                Very bad”

                We come in morning around 9 am and just want to store our luggages, the staff said they dont offer such service, it is my first time to hear that a hotel or apartment not allow a client just store the luggage before or after check in. She advice us should bring all our luggages to a train station far away more than 10km to store. All client if you have luggage and may need store before or after check in, never consider this apartment.😡

                Beautiful property”

                We stayed over for one night at the Merchiston Residence. There were 11 of us in total. I received clear instructions for entering the property. On arrival we were pleasantly surprised at how clean the property was. We could not fault this. Excellent facilities within each apartment. My only issue (very minor) were the beds. The double beds were on the smaller size and not very comfy and the sofa beds were extremely uncomfortable, a bit frustrating for us after we completed a 5k. We were ready for a good nights sleep. The price was ok as we were in a large group however I would find this a tad expensive if staying in a smaller group. Apartment 7 had a sewage smell in the bathroom which seemed to get worse after 4 people showered. Other than these very minor things I’d give it a 5* rating

                Could be much better”

                First impression was that the house was located in a good neighbourhood, it was clean and quiet. However, no proper instruction have been sent to us on how to enter the apartment and we were very confused as we had to ring up the staff to ask for help. When we called the first staff simply told us we were in room 1 and told us the code and simply hang up !!! It took us 5 minutes before we realise that our room 1 was in the cellar !! When we try to enter our room another guests showed up and said they had book the house and have been given an instruction on how to enter room 1 !!!! We had to phone the property manager to get it sorted out, then we were able to enter the room. We had book the room for 3 people so 1sofa bed and 1 double bed, the sofa bed turn out to be as hard as a rock and was impossible to sleep on. The room was clean with small kitchen and living room but it was really dark as it was in a cellar.

                Absolutely immaculate place to stay, facilities are second to none, the apartment is about 15 minutes to princes street by bus (bus stop close by), tesco metro is also very close to the apartment for your convenience. The apartment has everything you need to cook your food. The location is quiet and the bed very comfortable. Highly recommended place.
