This hotel is more of a homeless unit than city accomodation! The reception staff have very bad manners and as for the rooms...disgusting and completly missleading. I tried to get a refund on my room and was blatently told to go away. Therefore the service and standard of help is appoling. Only book into this accomadation if you are desperate...VERY... more

...but not so clean as someone suggested it. The name is actually misleading: Shandwick APARTMENTS - not HOTEL&SUITS. I had some problems with upgrading - but in the end everything turned out well - just on much higher cost that I expected. For the same price I found much better conditions elswhere. It is just a really expensive HOSTEL with... more

We'd booked the cheapest studio that was left on a visit to Ed to visit son. Had an idea the place would be basic having read mixed reviews but for £69 in the heart of town, was prepared. Wasn't prepared to be let into a one bedroom flat bigger than places I've actually lived! Huge bedroom, enormous living room, dining... more

I am rating this hotel as poor as we have booked a 1-bed apartment for one night in August but was left a message to contact them, to be told that there has been a mix up and the room wasn't available but they could get us another room out in Leith. This turned out to be a hotel in... more

My airport taxi couldn't find this place as it was hidden behind scaffolding. It is called the Shandwick Apartments - not Hotel and Suites. There is no lift/elevator and the stairs are tough to climb with a heavy case. My suite was spacious and basic but well serviced daily. Breakfast doesn't start until 8.30 am. At £140 a night the... more

The double rooms here have shared facilities. Location is walkable distances to the attractions but on the fringes of the "centre". Acceptably clean and does serve breakfast as part of the cost. If this hotel is in your price range, also consider the major budget chains (the likes of Travelodge, Premier Inn, Holiday Inn Express). Not much here that would... more

I stayed here last week for 3 nights with my boyfriend. After endlessly searching for a reasonably priced hotel we eventually found this hotel - Studio Suite for £207! I was slightly dubious about booking it as it doesn't have its own website, had mixed reviews on the internet and very few photos. However we were intent on going to... more

This hotel was not easy to locate because it had no signage due to the building work being undertaken to the fascia of the building, do not worry these works will not effect your stay. Once found this proved to be a fantastic budget hotel in the heart of the centre of Edinburgh, one minutes walk from Princes Street. The... more

The hotel has very friendly staff, and the location is nearly unbeatable, next to the castle and with the Airlink-Bus in front of the door. This also means a little noise on weekends, when party folks are around. The rooms were quite simple (just one pillow, a thin wall between rooms), but nothing was missing (inluding TV, although WiFi would... more

1/1 found this review helpful

It is in a good location and the airport bus stops in front of it. There is a somerfeild just opposite and the main areas are within walking distance. The rooms were generally clean but had this dusty building site smell as you walk to your apartment (which you could taste). We weren't told about the building work going on,... more
