Cowgate's Little Hideout

Firstly, the location could not be better. Literally, the city on your doorstep. The apartment had a nice little bit of character. It was spotlessly clean. We couldn’t have asked for anymore. A true little gem

No negatives whatsoever

Great central location. Very comfortable place to stay in the city centre!

Location was amazing - really easy to get to everywhere on foot. Maximum 10 minutes walk to any of the festival

There was building works all around that started at 7am - very noisy

The location was great. The facilities it provided to use were perfect while you’ve been travelling a few days.

It was noisy - it’s on quite a busy close so lots of people noise as they walk past. You can hear the upstairs neighbours and the downstairs neighbours boiler sounds like it’s in the cupboard right next to the bed. It’s also behind a restaurant so the staff bringing rubbish outside and tipping it in bins multiple times an evening and then standing outside smoking, so you could smell that too. Overall very noisy, I’d say the quietest times were from midnight till about 5-6am 😖 The bedroom was very bright - lights from neighbouring properties shone right into the room. The bed was horrible! A spring mattress on a slat bed 😟 not good at all. Other things - there were no cloths or tea towels. No sort of essential kitchen items for cooking like oil etc and no washing detergent for the washing machine - kinda silly to book an apartment and have to go and buy everything. Also, it’s free parking but make sure you’re a confident reverser and have a relatively small car otherwise you’ll have a hard time parking.
