Jul 9, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Communication #### Pleasant stay in Leith We stayed for two nights and two days at the apartment on Junction Street. We enjoyed our time and would stay there again. It was near a sweet walkway along the water which we appreciated, it was right next to a grocery store, and it was not too difficult to get taxis to the center of the city. However, the kitchen was lacking some utensils and the oven and stove top did not work. There was only a microwave and a two burner hot plate. The kitchen itself could use a good cleaning. We found communicating with the home owner challenging as we did not get a response from them about where to get the key until the day before we left for our trip. Overall, our family enjoyed our time there. ##### Belinda and Jeff O.

The flat door itself worked well. I rang the day before and was told could get in, no one said you had to get the key from elsewhere. They did bring it but this involved another wait. Disappointed. Was aware cheap and therefore not expecting much, but could be so much better if kept up better. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Mar 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Apr 22, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Katrina Apr 20, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Comfy but slightly dodgey The apartment itself was nice and comftorble however the traffic from the street through the night is a little loud but barable. The worst was arriving to find the front door to the flats did not shut let alone lock, there was a couple at the bottom of the stairs smoking a crack pipe and the lady almost chased us trying to convince us that “she was just looking for her keys”, we could hear them loudly from the flat and it was somewhat scary to leave the flat again hearing they were still there. The staff said they would get the door fixed however this seems to be a common problem on the road as we saw many people walking into buildings were the door clearly didnt need a key. ##### Katrina Stayed 1 night in Apr 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### nikki Jan 5, 2019 Liked: Staff & service #### Good but wouldn’t stay again Good apartment,very comfortable beds and clean. Warm once we put the heating on. Bathroom and toilet could do with an update and clean. Bath taps didn’t work so had to fill the bath by the shower which we weren’t prepared to wait for. Very very noisy, kept us awake most of the night. Noise from traffic out side and heating systems was noisy. Only single glazing so might benefit from secondary or double. But we paid £47 for one night for 5 people in Edinburgh so we can’t really complain You get what you pay for. ##### nikki Stayed 1 night in Jan 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Naif Jan 4, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Naif Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2018 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller Nov 3, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort The noise in the bedroom is terrible,it looks like you have to sleep in the street and hear all going cars and buses.The heating was so noisy at night time,my child wake up in the middle of the night.Electric cooker worked so bad.No parking for the car ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Leskey, Sydney Oct 21, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort The unit was only a short drive ti m8ddle on ednbrugh so it was close to the big tourist attrachions ##### Leskey Stayed 1 night in Oct 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Muru Oct 2, 2018 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Compact home for 4 ppl. Nice large one bedroom apartment in the city and reachable to castle and many other attractions within the city. ##### Muru Stayed 1 night in Sep 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Alan Jun 4, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice wee flat in central Leith Nice flat - clean and well-equipped. Double-glazing in the front room might help reduce traffic noise. ##### Alan Stayed 1 night in Jun 2018 ### 4/10 Poor #### Ian May 26, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Property conditions & facilities #### Needs improvement Apartment was fine, but tired in some aspects... Cooker didn't work, central heating was extremely noisy all through the night to the point where it kept us awake and internal doors didn't latch properly, which caused real problems trying to keep our toddler out of harms way. The apartment is also on a busy main road, which only adds to the level of noise as the windows are of poor quality and offer no sound deadening. Also to access the apartment, keys must be picked up from a guest house some 10 mins walk away, which was not clear at the time of booking. ##### Ian Stayed 1 night in May 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller May 18, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in May 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller May 9, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service ##### Verified traveller ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Jan 9, 2018 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### An ok way to rent a whole flat The single most challenging part of this stay was check-in as you had to pick up keys from a guest house some distance away. That was ok but I did not know in advance and had to phone and get additional taxis to sort it out. Also the heating system made a loud banging noise and the oven and washing machine didn’t seem to work either. