We booked the Merchiston Residence due to a family thing nearby. We booked a two bedroom apartment, which technically it was, but the second bedroom was like a bunk bed above the bathroom. This would normally not have been a issue, but we had to work the next day, but the other couple didn't have to, so not ideal. Other... More

We stayed at Merchiston Residence for one night in May 2012 as part of our family holiday. The apartment was fantastic - very modern, comfortable and super clean. Most importantly, it was much more home-like than staying in a hotel which we appreciated. All appliances and equipment in the apartment is top of the range. It is located in a... More

Thank you for posting a superb review. Unfortunately, as with any city, parking is always a bit of an issue. Our drive behind the apartments offers free-parking on a first-come, first-served basis, however, it is very short and can only accommodate a maximum of 2 cars parked tightly together. Weekend parking on the street is free of charge and metered... More

We were very happy with our stay here. The code system works well and since your code is personal to you it feels secure. Our stay was close to Easter, the jar of chocolate eggs was a nice touch the kids appreciated. The apartment was very clean, we bumped into the cleaners in the lobby a couple of times and... More

Very good service and nice entry with codes instead of keys. Fresh flowers in the lobby are a nice touch.

Thanks for your review - we find that the key codes work better for us than keys due to us not having a reception desk. The only downside we have with this system is that occassionally guests do not read their e-mail confirmations and are then uncertain how to enter upon arrival, however, generally it all works pretty well !

We have stayed here twice and cannot wait to return. The apartments are brilliant, and surpass the best five star hotels. The finish is fantastic and they are very nicely furnished. They are very well appointed with hi tech heating and lighting controls, your own dedicated wifi zone, large flat screen TV quality kitchen gadgets & etc. The surrounding areas... More

This is a totally self contained serviced appartment. Ther is no front desk, your credit card is debited and you see noone except for the person making up the rooms in the morning.

We returned for New Year 2011/2012 and once again the Merchiston lived up to all expectations. The Morningside area with it's lovely shops is a very short stroll and has some nice restaurants and quaint shops. The Apartment is just the right distance from Edinburgh city and it means you get a nice peaceful nights sleep. As mentioned before buses... More

Thank you for your review. There are staff on site everyday for a few hours, however, due to the apartments not having a reception it is not possible to meet most guests. Generally when the staff are there the guests are out, albeit someone is always at the end of a phone should any queries arise ! More

I am pleased that you had a good stay at the apartments. In Edinburgh people are used to living in lower ground floor level apartments because they are all over the city and think nothing of it. A lot of visitors are still wary of staying at this level, albeit there is less daylight in them but they are well... More
