Having came across a deal on Groupon for a luxery 2/3 night stay in Castle Apartments with kitchen and bathroom, television etc, a bottle of bubbly, chocolates and a zebra burger meal for 2 in a restuarant, we thought we would snap up the bargain. We arrived in Edinburgh at 15:00 roughly, wondered about for nearly an hour (check in... More

Terrible Experience. You have to check in on Queen Street which is about a 20 minute walk away from the apartments. Once arrived on the Royal Mile, eventually found the building. Entrance is down an alley-way. We were based on the top floor. With no lifts, we had to treck all the way to the top via a stone spiral... More

We only surivived one night in the James Court flat in the Lawnmarket. We booked on a Groupon deal but can't find out if the discount meant we only qual;ified for the worst property or they are all like this. With some of the lights out, the long climb up the "medieval" stairs was quite perilous with luggage - coming... More

We booked through Groupon on a £99 deal, I spoke to the office prior to booking to ensure they could provide sufficient accommodation for us (a couple plus 3 year old), I was assured there was plenty of room and they would provide a bed in the lounge. Very unusual checking in routine, reception is on the other side of... More

Booked our stay via groupon so we opted for 3 nights during the week @ £99. Arrived to check in on the Sunday. The check in process is a bit of an inconvenience as the office is quite a bit away from the actual apartments meaning we had to spend money on a taxi. Part of the groupon deal was... More

Maybe we just got lucky? I bought a 3 night stay in these appartments from groupon for £99. We then changed the date and were told we could have a bigger appartment, great stuff. The key pick up was quick and easy to find. The appartment it's self was located on the royal mile, two bedrooms, nice kitchen with fridge,... More

I can't believe all of the problems my wife and I had with our apartment seem to have been left untouched. Is the place dangerous? YES - no fire exit! Are the apartments fairly unwholesome? YES - think poor quality student accomodation! Are the company evasive and unhelpful when you ask for a refund? YES - but persist - you... More

Every cost cutting, penny pinching scan you can imagine. Don't waste your time, and money. Dangerous electrics, useless staff (who don't answer the emergency phone number). Filthy rooms, stained sheets. Noisy nightclub next door. NO HEATING, IN DECEMBER!!! NO REFUND If these guys are your only option, i suggest sleeping on the street, there's not much in it. More

We booked a 3 bed flat over new years eve 2011/12. Alarm bells should have rung when we picked the keys up. They had rung us two days earlier to say their card machine had broken so to bring cash. I now suspect this is either because it makes it harder to get a refund when you find out how... More