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2018 ### 4/10 Poor #### tourist, manchester Jan 6, 2018 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Not recommended Very bad customer service. Room ideal space for small family in town centre. Bedding was comfortable. Good space rooms. But was not satisfied with service. Heating system was terrible piping made loud drilling noise throughout night throughout stay felt like heaters will break. Toilet room stank. Bath taps did not work. No parking facility. Entrance into apartment was appalling. Room on first floor. Had to collect and drop off keys from another building being tourist to the area with young kids was horrendous experience. ##### tourist Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Jan 1, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Very clean and affordable, also a great location Had very short pleasant stay in Edinburgh! The property was in a great spot and very close to princes street. ##### Verified traveller ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller Dec 23, 2017 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Das war eine sehr schlechte Unterkunft. Es war das lauteste Zimmer das wir jeh hatten, zwischen 80 und 90 dzb. Nachts auch. Vor dem Zimmer war eine Ampel und der Verkehr hielt, und fuhr wieder los. Ganze Nacht nicht geschlafen, mein Mann ist herzkrank- kein guter Zustand. Haben am Mittag den Schlüssel abgegeben, die Frau die da war, wusste nicht was sie machen sollte. Wir haben uns dann in ein Hotel mit Schlafgarantie begeben. Der Treppenaufgang war schmutzig wie bei Assis. Dieses Zimmer ist nur für Jugendliche zu empfehlen, die kaum darin schlafen, Die Heizung machte auch laute Geräusche. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Dec 15, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great home base Really nice little place, close to a supermarket and on a major bus route so getting to the city centre is nice and easy ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2017 ### 4/10 Poor #### Tania, Ireland Nov 22, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Property conditions & facilities #### Not ideal for young kids Once we made our way to the apartment we received a message telling us we needed to walk to an address 10 minutes away. Not ideal when you have 2 kids under 3 sleeping in a double pram! Once inside the main door there was a flight of stone steps - also not ideal with kids and pram. Apartment looks exactly as the pictures show however we discovered at dinner time that the heating was not working. After several phone calls the owners agreed to give us a full refund and we went to a hotel instead. Might have been OK if it was heated although it's situated on a very busy street and the single glazed windows do not keep much noise out. ##### Tania Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2017 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Travelodge Edinburgh Central Queen Street](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Edinburgh-Central-Queen-Street.h4924301.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Grand Hotel & Spa, Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Sheraton-Grand-Hotel-Spa.h15554.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Edinburgh Carlton](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Hilton-Edinburgh-Carlton.h1648.Hotel-Information) > > [Motel One Edinburgh - Royal](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Motel-One-Edinburgh-Royal.h5333965.Hotel-Information) > > [Apex Waterloo Place Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Apex-Waterloo-Place-Hotel.h2278092.Hotel-Information) > > [Apex City of Edinburgh Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Apex-City-Of-Edinburgh-Hotel.h800968.Hotel-Information) > > [The Balmoral Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-The-Balmoral-Hotel.h9339.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Edinburgh-Marriott-Hotel.h873944.Hotel-Information) > > [Point A Hotel Edinburgh Haymarket](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Point-A-Hotel-Edinburgh-Haymarket.h37166264.Hotel-Information) > > [Aparthotel Adagio Edinburgh Royal Mile](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Aparthotel-Adagio-Edinburgh-Royal-Mile.h16281979.Hotel-Information) > > [Old Town Chambers, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Cheval-Old-Town-Chambers.h6175181.Hotel-Information) > > [Ten Hill Place](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Ten-Hill-Place.h1535542.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Hotel, Edinburgh City Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Hotel.h4270.Hotel-Information) > > [Market Street Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Market-Street-Hotel.h29507352.Hotel-Information) > > [The Scotsman Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-The-Scotsman-Hotel.h570820.Hotel-Information) > > [Wilde Aparthotels, Edinburgh, Grassmarket](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Wilde-Apartments-By-Staycity-Grassmarket.h39822833.Hotel-Information) > > [InterContinental Edinburgh The George by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-InterContinental-Edinburgh-The-George.h20436.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis Styles Edinburgh Centre St Andrew Square](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Ibis-Styles-Edinburgh-Centre-St-Andrew-Square.h7841147.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis Edinburgh Centre South Bridge - Royal Mile](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Ibis-Edinburgh-Centre-South-Bridge-Royal-Mile.h6793484.Hotel-Information) > > [Eden Locke](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Eden-Locke.h17859332.Hotel-Information) > > [The Caledonian Edinburgh, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-The-Caledonian-Edinburgh.h4198.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis Edinburgh Centre Royal Mile – Hunter Square](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Ibis-Edinburgh-Centre-Royal-Mile-Hunter-Square.h200875.Hotel-Information) > > [Holyrood Aparthotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Holyrood-Aparthotel.h561406.Hotel-Information) > > [Fraser Suites Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Fraser-Suites-Edinburgh.h2278102.Hotel-Information) > > [Novotel Edinburgh Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Novotel-Edinburgh-Centre.h982662.Hotel-Information) > > [Apex Grassmarket Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Apex-Grassmarket-Hotel.h62750.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo Hotel Edinburgh Haymarket](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Leonardo-Royal-Edinburgh-Haymarket.h4035314.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express - Edinburgh City Centre by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Edinburgh-City-Centre.h1088215.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Collection Hotel, Royal Mile Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Radisson-Collection-Hotel.h2775480.Hotel-Information) > > [Kimpton Charlotte Square by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Kimpton-Charlotte-Square-Hotel.h571654.Hotel-Information)
