All 3 apartments were spaciuos. and the ones that looked out to the back of the building afforded fantastic views. Each apartment had cereal, milk juice, tea and coffee. The location was also great. I would say the apartments were maybe requiring a wee... More

Both myself and my boyfriend stayed at the Blue Rainbow Aparthotel over the May Bank holiday weekend. To be honest, it was a deal that I had purchased through Groupon at an amazing price not knowing what to expect really, other than the accommodation simply to be a base for the weekend. However, we were proved wrong!!! Upon arriving, we... More

The apartment was spacious and really well decorated. Every thing was laid on including fresh bread that arrived shortly after we had check in. Fixtures and fiittings, indeed every thing, was of great quality we could not have asked for more. Staff were really on top of their jobs - check in was quick and the briefing on facilities was...

We stayed at the Blue Rainbow apartments on a short break, the apartment was very nice and the staff though not plentiful were very helpful and friendly. I would not hesitate to go back, and would recommend them to my friends and family. More

The hotel was very good and the staff very polite and helpful. Our apartment was at the 5th floor and the view was wonderful. Every morning when I opened my eyes, I looked out of the window and wanted to see the sceanery first. The apartment was very warm, altough outside was little bit chily. In our opinion price and...

Arrived on the Friday and was warmly welcomed by a young lady (from Hungary), we were swiftly checked into the Penthouse Apartment where everything was clean and very well presented. The welcome pack was good and enough for breakfast. The young lady on reception took a group photograph for us and was always very polite and helpful. Apartments are central... More

The staff were the most friendliest and they were able to share with many alot of interesting history about Edinburgh and other areas of Scotland. I felt more at home then away from home stuck in some hotel. I loved my apartment and I was actually sad when I... More

Stayed in the 2-bedroom Penthouse suite in June last year (much cheaper and quieter:D) Like staying in your own 5 star house, clean, tidy, modern, well featured and great free coffee/maker. Comfortable beds and sooo spacious even the bathroom. Helpful/understanding hotel staff/reception staff. Need to work on internet options though as keyboard/wi-fi was poor, could do with bigger selection of... More

we stayed for 2 nights in a lovely 1 bed apartment. Spacious and bright, well equipped, and a lovely view over the gardens, the apartments are based in a lovely old typical Edinburgh building. Some details could have been improved - a bit of serious cleaning of the paintwork and bathroom tiles would make all the difference. The view from... More
