Eden Locke

“Felt right at home”

One of the best hotels we've ever stayed at. The rooms were well laid out, nice and clean. Every member of the staff we met was polite and genuinely friendly. We would happily come back to stay here again the next time we visit Edinburgh.

“Right Location To Be In”

Eden Locke apartment gave us what we needed in a location that made all things accessible but gave us the freedom to do our own thing as a couple. It was clean and had required facilities, with polite service. Only problem was the firmer bed for my back.

“Nice and close-to-town”

This is a accommodation I strongly can recommend . It was modern, clean, affordable and close-to-town.

“Would give 2nd thoughts to staying at Eden Locke in the future”

Great Location and Friendly Staff, But Sleep and Comfort Were Major Issues!! We recently stayed at Eden Locke in Edinburgh and had mixed feelings about our experience. The positives first: the location is excellent and hard to beat for exploring Edinburgh. The property was clean, attractive, and the staff were consistently friendly and helpful throughout our stay. We also really appreciated the aparthotel setup. Having a small refrigerator and a compact washer/dryer was convenient, especially during a longer European trip. The room itself was a good size compared to many city-center hotels. Unfortunately, there were several issues that would make us think twice before staying again. The biggest problem was comfort. The bed and pillows were among the hardest we’ve ever experienced. We even requested additional pillows, including what we were told were the softer options, but they were still extremely firm and uncomfortable for side sleepers. After several nights, sleep quality became a significant issue. We were also assigned an accessible room (which may have been something I accidentally selected during booking without realizing). While I completely understand the importance of accessible accommodations, travelers should be aware that the bathroom felt quite clinical, with an open shower area, lightweight curtain that frequently blew against you while showering and leaked water all over the bathroom floor, a fold-down shower seat, low sink, toilet without a lid, which your knees reached the sink while sitting on toilet and emergency pull cords throughout the room and bathroom. Another disappointment was the lack of air conditioning. During mildly warm weather, the room became quite warm. There was a window that could be opened, but our room, along with many others facing the courtyard area, adjacent to a nightclub’s faux greenery wall/solarium roof area. In the evenings and overnight, cigarette smoke drifted directly into the room from the nightclub, making it difficult or impossible to keep the window open for fresh air. It was also very noisy coming from the nightclub- however our sound machine did work to cover the noise. Between the heat, smoke, and uncomfortable bed, we didn’t sleep well during our stay. Overall, Eden Locke offers a fantastic location, clean accommodations, helpful staff, and useful apartment-style amenities. However, the combination of the very firm bed, lack of air conditioning, and smoke entering through the window significantly affected our comfort and overall experience.
