We have just returned from a 3 day break to edinburgh. The apartment was terrible and smelt of oil. The bathroom was not even clean, and the carpet had ruffled up. The broucher had said that this was a romantic getaway with amazing veiws of the castle. We could not even see the castle from our room. The windows were... more

When we made this reservation the accomodations looked perfect. We needed something near the Royal Mile and the University of Edinburgh as I was helping my daughter settle in for graduate school and her school accomodations were on the Royal Mile. Having an apartment would be a perfect idea because we could explore the are for grocery stores, take outs,... more

We went to Edinburgh to celebrate our 30th Wedding Anniversary and my belated 50th birthday. We knew all along that we would have to check in at Queen Street and, as our flight arrived in Edinburgh in the morning, arranged to leave our suitcases at the offices of Castle Apartments and get some lunch and do a bit of looking... more

We booked this apartment before reading the reviews...Doh! Firstly, it was a bit of a pain having to check in at a separate location which was not made clear to us at the time of booking and cost us a few extra bob as we asked the taxi to wait on us!! We got to the apartment and after having... more

I'd booked this several weeks before, in preference to a hotel, for a weekend family break - and read the reviews here a couple of days before we left and was quite worried. So lets start with the bad stuff - not all the fault of the owners/management I should say. The website I booked with didn't mention anything about... more

Our 2 bedroom apartment was fantastic. We were right on the Royal Mile (just a few doors down from where we picked up the keys....look for the red door between the 2 tartan shops!). Yes, there were 3 flights of stairs to contend with, but once we got into the apartment we were very pleased to find it very modern... more

My family (my husband, 18 year old daughter, 14 year old son and I) enjoyed our stay at the Castle Apts. in April, 2006 immensely! True, there is no elevator, but we found the winding stone steps charming (although breathless at end of climb), and our apartment was clean and comfortable. We did not expect a building which has stood... more

We selected James Court apts based on location. I discovered the reviews at this site only 2 days prior to our trip and quite frankly, I panicked! We did feel that having to go to another part of the city to register and pick up the keys is very inconvenient and costly, as you need to go via taxi. My... more

I was attracted to this property by the web site. It's completely misleading. The apartment we were offered had no hot water. We were re-located into something you could only describe as student accomodation (noisy and dirty) - except most self respecting students may choose elsewhere! Avoid if at all possible! more

Four of us recently stayed for 4 nights and rented two apartments at a cost of £80 per night, per apartment. We were very disappointed, the apartments are very, very basic and the carpets in both were disgusting, covered in stains. The television in our apartment was not connected to an aerial and we could not get a picture, the... more
