It was a lovely place and had everything we needed. Location was terrific and we walked everywhere. Close to Waverley train station and the city tram too.
It would be nice to have someplace to hang towels ( hand towel) and shelves or hooks for toiletry kits.

Rooms were upkept daily especially by Ms Monika who did her chores with welcoming smile. Although we got in after normal reception hours the access code for room & main doors (same code) was made available 24hrs before arrival and easy to use. 2 receptionist, Mr Robin & especially Mr Orpheus Mathias were very helpful and tended to our questions & needs.
We stayed for 13 nights in a well-designed small studio basement unit. Had electricity trip and kitchen sink flooding mishap on first night which resulted in multiple communication & international calls which was settled late night & re-checked next day. From then onwards comfortable.

Great Location, walking distance to all the popular landmarks. Amazing selection of great quality restaurants right on Thistle Street. The quality of the amenities and bed were all very satisfactory.
only complaint is even with repeated reminders to the staff on duty, the house keeping did not once come to clean the room in all our 4 nights stay. ON the first day the house keeping lady came at around 9:00am and we weren't ready yet so she said she'll come back later, she never came back for the next 3 days.

Central location. Friendly staff. Able to leave luggage with reception if you arrive early. Pin number to access building and apartment. Lovely body lotion shower gel etc. Milk in fridge was handy. Useful booklets in hallway. Had iron, ironing board and hairdryer.
Few marks on wall, visible cables under tvs. Photo bit misleading as showed bedroom as seperate room rather than studio but was advertised as studio apartment, so wasn't sure. Had to turn off bathroom heater as we couldnt lower temperature. Tea towel but no washing up liquid or gloves. Ticking clock, but was able to take battery out.

Perfect city-center apartment hotel that exceeded our expectations. The spacious, clean apartment came fully equipped with dishwasher, washing machine, and thoughtful touches like a curated tea selection. The location couldn't be better - walking distance to all major attractions, with an exceptional espresso bar just steps from the entrance (The Cobbled Roastery). Special mention to Orfeas and the entire staff for their outstanding service. The building's quiet atmosphere provided a peaceful retreat in the heart of Edinburgh. For visitors: The city's efficient public transport network makes exploration easy. Consider visiting outside the Fringe Festival for a more relaxed experience of this charming city. Word to the wise - some places close their kitchens very early and you may end up dining on beer and crisps; so ask before booking.

Great location,, right in the city centre, has everything you could need, good sized rooms, toiletries and tea/coffee etc, very clean, comfy sofa, nice dining area, helpful staff, early check in. Nice shore room. Located on a less busy side street.
The bed was too soft and I could feel the springs. Narrow street means there is no direct sunlight, but the windows are large. Even with double glazing it could be noisy at night ( eg bin lorry and people in the street) and also could hear the upstairs apartment when they walked.

The facilities were thoughtful and made the stay so cosy. The beds were super comfortable. The location is the best possible location for fantastic food, shopping and all the attractions within a short walking distance. Despite this, the apartment was so peaceful ...apart from the bottles being collected at 8am from the local wine bars!!
The check in lacks flexibility which is an issue after a long journey. Also the wear and tear of the apartment needs to be maintained to ensure the highest standards. Finally the heating in central corridor areas is set on high...not needed for sunmer months. These are minor points in a wonderful accommodation. Would return again!
