Flat and beds not ready in time. Inadequate bedding provided and uncomfortable camp bed in sitting room - not as stated on website.

Feefo rating: single minus Product:

The flat on Cowgarehead is in a good position for the Fringe festival but it is noisy at night. Only suitable really for a couple. I would not book this flat again.

Our response

Many thanks for taking the time to leave feedback. Its great to hear that you were happy with the location of the property, as you have said though it is right in the centre of town, therefore some noise is to be expected. The check in time is 4pm, your group arrived early at 2pm, therefore the property was still in the process of being cleaned when you arrived. 


The fact your group required the camp bed and linen for your stay was not communicated correctly for your arrival and for that I do apologise. We did refund you compensation because of this issue your group faced. This has been taken seriously and will be rectified.

Hi, The room was clean and ready when we have arrived. The location was good. <br />However it was noisy in the weekend nights sometimes we woke up during our sleep. The Wifi was really really slow and we couldn't use it at all. There wasn't anything like a welcome pack with some snacks or water which I think it is important. Coffee, tea, washing liquid and sponges etc. seems like they are left overs from someone else's use.The bed was old and not comfortable. <br />If you are staying 1-2 days it should be fine but more than that I don't recommend it.

Very good appartment well furnished and very near everything.
Only little remark is about the bed. Matress is a bit too soft and we could feel the springs

It was a lovely apartment in a great location. Slightly let down by crumbs in cupboard, sofa that kept slipping down, limited pans e.g. no frying pan and instructions for where to put rubbish and recycling not clear i.e. couldn't see a bin in alleyway.

Our response

Thanks for leaving us some feedback. We take guest reviews very seriously, and they help us to keep our level of service to a consistently high standard.

We're pleased to hear that you thought the location and quality of the property was fantastic, and we hope you had an excellent visit.

We're sorry that you had a few minor issues with crumbs, pans and unclear waste/recycling instructions, and I've passed on your comments to the owner of the property.

We hope to welcome you back soon!

All the best

If would be helpful if there was more information, eg about housekeeping, where switch for washing machine is etc.

Feefo rating: single plus Product:

Although the apartment is nice, the main bed is too hard. It would be more attractive if there was more bedding, a soft mattress cover etc. like in Premier Inn. A sheet on a hard mattress is too basic. Also a little warning should be given about the area - it can be loud all night.

Helpful and responsive.

Feefo rating: single plus Product:

Very central location and a very nice apartment. Main downside is that there are a lot of stairs to climb. Weekend revellers mean it is quite a noisy area on Fridays and Saturdays, in particular - well into the small hours - but it is worth putting up with this for the advantages of being so central.

Very nice and kind. Everything was smooth.

Location is perfect if you like nightlife and old town. Apartment was very nice and clean. Not much to complain about, just one thing only - they should change the bed mattress cause it was way too hard to sleep on. Otherwise everything was perfect.

Feefo rating: single minus Product:

Poorly cleaned. Long black hairs everywhere. Curtains in lounge did not pull across. Heater not working. No curtain on small window in bedroom so daylight at 5.00am. The matress was the worst we have ever slept on. You could feel the springs through the material and the stains were disgusting. We will not be back and will not be recommending.

A good bargain, centrally located and with windows built to keep out the howls of the Edinburgh weekend nights. The second bed options are not much to cheer for though.

Our response

Many thanks for your feedback, I am pleased to hear the booking process went well for you. Its great you were happy with the properties location and standard. We hope to welcome you back to Edinburgh.

The apartment was better than it looked in the photos, and spotlessly clean. It was a great size, had everything we could have needed, and the location couldn't be better. We'll be back next time we're in Edinburgh!
