The room was clean and the staff were friendly! You get so much more for the price you pay. Buses and trains were within walking distance as well.

The rooms are spotless, but the corridor from the elevator to the rooms has an extremely unpleasant smell and suffocating - no ventilation making it stuffy. Extremely modern and nicest ever place - Kitchen was missing kitchen towels and wash cloth etc. Family friendly Safe and lots of shops nearby - grocery store and a cinema , shopping mall at an arm length

The McEwan was a great place to stay! Great location, close to walk to things and also near two main bus routes and the Haymarket Station. The apartment was clean and comfortable. I would note that it did not have any papertowels, dish soap, or sponge like other apartments provide. When we arrived there was no one at the front desk but they arrived shortly after. There was not much orientation beyond getting the keys and them leading us to the apartment. No information was given regarding the free wifi. When we visited the desk the next morning staff were extremely helpful! They answered our questions and even alerted us to a brush fire up by Holyrood. This apartment was great for families.
