10/10 Excellent

The Braid Apartments are the best place to stay in Edinburgh. Beautiful, comfortable, snd convenient!!!
Lisa, 4-night trip

8/10 Good

Our second stay here and again very comfortable. Good location in New Town, 10 mins from Waverley station with buses and trams even closer. Apartment is well equipped and a good size. The check-in app is a little irritating, and there seemed to be a herd of elephants staying in the apartment above us! Like everything in Edinburgh it is expensive in August.
Margaret, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Good facilities, excellent location
Simon, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Bed was comfortable. Everything very clean. Took a few tries to get into the unit (didn’t know we had to lean extra heavily into door to open). Location was great. Within walking of everything we wanted to see. If we return to Edinburgh in the future we will check here first for our place to stay.
Pamela, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

A fantastic apartment
Amy, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The location was perfect to explore Edinburgh. The apartment had everything we needed. A small table with chairs would be really appreciated.
manon, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Richard was very helpful
Stephen Andrew, 3-night trip

6/10 Okay

Great for a solo traveler. Very convenient location but with that came very inconvenient noise during all hours of the night. Could hear people walk past the window as if it was open, and as it's right next to several bars... shouting and screaming of those leaving the pubs. If you don't mind that, excellent location. If you do, bring earplugs.
Aleksandra, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The 2 bedroom unit was spacious with 2 bathrooms and a/c in the bedrooms. Everything very clean. Larger bedroom had 2 twins pushed together and its own bathroom. Other one had full bed. Generous kitchen with everything needed if want to cook a little and settle in. For those with mobility issues - note 2 sets of stairs before one get's to elevator (3 front treads and then another 15). Milk in the frig was welcome (but did not get the basket of goodies other reviewers mentioned). Nice robes, slippers and lux lotions, shampoos and conditioner. Only complaint was sometimes a little scattered garbage and garbage smells across alley from entrance (but maybe nothing to do with the Apts). Some comm issues with arriving after front desk closed at 7pm but worked out fine. Would stay again.
Helen, 2-night trip

Great place to stay
Darren, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Property was magnificent clean, very well kept and many aimed. The restaurants along the street are fenomenal so no need to go to the busy part of the town at dinner time. The delicious milk in the fridge tops it all off. Really convenient to have a washing machine that is also a drying machine. Thank you for the tremendous stay!
Ursula, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Enjoyed this New Town location more than Old Town. Proximity to a lovely park area, castle, museum, Waverly Train Station. Everything excellent except dryer instructions not for the model in unit caused a lot of trouble. Instructions need to be corrected, simple, and posted.
Peggy, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Perfect base for weekend in Edinburgh

Location excellent for exploring all Edinburgh has to offer, and that's a lot! Communication with front of house was great and staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend and would use again for our next visit to an amazing city.
Kevin, 2-night trip
