The property is conveniently located one street back from the Royal Mile. It is one of the only apartments in Edinburgh with parking and a lift, which is handy if travelling with families. However, the wifi did not work the whole time (which was a common complaint on other reviews) and the floor was soooo noisy (squeaky - poorly laid) you couldn't walk around without waking up everyone in the flat
This place was great for what we wanted as it had more room than many hotels rooms and was like an apartment with kitchen, dishwasher and washing machine. Downsides was hotwater was tempid at best and the lift was a spaceship without a rocket.
Tucked off a "close" in the back of Canongate Street, it is in a great quiet location, near many interesting sites and restaurants. The room was large and comfortable. We made good use of the kitchen.
Good property to stay at if you need a kitchen and laundry facilities. Located on the Royal Mile so convenient to sites. Property was very clean and everything in good repair. Staff was very nice and helpful.
I wish there had been a place for us to put our suitcases. Room did not come with even a foldable suitcase rack. Foldable suitcase racks or a small bench at the foot of the beds to host an open suitcase would have been very helpful. There was a wardrobe, but only a few hangers and I ended up using all of those and most of the shelves in the wardrobe for a 10-day stay since I did not want to keep re-opening my suitcase and digging into it. My husband ended up using the tiny desk space for all his things.
We also did not have a safe to put our passports in, and the hotel doesn't have one available at the office.
There was also no place to put soap, shampoo, etc. in the shower. We had to put that stuff on the rim of the shower on the floor. A small shelf in the shower would have been really helpful, as well as someplace to put extra towels in the bathroom. There was a small countertop above the toilet, but most of the room on that was taken up with toilet paper rolls, Kleenex box, a jar with makeup puffs and complimentary toiletries. No room for clean towels where they were most needed.
The space didn't need to be larger, just more thoughtfully designed. Still, we were quite comfortable and would recommend this property to others.

Good location. I went to Edinburgh for the fringe festival and this property was in walking distance to all of the venues. They also provided a lot of items for breakfast which was a nice surprise.
Very clean & quiet, stocked with some groceries (coffee/tea, milk, cereal, bread) & laundry detergent on arrival. Grocery store a few minutes walk away. Windows open only a few inches so with no air conditioning, we had to ask for fans.
Very convenient for all attractions, clean and well maintained. Added bonus of a kitchen & washing machine for self catering if you require. Helpful staff.
Most staff were friendly and seemed to enjoy their job. However, I did not get her name.There was one that was not friendly at all. She seemed to be put off.Any time you had to ask for something. There was no phone in the room to calm down and ask for anything.
Great location, great amenities. Studio with washer/Dryer wonderful. Bed adequate comfort, room nice and modern. Quiet.

Good place in a good location.
Good place in a good location, just off the Royal mile. Had a bit of trouble with the washer/dryer in our room, but staff showed us how to work it.

Great apart hotel!
Nicely renovated apartment right off the Royal mile. Couldn’t have asked for a better location. Apartment was clean and well stocked with all the basics needed for a family vacation.
Loved having a washer/dryer— although it was a bit finicky to operate. The room was spacious and clean and quiet. The kitchen is quite convenient with a dishwasher as well. This made it a homelike refuge in the city.
