The benefits of serviced apartments in Edinburgh for holidays

There are many benefits to choosing a serviced apartment for your holiday, especially when compared with a hotel. Perhaps the most desirable benefit is the privacy an aparthotel affords. With your own kitchen and living room, your family can relax in peace and avoid the bustle and noise of busy hotel corridors and foyers.

Just some of the many benefits of a serviced apartment are:

·         Flexibility of apartment size and style. With our apartments you are able to customise your choice and make a space more suited to you and your travelling companions. This means we offer many Edinburgh apartments for large groups as they can be adapted for multiple additional guests, with extra sleeping arrangements a possibility.

·         A luxury living space for you and your family. A key benefit of an apartment is being able to have separate spaces for you and the kids. Putting the kids to bed at 8? No problem. Relax in your own kitchen and living room safe in the knowledge that your family is sleeping in the shared space nearby.

·         The option to self-cater. A fully furnished kitchen with all the essentials and modern appliances gives you the option to cook, relax and entertain in your own space with no time limits or specific times of eating.

·         An uninterrupted holiday experience. With your own apartment, you can choose whether or not you would like a concierge service and how often you want maid service, meaning you can plan your time in your apartment to be undisturbed by unwanted intrusions.  

With all of our apartments there are options to design and pick unique requests to suit your preferences. Simply tell us what you require and our brilliant staff will do their best to accommodate your needs.
