on. Org nights we were there. We couldn’t sleep properly until 3am on both night. I would not recommend this property solely for that reason.
- BHASKAR (10/5): - It's a central location in old town: 5 minutes from Castle and 2 minutes to Royal mile. Victoria street is next over so it gets a 5 star for location. That comes with its own downside, loud noise from bars was audible well into the night even with the windows closed. The apartment is very clean and spacious. Living room and kitchen are downstairs and king bed and sofa bed are upstairs. We were 2 adults and a kid and were comfortable. The only problem was the thermostat which had its own mind. While we were sleeping the heat would automatically come on and we would wake up feeling warm. The settings are locked and we could not change so it was a bit frustrating.
- Linda (10/5): - An amazing location with excellent amenities. Staff very pleasant, friendly and helpful
- Debbie (10/5): - This was a beautiful spacious unit. GREAT location and reasonably priced. Only down to be aware of was very noisy at night.
- Holly (8/5): Nice - Very nice place in the heart of Old Edinburgh. The bed was a little uncomfortable. Note that it DOES NOT have a lift.
- Kirk (10/5): - Many restaurants available on the street. Easily walkable to Edinburgh castle and cathedral
- Ian (8/5): - Hotel was great, Hotel.com did not send me the pass code, had to call the hotel.
- Claudine (10/5): - Beautiful apartment in a great location. Central but quiet thanks to the double glazed windows
- Shelly (10/5): Queen bed not a king (as listed) - This was the most delightful apartment! The view was fantastic. The decor was clean and modern. The unit was spacious and elegant. The amenities in the kitchen were nice with an option of coffee or tea with milk and sugar provided. The only complaint is that it’s advertised as a king bed but was actually only a queen bed. Just be aware of that discrepancy. It was a king headboard with a smaller queen bed.
- Dan (10/5): - Great location for Fringe Festival attendees
- Victoria (10/5): - Perfect location, clean and very convenient.
- Tiziana (8/5): - Overall a great property choice for a single person for a short stay
- Aurabind (4/5): - The check in process was terrible. I messaged via the booking app requesting check in instructions the day before arriving. I did not receive any response until the late evening of my arrival saying that I should have gotten an email…which for whatever reason,I did not get. It would have been more helpful to just message the instructions there and then rather than saying I should have got an email about it. Why would one asking again if I got an email ?? The numbers listed on the booking site and on the door did not correspond to anyone that could help. I was left stranded with my children and suitcases for over an hour in the late evening outside on a busy street trying to get into the unit . It took several long distance international cell phone calls to even reach someone who was able to direct me . There are other “destiny George Iv” apartments all next to each other , all operated by different owners . A simple directive on the instructions would have been to give a landmark , perhaps to say it is the “ big blue door” or something like that. Anyway, once we got in, the place is clean and comfortable . The unit is spacious. Be aware that you cannot get any more than 4 towels and linens unless you pay extra for them. There is a washer,but there is NO dryer, even though the listing says it has a dryer . The location is central and a very close walk to everything. That being said, it is extremely loud at night till about 3-4am. Window are not at all soundproof.
- Perry (10/5): - Modern amenities with full kitchen and comfortable beds. Highly recommneded
- Angela (10/5): Amazing Edinburgh! - The apartment was excellent, one of the best stays of our entire trip. From the location right by one of my favorite streets, very short walking distance to the Royal Mile, it is in the middle of everything. The Italian restaurant underneath is also extraordinary. The apartment itself was very clean, in like-new condition, the kitchen was well-stocked with everything we would need, well worth the $ we paid. If the description included the blue door, as per the picture, it's even easier to locate. I highly recommend this gem to anyone looking for an apartment easily accessible and centrally located in Edinburgh. The short delay in the company running the card for the required deposit before we could enter the lobby to leave our luggage was minimal and resolved with a quick phone call.
- Lan (10/5): - Except for no lift, it’s a nearly perfect homelike apartment, clean and spacious, well equipped, super convenient. I highly recommend it.
- Michel (8/5): - The location and apartment were wonderful and suited us perfectly. But it was very noisy with bar below on candlemaker row and noise from in the street going on all night. We would have liked a top sheet and a lighter duvet . It was very warm in the apartment. Could figure out how to alter the air conditioning. . But the presentation and quality otherwise was faultless.
- Tara (8/5): - The unit we stayed in was phenomenal but there was some confusion about the actual location. We were able to
- Sasha (10/5): - Property was too notch in every aspect. Can’t recommend enough.
- Julianne (10/5): - It was very comfortable. Had everything we needed.
- Lisa (10/5): - The suite was so well equipped; kitchen had fridge, freezer, washing machine, and dishwasher. There was also a small table and chairs. Wonderful bath/shampoo products. Great layout and amazing location. We were two staying but had relatives come for dinner and had enough space for 4 at the small kitchen table (moved to living area).
- sophia (10/5): - Such a beautiful space in the heart of Old Town, Edinburgh. The apartment was beautifully furnished and had all the amenities necessary. Perfectly clean and organized, this space felt safe with clear instructions on how to access and manage. Located in a perfect spot in the city centre, I absolutely loved my stay here! Would recommend profusely.
- Andrew (8/5): - Given these have been recently refurbished the apartments are in excellent condition. The finishing and furnishings are of a high quality. One major let down is the noise from the street, it was a Saturday night but it kept us awake most of the night and spoiled what was otherwise a lovely break
- james (10/5): - Once we got there, restaurants were nearby and it was a short walk to the castle and the Royal Mile. Thought the bathroom was very nice, also the rest of the space. There are lockers downstairs to leave suitcases as there is no elevator.
- pratap bhanu (10/5): - Spacious. Brilliant location
- Kathleen Margareth Ayllon (10/5): - Excellent location, accessible to tourist attractions and the place is spotless and very cozy
