"Truly outstanding"
I have stayed in 5 star resorts in various countries and the majority of these could not match the Merchiston in terms of cleanliness. The style is lovely, nice small touches like roses in the lobby and mini cereal and milk in kitchen. The owner/s obviously take great pride in their establishment and this is so obvious the minute you walk through the door. I will definately be back and also make sure that I write a review on tripadvisor. Cheers Read less

Absolutely faultless.
Response from Merchiston Residence:
Thank you for your lovely review. Very pleased that you enjoyed your stay and delighted that you appreciated the small touches. We all do indeed take great care and pride in the apartments and look after them as we do our own homes. Hope you come back to stay with us again soon.

Response from Merchiston Residence:
Thank you for your review. I am pleased that you enjoyed your stay and certainly do hope you come back and stay again. Unfortunately, noisy guests happen from time to time and, although not ideal, difficult to monitor, however, this does not seem to be a regular problem which is positive!

"Faultless! 10 out of 10"
I loved my stay here. I loved it so much I returned the following week (wish I knew about it earlier). Accommodation is in a good location. The apartment was extremely clean and beautifully furnished. Absolutely faultless. Every little thing from washing liquid to a wide range of dvds were supplied. I cannot praise Merchiston Residence enough. The booking and check in process very easy and convenient. Friendly management- I emailed the manager and received a prompt and helpful reply. Read less

Response from Merchiston Residence:
Thank you so much for posting such a wonderful review. I am pleased that you enjoyed your initial stay and came back to stay once again and certainly hope you are able to return and stay with us again very soon.

"Beautifully designed, well equipped, clean, great location! What more could you need?"
Two mums from out of town, but familiar with the city. Booked to enjoy a spa day and visit our youngsters who live close by. Wanted freedom of access, to be able to do for ourselves when we wanted and a little luxury for a treat - got it all. Good value for money for our stay in March. Would have no hesitation in recommending or returning. Read less
Likes:
MR has a calm, relaxing, contemporary ambiance about it. Seems designed with care. Its location has great access to a wide choice of independent restaurants and shops in Bruntsfield and Morningside.
Dislikes:
Hard to find fault, being picky, found the heating awkward, didn't want to leave high all day when out but slow to heat place on return. Single glazing contributes and doesn't block traffic noise.
Response from Merchiston Residence:
Thank you for your lovely review - am very pleased that you both enjoyed your stay and the tranquility here at the apartments together with the fantastic amenities of the nearby Morningside and Bruntsfield areas!

Unfortunately, due to the building being Listed we are unable to do anything about the single glazing, the same as many properties in the city, although very pleased that it did not affect your stay!

Apt 4 & Apt 6 have king size beds in them for future reference.

Likes:
Very comfortable apartment. Safe and interesting area. Staff friendly.
Dislikes:
On the second night of our stay the family in the flat immediately above our flat proved to be a bit anti social. They came home, very noisily, around midnight and the noise continued until 1.15a.m.
Response from Merchiston Residence:
Thank you for your review. I am very pleased that you enjoyed your stay and imagine that the show was superb. I am sorry that there were noisy guests above you on the second night which is not ideal at all. Should you wish to come back and stag again in the future please contact me directly and I will ensure a better located apartment for you.
