Great location in old town Edinburgh. Walkable. Clean rooms and courteous staff. This is my 2nd time staying at Stay City ( Dublin -the first time) and was impressed both times. Definitely recommend and my next adventure, if there is a Stay City , I will reserve.

Spacious apartment, in good location. Well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds and sofa etc. Was very warm despite no heating being on so we were very glad of the fans that are provided!
The bed was really uncomfortable, we could hardly get any sleep. I guess it is relatively close to the sights (15-20mins walk) and the staff working there was very nice and helpful. The apartment itself was not the cleanest or in the best shape unfortuntely.
Great stay! There were a few little niggles here and there (light out in living room, stompy person upstairs (fortunately only heard them in the evenings), crumbs and dust here and there), but overall it was a great stay. Other than "stompy" upstairs, it was a quiet place, had good water pressure in the shower, a decently stocked kitchen (in terms of cooking gear, not food/seasonings), was easy to get to, close to multiple express grocery stores, restaurants, bakeries. We actually found it to be pretty central and convenient to everything and walked almost everywhere (but we're avid walkers so take that with a grain of salt). Would definitely stay here again!

Our apartment was tired looking, cleanliness can be improved. The complex is located a good 20mins walk from the city centre. There isn't much around the area.
Pro: the kitchen is equipped with plates, cutlery, microwave, nespresso machine and tea and coffee facilities so it is useful if you want to cook some meals.
Note that if you want to leave your luggage you need to pay for a storage locker and you pay £5 for 3hrs. We had 2 small carry on so it could fit in one locker

Fantastic stay. Lovely and clean and had everything we needed and more. Will definitely use again.
The apartment was in a great location in a safe neighbourhood, about 15 mins walk to the castle. Staff were very lovely and accomodating. The hotel could have supplied washing tablets but other than that we very much enjoyed our stay.
Enjoyed our stay.
Very clean and well located apartment.

I love the apartment feel. The place was a bit more secluded which I wanted, but you could walk to transportation or to the city center. I like to cook my own meals so this was perfect. The supermarket was in walking distance, an added plus. The staff was so accommodating and the place was immaculate.
Room was very nice. Arrived around 4am and there was someone there to check me in. Made check in easy. Everything is close by. Very much enjoyed my stay. I would come back for sure
Good location, nice reception folks. A little small, you have to handle your own replenishment of stuff, small closet. For price I expected better room/apt.
Pros: Nice clean, spacious apartment. Walking distance to tram
Cons: bathroom shower arrangement is interesting, there's a floor mop in place to move all the water into the drain. Whenever you shower the water goes to the whole bathroom including the toilet and sink area. I suppose it is for wheelchair accessibility but a hassle to mop the entire floor each time after showering and is still wet and slippery which is quite dangerous.
Amazing! great space for my family including entertainment space for people to pop in and see us. Clean, convenient with very helpful and polite reception desk personnel. Would definitely go back!
