Worth weighing

5 to weigh
  • No on-site reception or traditional hotel services — This is a self-catering apartment, so there's no lobby, daily housekeeping, or dining options on site.
  • Pets not allowed — If you're travelling with a dog or cat, this apartment isn't an option.
  • Check-in window is limited to 13:30–23:59 — Arrivals outside these hours may need special arrangements, which isn't always convenient for late flights.
  • No smoking on site — Smokers will need to step outside; not ideal in Edinburgh's often rainy weather.
  • Overall rating below area average — With a 7.8 rating versus the area average of 9.0, expectations might need adjustment, though individual reviews are largely positive.
