"The rooms are well designed with convenience in mind- there were drawers that pulled out from under the bed for luggage storage and a little kitchen with basic cooking dishes, plates and even a little dishwasher."

"I stayed at Wilde Aparthotel in Edinburgh and honestly? It felt less like a hotel stay and more like I'd temporarily moved into my dream apartment."

The breakfast was tasty with scrumptious cookies. Other locations don't provide this service, so it was nice.
