“a Five Star 4* Apartment!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 February 2011

I had decided to go away for a short break just before Christmas, so the conditions were pretty Arctic, that said, the Harris apartment was still only a short bus journey to get to from the main train station, and I doubt a taxi would of cost much, in fact once we got our luggage out the way we would walk into town to save our pennies for some scotch and haggis! Upon arrival we went to the reception to be checked in and were greeted by friendly staff, who then indicated the apartment was available for an early check in, this was only a couple of hours before but especially welcomed coming in from the heavy snow! The apartment was well equipped, and cleaned daily which I hadn't at all expected in a apartment so that was really going the extra mile in my opinion. This brings me nicely to my review score, I gave this apartment a 5 star review, but this is based on it being a 4 star establishment, which means it exceeded my expectations and not that you should expect a 5 star apartment for such an affordable price or that a bagpiper will be playing you a song on your arrival, what it is though, is - clean, decent, modern and ticks all the boxes in price, location, and service. You cant always check in early, so don't expect it, we're all human, and don't take a 9 hour coach journey from London at 11pm at night and expect to be checked in at 8am the next day like some poor fellow did in a earlier review. I would thoroughly recommend.

“Edinburgh is a great place to visit and Fountain Court is a great place to stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 December 2010

2nd stay at Harris - standard of accomodation is great, you will find most things needed for a short stay, easy to walk to Royal Mile and other attractions. If you're taking your car; parking is very secure but not located at Harris however its only a few minutes walk away. I've also stayed at the EQ2 apartments and they are great too. Highly recommended and in my opinion much better than a hotel especially if travelling with the family.

“Much better places to stay than here...............”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 September 2010

The ground floor 2 bed flat we were allocated over looked one of the main roads into/ out of Edinburgh.
We visted on a very warm weekend, there was no air con or fans. The flat was either swelteringly hot or, if you opened the windows, very very noisy with the windows open - from both the road and groups of people arriving back at the flats from 1.00 - 4.30 am and loud music.
We had wanted a double and twin when we arrived but the beds were made up into two doubles, Reception was very friendly & helpful and changed the beds without any problems. The bedrooms were small but flat was clean and fairly well equipped.
We've stayed in better, larger & quieter flats closer to the centre of the town.

“Home from Home”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 August 2010

I rented a one bedroom apartment to cope with an overspill of friends visiting Edinburgh and I couldn't fit everyone into my flat and we wanted somewhere local for people to stay. The apartment was immaculately clean, very well equipped kitchen with dish washer full sized oven and hob. The bathroom was lovely with an excellent shower over bath and complementary toiletries. The bedroom was very comfortable and there were speakers in the ceiling so you could listen to the music that was getting played in the living room. These apartments are along the street from the main reception but you felt safe as there was a code to get into the gate of the complex as well as locked downstairs door. Car parking was £8 a day along in the main complex along the road but this is cheaper than parking in the street - cost for that is £1 per 30 minutes. These are apartments are located pretty much in the centre of town. Its a 10 minute walk to Princes Street and a 5 minute walk to a selection of restaurants/bars. The staff were very friendly and helpful but did not bother you unless you had a problem. I intend to rent one of these apartments again if I have an overspill of visitors again. They are reasonable priced (unless during Festival, but everything goes up in price then) and feel like a home from home.

“So much easier than a hotel!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 June 2010

Service was great and professional - we ended up checking in early when we arrived on saturday noon. Great location and an easy 8 min walk to the castle. The room was perfect - very clean and modern with everything you need to just chill out. This is great if you have a group of friends because you can congregate in the living room - which is much more social than staying in separate hotels. We were very pleasantly surprised when we arrived to the beautiful apartment! Great value for the money!
