‏Very disappointing experience – no hot water or heating for a full week

Location

We stayed at this hotel for a week and unfortunately had a very unpleasant experience. The staff were uncooperative and unresponsive. We asked several times for help to turn on the water heater, but no one came to assist us, nor were we given any proper instructions. As a result, we spent seven days without hot water or heating, which made our stay extremely uncomfortable. This level of service is unacceptable, and it’s clear that the hotel does not prioritize basic guest needs. I do not recommend this hotel and hope management will take serious steps to improve their service.

Great location. Fantastic flat on one of Edinburgh's most iconic streets. Highly recommend.

The key for the main door to the building was by email link. If you didn't have battery in your phone you wouldn't be able to get in. Keys would be better. There was a lock box outside the apartment with the accommodation keys in it.

Home from home

Fantastic location could not be any better for being in the heart of the city. The apartment was clean, spacious and modern. Being february Edinburgh is not the warmest but the accommodation was toasty and welcoming. The management team were also in constant contact before arrival and were on hand if needed during the stay.

Nothing.

Nice place!

The location and size of the flat was great! Staff were quick to help when the toilet flush was poor. Out within a few hours. Overall a very nice place to stay.

Cleanliness was good except for the bed throws which were dirty. The noise from the street with the single glazing was very loud especially with the party goers at 3.30am both nights. Could also do with curtains in the front lounge and another bathroom or two, en-suites where possible would help.

Nice place to stay.

The place is very clean, very big, bed rooms are great.

We could not open the link to get the code for the building. I had to bother neighbors to use her internet. It took neighbor a hour or so. Can you please send login and password for the internet to new people ? Also, information is scattered, hard to find all informations. Please send all informations at the latest email.

I'll never stay with Altido again

The flat itself was quite nice. It was sparkling clean, and the location couldn't be beat. The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking, and there were plenty of towels, soap, shampoo, washing-up liquid, etc. *For some reason the pots and pans are stored on top of the cabinets seven feet in the air (no exaggeration - my 6'6" brother couldn't reach them without standing on a chair) but at least there were plenty of pots and pans. *The bathroom is well-equipped with both a tub and a shower. The top half of the bathroom door is etched glass, which seemed an odd choice for a bathroom. We were a group of siblings who had no desire to see each other's bathroom activities through the etched glass, so we taped up a toilet paper curtain. Worked fine. *Not a complaint, just something to note: there is no soap tray, shelf, or handle in the shower and the floor of the shower is smooth plastic. You need to be okay with bending to the ground to retrieve soap or shampoo on a slippery floor with nothing to hold on to. *Also to note: you need to bring literally all food items with you. There are tea and sugar canisters but nothing in them. The salt and pepper shakers on the table are also empty. *Great people-watching opportunities through the windows but also very noisy - all windows are single paned glass. We came prepared with earplugs and white noise machines and we were fine. *The front door only opens by clicking a web link or calling the call centre every time. If you're coming from overseas and you thought you would sort out your phone when you got to the UK, you probably need to reconsider staying here.

I'll never stay at an Altido property again; we had one problem after another with the management company. The main problem is that the only contact info they give you is for a call centre overseas where heavily-accented people ask you to speak more slowly and don't actually have the power to do anything. The call centre is meant to report problems to the local management team who then contacts the landlord if necessary, but we never once got any help by calling that number. *Altido said that they would give us a code for the keysafe 24 hours in advance, but they didn't. Four calls to the call centre while we traveled still resulted in no code. We eventually found the address for the local office and stood there until they gave us a key. If we hadn't had the office address or had arrived outside of business hours, there would have been no way in. (Several hours after we arrived they finally sent us the code to the keysafe. It was empty.) *A few days into our stay, we woke up to a cold flat and no hot water. The landlord hadn't paid the gas bill so the gas company had cut off the gas. For the first 10 hours, Altido's response was merely to say that they had contacted the landlord--they didn't feel like they needed to do anything else. Eventually after 12 hours, countless phone calls, and two increasingly desperate visits to their office, they sent over some space heaters (it was 4 degrees) with some maintenance guys who were wonderful--something finally got done. Gas was off for about 36 hours. *We managed to lock ourselves out at 5am when we were leaving - our fault. No problem, Altido advertises a 24/7 hotline, right? Wrong. The call centre explained that 24/7 only refers to the call centre; you can report issues 24/7 but they're only dealt with during business hours. We had to sit outside for 3 hours until the office opened. *They don't publish the office address or phone number but you'll need it.

Hidden gem off the Royal Mile!

Location is absolutely perfect! Steps away from the Royal Mile and Waverley train station. We had a group of six and it was fantastic. Kitchen very well appointed, beds were nice and comfy as well. Very easy to collect keys and great communication with hosts. Very close to pubs and cafes, also near a Sainsbury's Local for groceries if you prefer to cook in. I would absolutely stay here again. Very reasonable price for location and size. Thank you for making our holiday wonderful!

The only downside was one bathroom for six people, but we made it work. Oddly enough, the doorknobs throughout the flat were a bit wonky. Also, there weren't any curtains in the living room, so while you might enjoy people watching, just know they may be watching you as well. LOL! Honestly, we would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Posizione strategica

La posizione dell'appartamento era perfetta!

Purtroppo i vetri delle finestre non erano insonorizzati e all'interno dell'appartamento si sentiva tutto quello che succedeva in strada
