Perfect location for a visit to Edinburgh. Fortunate that the apartment is very near the office for key collection and a tad restrictive that keys are available after 3 pm although the office isn't open late. I understand they can make arrangements for people arriving late. The apartment itself is excellent; clean, comfortable and perfectly positioned.

Very large 3 bedroom property, with plenty of space for our family with 3 teenagers. The staff let us check in very early after coming up from London on the Sleeper train it was great to be able to get some rest. Great location too, great amenities with good heating system, washing machine etc.

Good location as long as you are expecting late night noise from revellers heading home. Unfortunately the flat was dirty with a musty smell and not fit for purpose. The staff did reclean the flat the following afternoon after we complained at reception but not to a high standard as a quick vac and a blast of air freshener was not really satisfactory. Staff were not interested really with our issues and have ignored completely our email of complaint. We expected last night noise as we have stayed in the are before but we also had considerable disturbance from the flat above. Broadband speed was useless through the wifi so resorted to 4G mobile data. We have stayed in other flats with this operator but this will be the last time as standards are have really dropped off.

Response from Giulio - Office manager on 29 Dec 2019
Dear Guest, I am disappointed to hear your experience in our apartment was not up to the high standards we aim to present every one of our guests upon arrival. I would like to reassure you saying that the carpets and the whole apartment were deep cleaned before your arrival and that could be why you found them to be still in the process of drying when you checked-in. Following your feedback you left at the office the day after your arrival, we have immediately sent the housekeeping supervisor to re-clean the floors and carpets. Also I am sorry to hear you encountered outside noise disturbance and from the flat above you, we could have spoken to the other guests had you contacted us at the time to inform about the noise. Regarding the WiFi, the internet provider has investigated the network issue and it has now been resolved. I apologise sincerely about the issues you encountered during your stay and do hope you will allow us to welcome you again in Edinburgh for your next stay.

Great location in the old town. Steep slippy and worn concrete steps up to the apartment were quite dangerous, especially with luggage and a pram. Extremely uncomfortable beds and rattling old windows in bedrooms made for a long night. Decor and style of apartment quite pleasing overall, though some general repairs definitely needed.

The apartment was in fact in the Old Town and not opposite St Giles Cathedral where I had booked. I specifically booked that location as my dad cannot walk far and we were attending a graduation walking distance away. The office would not give us the keys until after 3 so we had to drive to the apartment to park the car then wander about trying to find a taxi in the rain. My parents then had to go back to the office from the graduation to pick up the keys and get another taxi back to the apartments. By the time we got to the apartments we were late for my son’s meal! It’s not near a shop either so we couldn’t even have a cup of tea! Not a good experience!

While we appreciate feedback when it is fair and honest we are shocked by the misrepresentation in this review. Your parents arrived at our office to prior to the check-in time stating that you were already late for the pre-graduation activates. Our team was able to provide you with the permit for complimentary parking early and we made arrangements for your check-in later that day. At the time of booking you selected one of our Old Tolbooth Wynd apartments which are situated in Old Tolbooth Wynd itself. To ensure full clarity we specifically market the apartment with the exact address including postcode as well as proximity to local attractions and our key collection office clearly noted; the opening line of this apartments description is “Situated in Old Tolbooth Wynd”. This information is displayed prior to any reservation being made and again throughout the booking process as well as in all confirmation documents but we are sorry if this information was overlooked when you made your reservation. We provide tea, coffee, sugar, milk and mineral water in the apartment for our guests arrival and this was explained to your parents in our office but we are very sorry if there was any confusion over this when you entered the apartment. Should you return to Edinburgh in the future our team is always on-hand to provide any advice you may require in selecting the perfect apartment for your needs on booking.com and happy to provide any assistance you may need.

Location is gr8. Know your flat address
St. Giles Apartments are many and run by a professional company. We stayed on Victoria Street , building 3 on the first floor. So please ensure the location of the flat which is different from office address 375 high street. The office was a 10 min uphill walk from railway station via fleshmarket close. Post registration which was smooth , the apartment was another 5 min towards the castle. Fantastic 1.5 rooms and a lavish living + kitchen. Bathroom is well done as well. The apartment is atop a busy mexican resturant ( no noise as bedrooms are in the back) and many other shops. The ONLY thing you need to know that they do not provide toileteries. While they claim a starter pack. But then when it accommodates 4, the toileteries are good for one. When we did raise to the office people as a mere feedback they were quite insisting that they are never recevied such a complaint before. We got a feeling we were wasting our good feedback on disinterested staff. Also no complimentary parking for this flat.

Please also accept our apologies if you felt that we were disinterested in your feedback. Rest assured we take our guests comments very seriously and are sorry if you felt that way.

A good alternative to a family hotel room giving us more space. Great location. Not for anyone with limited mobility due to steepness of close access. We found it noisy into the early hours as groups of people walked down the close in high spirits with no noise filter. Also resident above us stomped around their apartment into the early hours too. The communal entrance outside the apartment is quite dingy and doesn't give a good first impression. Hand soap in both of the bathrooms would have been helpful. Complimentary bottle of water, tea/coffee/shortbread were appreciated.

Dear Cushmum, thank you for taking the time to review your recent stay and please accept our sincere apologies for any external disruption you may have encountered. These apartments are situated in a quiet side street but, on occasion, and when the city is extremely busy, some external sounds may be heard. Although the noise of those passing by is somewhat outside of our direct control rest assured that, had we been aware of the issue with the neighbour, we would have reported to the property immediately to ensure a more restful evening. Please also accept our apologies if the hand soap was not immediately apparent; this is in a dispenser attached to the wall above the sink. We are very glad that you enjoyed the apartment itself and we hope that you will allow us the opportunity to extend our hospitality to you again in the future.
