Wonderful location and lovely accommodation.

Fantastic location - amazing views of the castle. There were a few flights of stairs but we expecting this so it was not an issue for us - the views made up for the effort! Excellent communication from the hosts and the accommodation was fabulous.

Nothing.

An lovely spacious apartment in an excellent location

A spacious property that was clean and in an excellent location

There are 3 flights of steep, narrow stairs. One of our party struggled with these. Not a property for those with any medical problems, older or people who are older and not fit

My pleasure and appreciates to your hospitality

As we are family, I liked that is in the first floor and the spacing of the apartment and so unique even the tourism agent asked for your name and location after seeing it. Thank you for your hospitality and trust. Hussain Bin Asri

Frankly, the only problem I faced some noises from the upper ceiling when the neighbor from the second floor runs around the apartment. However, it doesn't affect my pleasure living in your property which I felt like my home.

Great location, clean and comfy.

Great location, well maintained, clean and comfortable

3 flights of stairs to the apartment, which we didn’t realise at the time - that should be noted in the description. It’s on a noisy street which might bother some, esp at night as George St is busy with pubs and clubs. Also a lot of homeless people bedding down in the doorway which is a bit disconcerting and intimidating.

Light, spacious apartment in a fabulous location. Needs soundproofing.

Fabulous location. Light, large rooms. Helpful staff at the end of the phone - thanks George!

The main issue was noise from George St in the front bedroom; double glazing is needed. There was also dirty cutlery put away in the draws which may be from previous visitors but should be checked by the cleaners. A few more toilet rolls would help too.

8.0 / 10.0

Plenty of space and great location

Great location, easy communication about access

Noisy; due to the location in the heart of Edinburgh, and close to venues that dont close until 3am there was some unfortunate noise pollution. It was also not made clear that there was no other way to get the bags up the stairs , than carry them up the 3 flights. This should be clearer

The location was great.

The sheets and doona were stained in one of the beds as well as loose particles on the sheets. There was also considerable street noise both nights.

Location, size, facilities and communication in preparation to visiting

No lift (but we knew it hadn’t) and single glaze windows so at night time/early hours had revellers leaving licensed premises singing and shouting.

Very spacious warm comfortable accommodation in a great location

Great location, warm and comfortable however, there were a lot of stairs, could benefit from a lift, the microwave had no control knobs so couldn't use it .. the large rug in the lounge looked very tired with large stains on it, could do with a replacement. It was requested that the bins were emptied and put out side in a bin, there weren't any? (an observation from having run a holiday letting businesses myself)

Great place except for the noise

Large rooms with everything you need for a comfortable stay. We booked two apartments as we were a group of 8 and there was plenty of room for us to eat and sit together in one apartment. Edinburgh is very expensive compared to other Scottish places we stayed but overall these were reasonably priced for the area .

It was right next to a bar. We stayed Thursday to Sunday and it was very noisy in the bedrooms at the front of the apartment. If you don’t like stairs these apartments are not for you unless you are on the lower levels. We were on 3rd and 4th floor and there were lots of stairs.

Exceptionally spacious and comfortable apartment

Very large, spacious, well maintained and appointed apartment with great views. We were at the top of a Georgian townhouse in the heart of Edinburgh so had great views north to the Firth of Forth and south to the Castle. There is no lift, but the wide staircase is easy to manage. Exceptionally comfortable and good choice of artwork, posters and prints. All within 10 mins walk of Edinburgh Waverley station.

Was there a downside yes. Gerorge street is a busy shoping street (great, lots to do) with plenty of nightlife too. So the bedrooms at the front of the apartment could be noisy at night, bring ear plugs if you are light sleeper. Double glazed windows would help and curtains in the smaller of the two bedrooms would also help. Sadly there were none, just a blind.

10.0 / 10.0

Perfect!

The room was spacious, clean, bright and tidy, with a high ceiling that felt really open. The bed (king or queen size) had a perfectly firm mattress—not too soft—making for a super comfy sleep. The heating worked great too, keeping the room nice and warm. Service was top-notch too; every request I had got a quick, helpful response.

6.0 / 10.0

Overall pleasant, but not worth it.

The location was perfect, big size apartment and the place was always warm and pleasant.

Starting off the trip the host wasn’t very responsive, nor accommodating (especially considering we were staying for four nights). Lights/bathroom doors/window frames were all broken.

10.0 / 10.0

We had a great time. A gem of a property.

The location was brilliant. Very central for restaurants, cafes and shopping. An easy walk from Waverley train station.

There were a lot of stairs to the apartment but great views because of that.

Good apartment plenty of space clean and tidy with city centre location easy to see all attractions

Good location, central to shops and city with good castle views . Easy accesses from airport and trains.

The central location means it is noisy at night from street revellers. The apartment is accessed by three flights of stairs no lift

Perfect. The most perfect place we could have to enjoy the great Edinburgh

Great location. In Edinburgh's New Town, on George St, amazing place to stay and enjoy. Short and nice walking distance from the Old Town. A very comfortable apartment. We enjoyed very much our days there.

