Fab apartments

Great find! Renovations meant a longer walk through to the apartments but really wasnt an issue for us. Apartment was spotless and the facilities were great. The only real downside was there are no sockets near the mirror so getting ready was a little tricky as i didnt have a mirror with me so had to use my phone camera to see as i was doing my hair. Staff were super friendly and helpful and the location was great for us!

Seek elsewhere

The property is part of student accommodation undergoing renovations, as such the entrance is “temporary”, VERY studenty (for those students of 90s and 00s) and complex to find the 3rd floor. If first impressions count, this place isn’t for you. We were a family of 4, staying for 2 nights and chose the superior duplex style apartment, however there was very little space for clothing/luggage. For any longer stays, you might need to look elsewhere. If you’re facing the road, it’s LOUD. The windows are double glazed only (fine for home, but city centre main road and buses just below eye level..not so much) The apartment had all amenities required, but we’re starting to show wear, for example the shower head wouldn’t stay up and required to be held whilst showering. Door handles partly broken, and stains on the walls from greasy scalps due to lack of bedheads etc.. Would we stay again?….probably not. We paid almost £500 for two nights in early January, but for a little more we could have the assurance of a proper hotel.

The main entrance door was under repair. We had to go around the building to get to our room. But everything else was perfect.

Under renovation

There was a fan outside the room that was very noisy. There was a chemical smell in the building, maybe paint or such. The renovation works meant that going into and out of the property was a labyrinth.

Stayed a few times now and it’s always the same issue I find is the noise. Not just normal noise but every floorboard in the flat creaked and cracked so loudly I was worried I’d be the annoying one to other people.

Apartment was great, clean and well maintained, close to facilities and back bedroom buses. Very reasonably priced. One complaint, two lovely big mirrors but no plug nearby, doing my hair was a challenge.

Don’t keep your hopes too high. This is basically a university accommodation converted hotel, so sound insulation is quite bad. The TV was also not working.

Lovely location and had everything we needed

We enjoyed our stay at KM apartments. Lovely location and had everything we needed. The only issue we had was that our room was positioned directly above a loading bay, which unfortunately made a very loud noise/shook the room when deliveries were made, and woke us up for quite a while around 5/6am on the Sunday. However, we had no problems the next morning and we were only there 2 nights. Likely only an issue on weekends, and only for that room.

Very expensive for what is essentially ‘student accommodation’ but was immaculate and quite close to old town. Lots of students around as other floors are for the students. Staff very friendly

The University of Edinburgh runs a lovely catered apartment set right in the heart of their residence facility which allows for ease of getting around not only the city but if you are headed to the university (as I was) puts you right on the front doorstep. Lots of different flat configurations are available - I chose a studio as I had my son with me. It was great to have split levels to give you some space to yourself as well as a nice kitchen and simple (but comfortable) shower and toilet. Two reasons it's not five stars: 1. The internet was wobbly during our stay which may have been a fluke but as it was primarily a work trip was an annoyance. 2. Their breakfast had close to zero vegan options. Had I known I wouldn't have booked it (considering that Edinburgh is a very accommodating city) I don't think this should put anyone off coming, however. I think if you are looking for a location close to town but set back enough that you can work and rest in peace, it's perfect. I would definitely stay again.

The room could have been cleaned a bit better, hairs in the bed and lots of hair in the bathroom sink which was actually clogging it up so I had to remove this myself. There was also quite a few marks and splashes on the glass next to the bed which had not been cleaned off. When we booked this it was not clear that this is actually inside the student halls so was a bit noisy
