“The apartments stand out for their well-equipped facilities, making short or long stays particularly convenient, while housekeeping offers that extra touch of comfort. Though some ground-floor noise has been noted, most will appreciate the prime New Town location and responsive service. I especially like that you can drop off your keys early.”

Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Braid Apartments By Mansley are well-located, making it easy to walk to Princes Street for shopping and a short distance to the Royal Mile. Guests appreciate the spacious apartments equipped with comfortable beds, air conditioning, and the convenience of two bathrooms. The full kitchen with a washer/dryer is a real plus for many, allowing for lighter packing and cost-effective meal preparation, even though some guests have noted noise from the street due to bars and restaurants. Many guests also liked that fresh milk was provided upon arrival.

efficient staff luggage storage quiet room
The front desk staff greeted me warmly and efficiently. I appreciated their offer to store my luggage. My apartment had a sitting room, invaluable for relaxation before bed (it was very quiet there).
The 10 AM check-out felt a little early.
