Fantastic location with all main attractions a comfortable walk away. Could do with a lick of paint but perfectly clean with a great kitchen, powerful showers and comfortable beds.

We stayed on a particularly warm weekend in a two bed apartment and there was only one fan available and only one of the four available windows stayed open a little on its own, one wouldn’t open at all and two would open but wouldn’t stay open. With no air-con it got very warm with no air. This could easily be remedied and wouldn’t stop us staying here again and I guess you could say that Scotland has only a handful of warm days :0)

Couldn't fault it really, great location within walking distance of the Christmas markets, castle and train station and checking in and out was stress free. Very spacious and all the facilities you need. Was absolutely spotless also. Would stop again.

Only slight issue was the window in the bedroom which was single glazed and therefore was quite noisy during the night with a few bars directly across the road. It also wouldn't stay open properly and as the heating was on permanently it was quite hot in the bedroom with not being able to keep the window open slightly. ( Room 14 ). Maybe an extra wardrobe wouldn't have done any harm either and the hangers were quite awkward to use as they couldn't be removed. Small inconveniences that didn't spoil the experience overall.

This is 2 blocks away from the Edinburgh coach station, which was important to me because I was taking a Rabbie's tour the next morning. The room was facing the street, but I didn't hear noise from the street. The kitchenette was well equipped, and there was a washing machine. It is minutes from Princes Street and the park underneath Edinburgh Castle. I would have stayed here again upon my return to Edinburgh, but there was no availability. The Spires is next door to a Thai massage place. I had a strained muscle and was limping a bit after the flight, I booked a massage and it was one of the best I've ever had, the limp and pain were gone. Also, I arrived early morning and the massage helped fill the time until check in.

This is not a negative, just information. Like many places in Edinburgh, there are steps to the front door and elevator, Not many and manageable, but it may be an issue for some with a lit of luggage.

It was very central and easy to get around Edinburgh from there on foot. It was very warm and sunny, especially in the afternoon. There is a lift. It's well appointed with a washer/dryer and a dishwasher and small fridge. We got fast friendly help when we reported that the TV wasnt working.

It was a lot smaller than we were expecting, especially the living area. There is no real packng space for clothes. A few hooks behind doors for coats would be helpful as well as door stoppers to keep bedroom doors open. A bigger bin would be great. The street was noisy at night.

We loved the space. The apartment was nicely appointed. Location was very convenient. We loved having access to a kitchen and everything we would need to cook was supplied.

We stayed over a weekend so there was NEVER staff onsite during our stay. We ran out of toilet paper on Sunday so definitely no staff, we ended up wandering the hallway and opening any door that wasn't locked until we found some. Also, the apartment is pretty well insulated but we were on the first floor so there was a bar right below us. You will hear music from the bar. It is not terrible but if you are the type of person who need silence when you sleep then ask for a higher floor.

The location was great for the Fringe and it was convenient to have two bathrooms. The beds were comfortable and we liked the showers, which appeared to have been installed quite recently.

The dining chairs and sofas could do with being upgraded, and the kitchen was not very well equipped (e.g. we couldn't find a chopping board or any small knives for chopping). There was quite a lot of noise from the road, but we had anticipated this, in light of the central location.

The property was in a good location however NO PARKING. The property itself does not have parking and the Q Park that the hotel recommends is a walk away. We found a street close by and paid however this was very expensive during daytime so we moved the car. To park close to the property your car has to be low emission zone friendly too. The rooms were great and clean as well as a comfy bed and shower.

The original room we were placed in was on the top floor and was freezing. This being said it was January and the heating in the room hadn’t been on I’m guessing for cost effectiveness. We had to therefore ring the emergency number as we were both shaking from the cold. The man on the phone was exceptional and moved us into a warmer larger apartment free of charge. This saved our trip! Also DOG CHARGES APPLY. We stayed for one night and it is £10 per night with a MINIMUM £20 charge. You also have to pay £50 deposit which is refunded as long as no damage occurs.

Apartment was clean and ideal for us as a family to all be together. Parking would have made it easier as unloading the car wasn't the easiest. Lift was broken and we were on third floor. I suffer severe hip problems so this wasn't ideal but not the end of the world. The location was good. 10 minute walk to the play house. Everything u needed in the apartment. Car alarm went off the whole night we were there and there were bottle clinking outside but this is no fault of the apartment owners at all. Was very warm and cosy when we got there as was minus degrees outside. No noise in the block of apartments from other occupants. Would stay again.

Good location, very soundproof between the bedrooms and living room. Lift available which was great for us as we were on the third floor. We didn't cook but there were good kitchen facilities. Two sets of keys which is good for groups.

Shower in main bathroom was blocked, when alerted they fixed this for our second night. The bathroom in the en-suite could do with some shelving in the shower to put toiletries as it's quite a small space.

Location was close to bus terminal, train station and city centre. So close to everything that we required. Having a washing machine came in very handy.

Front door needs to be looked at. It opens in two halves. It's way too heavy, hard to get luggage through and it slams shut really loudly. If Spires is going to provide tea and coffee, it should also provide uht milk. No point in providing half a service. No clothes dryer or clothes horse. The overhead cupboards were too high. I couldn't reach the crockery that were in the overheads. I had to ask my husband to bring some plates and cups down and keep them down on the bench fir when I needed them.
