We stayed on 18th March for one evening and the apartment itself was clean, stunning view and very spacious. The only downside was the WIFI didn't seem to work. The staff at reception were excellent and I spoke to Alfonso prior to our arrival who provided me with all the help and information I needed.

As regards the review below, I too couldn't use the email or contact number but the apartments have changed owners and hence the confusion. If you check the hotel.com website the new contact information is on there if anyone else has a booking in future and worried if this scenario occurs. Contact them by mobile and they will help you.

Would definitely use these apartments again. 

18th March Stay

Booked two apartments for myself, my partner and 6 kids. Both apartments were lovely, clean spacious with everything you could possibly need (Asda very close for anything you’ve forgotten). Only downside we didn’t get two apartments together but we were a last minute booking so can’t complain. Brilliant value for money and the kids had a ball, definitely be back. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Birthday break

My family and I were a bit late and reception was closed but there is a fob system that you are able to get the key from. We were very impressed with our apartment which was right on the top floor with a fantastic view of the sea and the Royal Yacht Britannia. We had enormous windows with a door that opened in the summer when it was hot. The apartment was really clean, it had lovely wooden floors throughout and we had towels, some teabags, coffee, brown sauce satchels, a few milks, washing liquid, a dishwasher tablet and body gel supplied. In the apartment was a large corner sofa which you can turn into beds, a large tv which you can get Netflix on and you can also have a dvd for free from reception. The apartment is large and it has a hair dryer, dishwasher, washing machine, a microwave and everything you would require in the kitchen. There are plenty of heaters in the apartment and it is beautifully warm. There were two bathrooms, one with a bath, the en-suite with a shower. There are plenty of restaurants nearby, a Brewers Fayre and a seafood restaurant plus many more. You can get a number 10 bus every ten minutes and apparently they operate 24 hours into and back from Edinburgh. The only thing I would like to change is that the beds were a hard so bed toppers could be put on, I do not like very soft feather pillows or duvets but that is an individual preference so I would bring my own pillows. Our electricity cut off in the morning and we went to the reception to tell them and in the evening when we returned  it was on. The apartment needs a little touching up here and there with wear and tear from other occupants. We would definitely return and felt it was terrific value for money. 

A view to die for

Booked here for a 2 night stay. Was apprehensive as communications were not good before visit. However, on arrival, after calling the number provided on the office window (office empty at 3pm), the representative arrived promptly, and gave us the keys and directions. 
On entering the property we were very impressed with the size and cleanliness. The Wi-Fi was excellent, and we had a great stay. It had 2 bathrooms, and plenty of space. 
Location was great, right by the bay, and a great cheap bus service just 2 mins walk away. 
Overall we were pleased with the stay, and I would consider staying there again on a future visit to Edinburgh.


Short Visit to Edinburgh

The good - customer service as we were contacted to find out if our arrival would be after 5pm and details of key collection were emailed. Location is fabulous, on the waterfront, good restaurants and supermarket nearby. Views from apartment were amazing although weather was bad we couldn’t see far. Free parking. The bad - apartment is tired, electric radiators did not work so additional fan heaters/convectors were provided, curtains were cheap and ill fitting, why no curtains in the lounge? Biggest issue was WiFi stopped working on 1st morning, reported it immediately but of course wasn’t fixed so kids were very upset with no connection and we had planned a FaceTime call with family which couldn’t take place. Okay - nice towels and soap but no hand sanitiser provided. Manuals for white goods would have been useful and ice cooler didn’t work which we only found after flooding kitchen by pouring water into freezer. Good value for money.

The good, the bad and the okay

Arrived and collected key from reception friendly service. Was well informed via email. Found apartment with no problem and plenty of parking close to apartment.
Apartment was spacious and well equipped.
Had a lovely view of leith port and the sea.
Welcome pack was a nice addition after a long journey.
Only minor things that stopped it from being 5 stars were having to get rid of rubbish on your last day. Carpet in one of bedrooms was rather dirty n would be better with wood flooring like rest of apartment. Also some of pots in the cupboard were chipped and needed replacing, some oven trays would have been helpful and a decent tin opener, apart from that we had a lovely stay and we would definitely recommend.

