“Loved the Fountain Court Apartments Morrison”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 December 2008

We arrived at the Fountain Court Apartments Morrison in Edinburgh tired from a very long day of travelling.

Our train arrived very late in the evening so since there was no staff on site (which I knew in advance) we contacted the building's after-hours number to get instructions to how to get our keys.
The steps we needed to follow to get the keys were quite a task (which made me feel very comfortable about the security of the building) but did not involve us having to go anywhere but to our building to retrieve them.
When we got to the room we were very VERY happy. It was no ordinary 'hotel room' and nothing like what we had stayed in over the past few nights. It had all of the comforts of home and was very welcoming. Every little thing had been thought of... even down to dish soap, lightbulbs, flashlights, drying rack.

I had a little trouble figuring out the washing machine, but they have an on-call person that you can call to ask questions 24/7 about anything at all.
We loved the short walk to Edinburgh Castle and the Royal Mile, and found it wasn't too far to pick up some groceries or head to a local restaurant or pub.
All in all, it was a fantastic and comfortable place to stay.

Never a fun thing to take luggage up the stairs, but it wasn't terribly grueling.

  • Liked — cleanliness, spacious, location to city centre, in apartment amenities
  • Disliked — convenience stores in area close too early on weekdays

“Great Apartments, Not the best location in Edinburgh..”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 October 2008

the apartments are very well equipped, spacious and a great alternative to a cramped hotel room which could work out at twice the price. However, given the weather and such in Edinburgh, I think the location isnt the most central for site seeing and night life, although only 15 minute walk from top of Royal mile, it would have been nicer to have the hotel that bit nearer.

Our hotel deal did not include breakfast, but it was nice to be able to buy our own breakfast and cook there, which helps saves a few pound.

However, I did request an apartment above the first floor (given the previous reviews) but was not given one instead we were in the basement! however, although you can hear the trains below it is not a terrible nuisance and I wouldnt mind staying in the basement again as you get nice view of gardens!

There is an early check out time of 10:30am.

I would recomend the apartments to any traveller staying more than 1 night in Edinburgh, as they provide all facilities to make a comfortable stay but I do admit I prefer the luxury of hotel, (cooked breakfast in the morning etc..which is nice for a 1 night break) but at the price i paid 150euro for 2 nights I am more than delighted with the apartments and value for money in Edinburgh

  • Liked — Value for money, spaciousness of aprtment lounge, kitchen
  • Disliked — distance from tourist centre, trains underneath room although requested not to be in basement

“Superb Value, Excellent location”

These apartments were a perfect break from the cramped overpriced hotels we were staying at previously. These apartments were very clean, quite, and located in a great part of town. We enjoyed the easy access to the Royal Mile (10-15 min walk) and the Haymarket Station. The pub across the street, Carters, was a nice place to unwind after a days worth of walking and touring. The sandwich shop, Tram Stop, down the street near the Haymarket station proved be an excellent and cheap place to grab a bite to eat (try the split pea soup, it was devine). Overall these apartments are very nice, helpful staff (they are only around during the day), and clean. The washing machine was also key so that we could have a clean set of clothes for the rest of our trip. The complimentary bread, butter, milk and jam was the cherry on top of the icing on top of the wonderful place which is Fountain Court Apartments Morrison.

  • Liked — Having a kitchen and washing machine
  • Disliked — Staff only available during buisness hours

We were on a short trip to 3 cities in the UK and this was undoubtedly the best place we stayed in .

Good points:

A 10 minute walk from Princes street

Ambience - Good ,Friendly
Reception - Cozy
Rooms - Bright ,tastefully done,equipped with all the amenities required for a good stay
Most important - It gives you the privacy you need

Not so good points:
Since there is no lift, It is slightly difficult to carry luggage to the higher floors.

Bad points:
None

“4 stars sohuld be 5!!! but room location is all important”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 July 2008

As a seasoned business traveller I have stayed in many hotels - and this is definitely a superior choice.

very clean, very new, very well decorated, very comfortable

only downside - and this is not the apartments fault - is location with associated city centre noise -

GET A ROOM - AT THE BACK - WELL ABOVE GROUND FLOOR
for a perfectly quiet night sleep - the front of building is noisy with thoroughfare road/bars, bottom is above Haymarket railway line.

Given the above still HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

AAAAA+

  • Liked — cleanliness