9.0 / 10.0

It was nice place to stay for visit. Easy to find everying surrounded and the facilities are nice.

The apartment looks really nice with three independent bedrooms, two bathrooms. The location was very convenient, with walking distance from Waverley Train Station.

The bathrooms are small, and you need to get on steep stairs to get into apartments. No lift.

1.0 / 10.0

Unforgettably terrible .

It was noisy however having to climb 80 steep steps with luggage was completely unacceptable and and unprofessional on your behalf. As we were unable to do so for One night let alone 5 nights we had the expense of having to book in to other accommodation. A total disgrace. Not to mention when we had to collect the keys at a convenience store as per your instructions the young’s fellows wouldn’t give us the keys and we had to make a phone call. Every travellers nightmare is what I would call this experience.Even working out how to enter the premises itself was a hassle.

Very disappionted 4 TH FLOOR NO LIFT

Location , view and the apartment was amazing

A fourth floor apartment with no lift and you have to carry all the luggage's , This should be written as no one told us that there is no lift. very disappointed

The property is nice but the downside is there’s no lift and you need to walk 4 floors which is quite challenging not on

2.0 / 10.0

Very Uncomfortable. NO LIFT to 4th floor- book only if you can climb 90 stairs with your luggage.

Only the location.

1. NO LIFT in the property- had to carry all the luggage to 4th floor apartment. 2. At the time of check-in no message from property had to wait on the road outside the apartment for long time to get the code- which was not working initially. Message with code numbers came on booking.com at 5PM. Meanwhile we got it after wasting a lot of time on international call with property manager. 3. The property manager was very rigid about everything. 4. They do not clean the place till you stay, anything required additional even a towel wash was told as chargeable. So in case anyone stays for longer- the place will be dirty, if you run out of supplies- there is no way you can get them from property. 5. No one picks up the helpline call after 5.30 PM on the number provided. There was no hot water in bathroom on night and we didn't know whom to approach. 6. Name displayed at the main door is not JOIVY Luxury Flats- so keep guessing.

Beautiful apartment in a great location, but not as comfortable as we expected it to be

The apartment has lots of nice amenities and everything is quite clean, the view is amazing and we loved the feel of it. Sitting by the window to see the sun set was quite spectacular. The location is incredibly convenient and the two bathrooms were very nice.

The windows towards the street are extremely thin, there's barely a barrier to the noise outside and there was so much noise that you'll have a hard time sleeping without ear plugs. There's a bar right below the street-facing bedroom and during the weekend the noise was so bad we barely got any sleep. People that are light sensitive will need an eye mask as the curtains barely keep any light out. The staff is very inflexible, right after booking we realised we made a mistake and asked for a small adjustment in our booking and it was denied. We also travelled with two older people and not being made aware of the many steps we had to take to reach the apartment was a bit of a shock.

Fantastic Stay with Joivy!

The location was central and had a fantastic view of the city and the Edinburgh Castle. There was a great variety of shops and restatuarants nearby as well as easy access to public transportaiton. The Princes Street Tram stop is 2 blocks away for easy access to the airport. The flat was large, clean, and comforrtable. The JOIVY host was easily accessible and responsive via WhatsApp.

Not really a complaint, but for your awareness the apartment is on the 3rd European/4th American floor, hence the great views! If you're not used to climbing that many stairs or require a wheelchair accessible place, this flat is not for you.

Beautiful flat

The flat is just as beautiful as it is in the pictures. Location is ideal and also the views are the best. This a very good size 2bedroom flat in Edinburgh standards. If you understand that it is the 4th floor so there is climing and the bedroom on George street side is quite noisy, you are good to go. Now, the problem was the heating ( did now rise and then stay). The manual was useless. It was more warm in the corridor than in the flat. I can see this has been mentioned also in the previous reviews, so it is about time to sort the issue or update the manual with ALL steps with the heating. Also the washing machine didn't work, so having to wash dishes by hand on your holiday with the kids was no nice. Due to the problems, I had to contact the admin basically every day during our 5 day stay. During summer months heating is not an issue, but for winter months this flat is not value for money. Better maintenance and checking the appliances would give the guest possibilty to enjoy their holiday.

The perfect location for central Edinburgh

Location, views, decor and room size. Showers were excellent too.

No coffee pods or breakfast tea bags (looked like they’d been left by previous guests). Pillows very thin. So many stairs but that can’t be helped.

Beautiful apartment with all of the desired amenities and was very conveniently located

Location was very convenient to the locations we visited. We were able to walk everywhere we went (Carlton Hill, Edinburgh Castle, St Giles Cathedral, etc)

9.0 / 10.0

couldn’t fault the accommodation, very comfortable and clean. Only downside was the noise from the nightclub a few doors

lovely accommodation, very comfy beds. Great location right in the city centre.

unfortunately there is a night club a few doors down so the front two bedrooms were affected by the music until the early hours. Back bedroom was fine.
