Longcroft Vacation Packages

great location and clean rooms. it was a little loud at times but that was to be expected with 5 festivals going on that week and this location being a hot spot for younger people to come and drink. that being said, some underage kids tried to sneak in by climbing through the windows and they mistakenly tried entering through the window in our room. in the middle of the night. very scary in the moment but no harm done and the staff apologize when we brought it up.

We stayed for 2 nights in this apartment hotel. We had our 2 year old with us, and this was a fantastic stay for a few reasons. 1. The team is highly communicative and amenable to requests. Originally they had given us a baby cot, but my toddler has outgrown it - so they were gracious enough to give us an extra bed, with no extra charge. They accommodated an early check-in to make us comfortable. 2. The room while small, was exceptionally well designed. Even with a pull-out bed, a sofa, a small dining table - we never felt cramped. The furnishings were modern and high quality, and having a small kitchenette in the room was helpful. 3. The location is amazing - a short walk from the Royal Mile, and on a street that was quiet at night. They have rooms that face the castle - though they were sold out of those during our stay. 4. Finally, it's the small things that make a good stay great. They left a super cute soft-toy for my toddler on our departure date, which he absolutely loved. One small downside - you have to take a staircase with about 20 steps to get to the rooms. There are no elevators to carry your suitcases. This wasn't a big issue for us, but if you are mobility impaired, it could be a challenge.

This is an older property that has been turned into a hotel. It just needs work. Going up to our rooms the hallway looked dingy, and the room itself needed paint and basic repair. I’ll post pics. The other issue was road noise. Our rooms were literally ten feet from the road. I asked if there were something away from the road, but they were fully booked. The traffic picks up at 6am heading to St. Andrew’s and ends about 7:30 pm. Plus there’s always a few racing by at night, good for a wake up. Add to that the shower water heater in our unit sounded like a jet engine when it was running. Just not very peaceful. I’d look for something else next time around.
