Advertised as an "aparthotel" Western Harbour is actually just apartments. There are linens, including towels, and dish soap in the kitchen and a tv but that is about it. There is no phone or housekeeping services. You actually have to sign a form saying that the apartment will be clean and the trash taken down to the dumpster or you will be fined.
It was also very hard to find, we had to call the phone number given to us 3 times for directions.
The view is of the harbour but also of the construction between the apartments and the harbour.

The facilities are fine but the customer service was just the worst I've ever had in a hotel. The treatment by staff was disgusting and I'd certainly recomend all to stay well away.

These apartments are a good alternative to a hotel, especially if you're in a group. The minimum stay is just one night and it was very inexpensive (£30 pppn with 5 of us in an apartment). The apartments are brand new and you can certainly tell by the decor. The kitchen and bathrooms and very up-to-date (you could still smell the grout in one of the bathrooms!). Although the Harbour Apartments are a little out of town (about a 15-20 min drive) there is a free shuttle bus to and from the city centre which runs regularly until approx 9:30pm.
Unfortunately it's now time for the bad points albeit only a couple.
If there are more than 4 of you staying in an apartment, the extra 1 or 2 people sleep on a pull out bed, which is fine, apart from the fact that the bed is INCREDIBLY uncomfortable (sleep on the sofa instead if you can). The showers were fantastic but only if there was hot water, which seemed to be quite unpredictable. It ran out after 2 showers in the evening but there was plenty in the mornings.
I would consider staying here again but only as part of a group ( a bit expensive between two of you).

My fiance and I booked this apartment hotel online, it appeared to be clean and affordable and a little out of to town according to the map provided with online booking agency. They do have a complimentary bus shuttle but be warned you need to book in advance they only have 16 places and they over book leaving you to walk the 45 mins into town, or bus should you find a stop and the right one.

However:

1. The post code and online map directions are completely wrong, the hotel apartment is not even on the outside of town but actually on Leith Docks.

2. The Free Bus shuttle, is the biggest crock, yes they do have one, but you need to book in advance as there is only 16 spots and even when you do book in advance they still overbook and don't check to see if they have overfilled their seats. Leaving you with a long walk into town or a bus ride if you can find the right one or an extremely expensive taxi ride in.

3. As the hotel is much further out then it has been mentioned or shown, there is not many available grocery stores to pick up supplies and it should be noted to get all of these things before you arrive at the hotel or you'll be out of luck, or a 25 minute walk to the closest mall on the other side of the docks at Ocean Terminal.

On another note, the hotel apartment were great, if you don't look hard enough, it was missing glasses and utensil expected for a aparment hotel. It was also missing the finishing touches such as pictures on the wall, hair dryer, coffee maker etc...The beds were really comfy and the lounge was huge for 2 people it was more then enough for us. I would still recommend this place for people to stay. The only thing is I would have my own car for transportation.
