Pros: Good sized rooms and amenities with a generous breakfast hamper of assorted items (cereal, jam, milk, bread, biscuits, yoghurt, juice). Bathrooms and kitchen were clean and kitchen included dishwasher & washing machine. Room has good A/C. 24 hr ATM, Tescos & some restaurants located 3 min walk away. A Planetarium/Science Museum is located 5-7 min walk and is great for families with kids. Arthur's Seat/Holyrood park is a very scenic area that is great for nature walks and picnics located 10-12 min walk away. Cons: Some front desk were not friendly (junior), room needed maintenance in some areas e.g. kitchen cupboard doors not closing properly, leaking in apartment beneath ours etc).

I have bipolar disorder and on new medication, also had a recent head injury. The receptionist not only slandered me to a friend by phoning him threatening to call the police and accused me of being intoxicated. I have spoken to my GP and the citizen's advice along with my friend Malcolm Wood who is a retired lawyer and have proof of the incident and prodf that I was NOT intoxicated. Not one person offered to help me. I was judged amd discriminated against to a level of epic proportions. I will be taking action against this as this so-called aparthotel has breached my privacy and is liable for defamation. I have videos of the the other issues which include the entry doors left open on for over 20 minutes and no staff around, the other evidence that highlights the unsafe, dirty, negative results of this Horrendous hovel.
