We stayed in one of the apartments to attend a wedding and it was the worst place I've ever stayed in. Only half the hot plates on the stove worked, the stereo was melted at the back, the toilet brush was disgusting beyond belief. The neighbours slammed the front door all night as they went in and out to smoke.... More

Upon arrival when walking into the apartment I was initially impressed. The living room was a good size and although the bedrooms were small, they were adequate for the weekend. Then I started to notice the dirt and grime. I picked up the placemats on the dining table to be confronted with a lot of mold on the table and... More

We booked a 3 bed apartment as it was close to the venue of a wedding we were attending. On arrival everything seemed fine however the longer we were there the worse the stay became. We had a ground floor apartment which meant that every guest in the apartment block had to pass by our front door when arriving or... More

This is the first Place I booked my parents when they came over from Italy. It was recommended to us by Edlets as being in the centre of Edinburgh, which it was. http://www.edlets.com/accommodation/self_catering/blair_house They really loved it as it was close to the Castle, you could come and go as you please and everything was on your doorstep.

I then got advised by a friend to check this website (i had already booked it at this point). Read all the reviews and thought "oh s++t, why could no one have... More

Small capacity lift which was slow for a group arrival. Pub/club opposite which was extremely noisy through until 3/4am each of the 2 night stay especially for those street-side. Our group had 2 apartments; one had double glazing but the one I was in did not; simply old and ill fitting sash windows which meant that the noise at night... More

I'd never recommend stopping in these apartments. Looked at the reviews only after the acommodation had already been booked....big mistake. The rooms were dirty, broken furniture, stained bed covers, stained sofas, etc. You do hear at lot of noise from the night club across the street and also with the front door any other apartment doors slamming at all hours....

We stayed in a two bedroom apartment which was at street level. Not only was it very unclean including mould on the bathroom walls, it constantly smelt damp and even after we left our clothes still smelt like the apartment. The bed in the main bedroom was very small and very uncomfortable. There is no soundproofing and as this apartment... More

Booked into these apartments as part of a hen weekend, 5 of us sharing but not really wanting to share beds. The apartments weren't our choice and never would be!
