This is the best place I have ever stayed at on a vacation. It is literally a little apartment equipped with a kitchen, dishwasher and washer/dryer. You are stocked with milk, juice, bread, coffee, tea, cereal and a few other snacks all free for your stay. The staff there were extremely pleasant and helping and it is located in a... More

This place is a real find! Some distance from the railway but blessed with good weather the walk is manageable even with luggage. We had a superior appartment and couldnt want for more. Fully equiped kitchen with washing machine and dish washer. A welcome basket of breakfast goodies as well. The flat was cleaned to perfection and all rooms well... More

Wonderful find for 4 women traveling to Scotland for the first time. When we missed our flight to Edinburgh they became concerned and waited after hours to find us. (We had to drive from London). Enough space to start the day in a comfortable kitchen and end the day in a comfortable living room. I can't say enough good things... More

My family and I stayed here for 3 nights for our spring holidays in Edinburgh. I found the friendly reception from Charlie very inviting. His knowledge of the city and helpfulness was compelling. He showed us the apartment and even helped us with our luggage. The apartment was fully-equipped with a kitchen, dishwasher and washing machine. There was a basket... More

My wife and I stayed here for 2 nights whilst having a leisure weekend in Edinburgh. When we checked in Chris from the concierge team was excellent. He helped with our bags and showed us through the apartment explaining everything. The apartment was well furnished with plenty of amenities. There is a large video/DVD library available in the building if... More

Stayed for only one night but the tremendous staff and great location mean that we will be returning and using this gem as our base on our next holiday to Scotland. The concierge was the best I've ever encountered and having stayed in quite a few 5 star hotels in my day that says a lot! Sure there are some... More

The Knight Residence combines the best of both accommodations worlds: spacious modern full-sized, fully-equipped apartments, with conscientious and warm staff. I was afraid that all we would get was the apartment, but the concierges performed at the level of a Mandarin Oriental, booking us taxis, making recommendations and multiple calls for restaurant reservations on a busy holiday weekend, and explaining...

BEWARE!!!! This hotel is 30 yards from THREE STRIP CLUBS/LAP DANCING BARS!!!!!!!!!!!!! We went at the weekend and the NOISE is awful! The punters have a smoke outside, queuing to get in, leaving the bars/clubs, the staff from the various bars emptying the bottle bins at midnight - the windows in the room have double glazing and I even wore...

The staff here are seriously fantastic and really go out of their way to help with anything you might need. Apartments themselves are very good value too, a lovely quiet location, great facilities and plenty of space. They are perhaps a bit worse for age in certain areas like the shower and the floor creaked like mad but we were... More

The great thing about these apartments is the central location albeit that it is very close to a few lap dance bars and so when venturing out, it can be a little intimidating with large bouncers and semi drunk punters hanging around outside. When inside though, the apartments are great. We comfortably fitted into our 2 bedroom by using the... More
