This location is perfect spot, close to tram, train station, and amazing Edinburgh sites. There was more than enough space in this apartment to feel more like a home away from home. Grocery store is around the corner, and many eateries to explore. Bed was comfy, shower was clean, and having a kitchen was a great option.
There was 2 towels for us each, shampoo and shower gel was also provided. No toothpaste though. Kitchen has all the crockery you need, no frying pan though but has 2 saucepans. Nice cosy blanket also available in the wardrobe.
They also provided some dishwasher tablets, washing up liquid and clothes washing tabs.
If you park at St James, you can obtain discount for the parking from the hotel's office which is a short walk from the hotel. Definitely worth it.

So when I got there I couldn’t get in the building.. they decided they wanted a deposit.. that was after I put the pin in to access the building.. we got put in a room next to an elevator which was like a rocket.. and the noise from the trams and public.. you would’ve thought I was sleeping in the street.. not that I got any sleep.

The apartment itself was clean, spacious, well kitted out and in a great central location. However, the bed was small and very uncomfortable and there was a lot of noise late in the evening from businesses nearby emptying bottles into the bins outside, as well as noise from the builders next door early in the morning.

Very close to the station and all the shops and restaurants.
The room was spacious and had big windows.
The shower room could do with a refreshing, but overall, it was a pleasant stay.
