“Great service, excellent apartment!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 January 2012

I was looking for somewhere to stay with my girlfriend while she was back from a year abroad that meant we'd have time together without encroaching on space at her parents. Lo and behold we found Ocean Serviced Apartments a few minutes away from them, next to the end of the Number 10 run at Western Harbour, so really convenient for getting into town. Takes about 20 mins max to get to Princes St by it for £1.30, so if you want to be in the centre of town immediately then this isn't the place for you - but that certainly wasn't an issue for us.

From arrival the customer service was superb - we had made a specific request about equipment in the flat in advance and they accommodated it with a smile, remembering on check in that we'd asked for it.

Despite on my part managing to flood the bath two weeks into my stay the staff handled it with calm and grace too. The whole thing was dealt with fairly and we were incredibly apologetic for any trouble caused.

In terms of apartment - you get exactly what you pay for - which is a very good quality flat that provides you with all the utilities you would expect when at home. We were on the 6th floor which had an incredible view over Edinburgh - was very impressed especially as I was staying for a month.

There's an ASDA 5-7 minutes walk away, open 24/7.

If you're looking for a serviced apartment complex with great attention to detail and care then I'd definitely recommend here.

Flat occupied: C-24.

Room Tip: If visiting the Asda after 2230 then the car park-side entrance is the one that remains open 24/7...

“Wonderfull place to spend holidays!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 November 2011

Clean, well located, and what the most important well equipped. Apartment was clean and spacious. We were well situated - we got great view on the Firth of Forth and the harbour. Friendly and helpful service - we had all we needed. Well equipped kitchen helped us save some money. Near by Asda is open 24h. Additionally there are some good restauratns about half mile with great sea food. Good bus communication makes its perfect place to explore Edinburgh - city worth visiting!

“Great place to stay to explore Edinburgh”

Large well appointed apartments, with plenty of room for four. The area is quiet and there is free underground car parking. Located at the end of bus route 10 that will get you in to the city centrein about 15 minutes, the apartments are also close to the Britannia and the Ocean terminal complex of shops and restaurants. No shortage of eating out options nearby. A large 24hr Asda is also close if you need to eat in - the full kitchen means that this is no problem.

“Quiet, well-situated, spacious serviced apartments, friendly”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 September 2011

people found this review helpful

We are so glad we stayed in these spacious serviced apartments in a quiet part of Edinburgh, but on a direct bus line into the city centre. At least 2 excellent restaurants are within a 5 minute walk away (Prezzo and Loch Fyne) and others are nearby, but with a full kitchen in the apartment, you can just as easily eat in. A huge supermarket (Asda) is 5 minutes' walk away. From our apartment window we could see not only the cruise ships and other boats coming in and out of the harbour (near enough to see, but far enough not to hear any noise from them) but also the Britannia. Absolutely glorious sunrise and sunsets.
The friendly staff and free WiFi simply capped off a perfect place to stay.
