Solo 3 weeks
I stayed at Holyrood Aparthotel for a little over 3 weeks. The room was clean upon arrival and was exactly as advertised. The front desk staff was helpful at check in and the location is perfect for any visitor to Edinburgh. Less than 10 minutes walking to Waverly Station, close to a small Tesco, and close to so many things to do in Old Town. I do wish that the room had a small dresser. The closet was small with few hangers and did not have a set of drawers, though it did have some small shelves. The sofa was uncomfortable, I did not use it and instead opted to sit on the bed. I only asked for housekeeping to come in a few times to clean the room. Two of the three times the work was great and I felt it had been cleaned thoroughly, the one time I asked for cleaning in the middle of my trip was lacking. They did not change the sheets or duvet and the bathroom was still a bit dirty. All of this is stuff I can live with and if I'm in Edinburgh again for another 2 to 3 week trip I'd be happy to stay here again!