Lovely apartment with stunning view

Great location on the waterfront with views across the Forth to the bridge from the harbour. Plenty of restaurants locally and easy 20 minute bus or taxi ride into Edinburgh. Apartment was very large with plenty of space for 6 adults. Kitchen well stocked with utensils, crockery etc. Reception staff friendly and helpful and key fob system easy. 
It was let down a bit and lost a star over the maintenance. Nothing major but some things had not been completed and others were broken and had not been fixed. The decorating was surprisingly poor and botched giving a shabby feel to what could be some very luxurious apartments. 

4 nights in Leith

Thoroughly enjoyed a weeks stay at the Grand Harbour after a bit of a shaky start.
I’ll get that out of the way.
Upon arrival I had to put the wardrobe doors back on their runners, the main bathroom sink’s plug mechanism was broken and stuck in place not allowing waste water out. The welcome booklet had a sticker on the front with WiFi password that didn’t work and there was a previous occupant’s empty cake box in the cupboard in the living room.
After speaking to reception they sent someone to sort the plug who said they’d return the following day but as far as we were aware they didn’t. We had the en-suite sink so managed fine, we found the correct WiFi password further in the welcome book so all was well.
The apartment was fantastic, modern, spacious, clean with fabulous views over the port to the Royal Yacht Brittania.
The beds were comfy, linen clean, towels provided, great shower and kitchen facilities too.
Our 10yr old son loved it that much he wanted us to move in permanently!
The apartments are on the No10 bus route that takes you right into the centre of the city to Princes Street with frequent return buses during the hour.
We used the apartment as a base to explore Stirling, Falkirk Wheel, Loch Lomond, South Queensferry etc as well as Edinburgh itself.
In close proximity you have an Asda literally 2 minutes drive and a Brewers Fayre as well as a more select restaurant with 5 minutes walk.
We were sorry to leave after a great stay in fabulous accommodation.


Great apartments & location

We stayed for 1 night in the 1st floor apartment. Amazing views & lucky for us the sun shone! Fantastic location with a short walk to restaurants  & bars. Due to the current situation we couldn’t dine in but had a couple of beers outside the restaurant & took away food to the apartment. Would’ve been 5 stars but it does need decorated & floor was a bit chipped. Easy checkin & out.

Beautiful apartments with fantastic views

I always aim to give a balanced view of any place. So, the good bits (and there are some), very friendly staff, a great location (for me this is the big bonus, as it’s right in the water, feels quiet and safe, and walkable to some cool places to eat, or an easy bus into Edinburgh), the overall area and outside decor is well kept. The bad bits: whilst the staff are friendly they are clearly stretched, I informed them well in advance I was arriving after closing, and had to chase on the day till the last minute to get my check in instructions, which were wrong, we were sent to the wrong floor!!! We stayed in these apartments just a few years ago and they were so very smart, ultra modern, well looked after, a brilliant standard! But 2yrs in what a difference time has made. Our apartment was looking very “tired” with (as shown on our photos) holes in the walls, a lot of chips and marks, a truly terrifying bathroom. The kitchen was very dirty (grime in handles etc). The furniture was warm out, beds terrible. Such a shame, you can see these can be so good and deserve the money you pay to stay in them, but when presented like this, nope, not worth it! I described this to the desk staff both on email and when checking out. They seemed apologetic, but not surprised, and no offer of redress. Another shocking issue, on arrival late at night we found an apartment not even stocked with a single sheet of toilet paper?! Are times so hard you don’t get toilet paper now?! And if that’s the policy then make it clear!!! So my advice, on one hand its worth a look for the location, but right now given the pitfalls, you can probably do better with your money! Such a shame they’ve struggled to keep the standard. No doubt it’s a hard time for all in the hospitality industry. But the issues with the room could of easily been rectified over the past year, or my complaints could of been met with better action! 

Struggling to maintain its standard!!!
