Ocean Serviced Apartments - Edinburgh

The Ocean Apartment in Edinburgh was a generally acceptable 2 bdrm apartment. Our group included my wife, our adult daughter and myself. We were disappointed to find that the second bedroom had two bunk beds that severaly cramped the space in the room and limited the enjoyment for our adult daughter. The living area and kitchen were comfortable and […] clean. The two bathrooms was a definite plus and the underground parking was vey convenient. The washing machine was pretty much useless as it took several hours to wash and dry a very small load of clothes. Since our days were spent in central Edinburgh we had to wash clothes overnight and the extremely slow process meant very disrupted sleep (a real downer during vacation). The location was not very convenient to central Edinburgh but since we had a car that was not a big factor for us. Read more

This place is great value for money. Modern, clean and a well-equiped kitchen. Only drawback is the distance from the centre of town - at least a 25-30 minute bus ride on the No. 10 to Princes.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Apartments were spacious with a great view of the Firth of Forth. Great to have a washer/dryer in the apartment. The only down side is it's in a construction zone and also pretty far from the tourist area (Royal Mile), so had to take buses or taxis; both of which were plentiful. The rates were lower due to location - especially as we were there during […] the very crowded annual Edinburgh International Festival. Read more

Fantastic stay in Edinburgh at Ocean Serviced Apartments. Great service by the concierge team, nice clean and comfy apartment. Will recommend to others... Thanks.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Great location overlooking the Leith waterfront and the Royal Yacht Britannia. Supermarket, cinema, restaurants and retail shopping a short distance away. Convenient links into the centre of Edinburgh. Apartment was clean, comfortable and spacious. Would certainly use again next time we spend a weekend in Edinburgh.

Good self catering apartments with hotel benefits of reception and cleaners. Across the road from the bus stop into Edinburgh. Underground car park

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We stayed here to visit our daughter. The apartment was very well equipped, clean tidy and fresh. Bus stop to city close by and a 24hr store close by. Excellent location if you don't want to be in the noisy city centre. Have already recommended these apartments to friends. Staff very helpful polite and professional. Well done!!

The customer service team were second to none, David, Leanne and Rachel were equally attentive and prompt in response, although we were particularly bowled over that late on our arrival evening, David actually came out in the rain to direct us to the garage! Further clarification and a better detailed map could be distributed to visitors as the postcode […] clearly does not work in a sat nav. Whilst the accommodation was superb, it was unfortunate the lift broke during our stay and for our party this was a huge inconvenience as a relative in a wheelchair was visiting, we were however offered a 'loan' apartment for their visit, which was appreciated although not needed as the lift was fixed on Boxing Day. On arrival, i was surprised that the rather large windows and doors were open and no key could be found to lock them. I asked that they be locked. My request was misunderstood and only the balcony was locked. The broken lift became an issue as both our boys became poorly, so could not manage the 6 flights of stairs to get some fresh air. But it was a great place to be stranded! As we were staying and cooking for 6 nights, i would have benefited from a detailed inventory of kitchen equipment before arrival, as the equipment really was insufficient. However, in the whole scheme of things, these issues became minor as we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to book again. Read more

I am new to the concept of serviced apartments and this was the best start. It is perfect for a family with 2 children like mine. I asked for a baby travel cot which was promptly provided. The apartment was modern and very clean, furnished to a very comfortable level. Slept very well indeed. The heaters were very effective - when Edinburgh was going […] through a very cold spell with temperatures dipping below zero - inside we were kept well toasty and comfy. Free secure underground carpark and internet wifi.... fantastic for the price - much better than any hotel alternative. If all serviced apartments were like this and at the price paid... I will always go for this kind of accommodation instead of a hotel room for a family holiday. Read more

This is the second time I have stayed here and I love my visits. the apartments are huge and fully equipped. It is like having your own pied-a-terre in Edinburgh. I had my family round for a full Christmas dinner. Staff are really helpful and friendly too. Can't fault the place. Looking forward to my next visit already!

We have no complaints about Ocean serviced apartments. The apartment was large and clean with all required amenities. Whilst a little out of the city centre (approx 4 miles) the redeveloped Leith dock area has a number of excellent options for eating and drinking including 2 michelin starred restaurants. There is a new supermarket next to the apartments […] that is very convenient if looking to self cater. Read more

Pristine condition, super comfy bed and beautiful linen, generous ensuite, fully equipped and very functional kitchen, separate lounge/ dining area with bay views looking across to the now retired royal yacht Brittania. Free underground, secure parking and free reliable wi-fi. Staff were absolutely superb, helping in every way possible and more during […] a medical emergency. Thank you so very much! We would certainly recommend this establishment and would most definitely stay here again if in Edinburgh. Read more

We had a great time in Ocean Serviced Apartments. The apartment was very clean, the kitchen had everything you need with beautiful views. The location was not the best, but they had a bus that would go to all main sights and run every 10 min. I recommend the apartment.

Apartment was much better than we expected for the price and we will be using it again

Have stayed here before and would thoroughly recommend, staff friendly and efficient, accommodation excellent, surroundings excellent, No 10 bus right across the road, Asda supermarket just 5 minutes walk away, Ocean Terminal across the water, apartment clean, modern and very cosy although balcony glass was broken upon our arrival. Kitchen amenities […] all at hand, nice bedrooms and bathroom, wisescreen tv in luxurious lounge with terrific views of Edinburgh. Read more

The suite was fantastic. So much bigger than we expected. Just like we were at home. It was perfect for our small children. It was great to have 2 large open bright bedrooms. The furniture/bedding was all very comfortable. We loved it and would definitely stay here and recommend it to anyone travelling to Edinburgh. Our only negative was the carpets […] had some stains, but I guess in fairness to hotel, they can't be washed after every stay. The suite itself was clean and the staff very helpful. Read more

A little outside city center but great view of loch. Easy bus service to center of town with hours that allow evening entertainment. It was a big relief to be able to shop close by and take a break from restaurant fare.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Perfect location to chill out with lots of space and full kitchen. It provides easy access to downtown with a public transit stop across the street.

We booked a one bedroom apartment and in fact got a two bedroom! This was very spacious, extremely well equipped and all in all lovely.

Suited our needs for a weekend in Edinburgh with my daugher and son in law and our 7 year old grandson

Genuine Expedia guest review

We booked the apartment as a celebration of our 30th Wedding Anniversary. My wife loves Edinburgh and wanted to see the underground city (a bit disappointed). The apartment block was a bit hard to find but has a big green sign out front. Apartments going for £175,000 to give you some idea of what to expect. Underground car park very safe, rooms and […] facilities very good and we were able to work at our pace. Needs a coat of paint but hey we weren’t looking at the walls as we overlooked the Royal Yacht Britannia which is great value for money. Read more

Really enjoyed our stay.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Arrived on early flight and tried to check in early at 9.00am (thought we had agreed 11.00am check in, but they had no record of it). Said they couldn't get a room ready at first, but as we were bringing our luggage in for storage until the official 3.00pm check in time, they managed to find us a newly cleaned apartment for immediate occupation. So […] top marks to them for quality of service. This part of Edinburgh has a local 24hr Asda store nearby, which was very useful. Read more

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

A really really good set up with a gret location. Flat was brilliant and nice and clean. Really good and cant recommend highly enough. Much better having a living room and kitchen rather than sitting on the edge of a hotel bed all day! Only thing not so impressive is the old tube TVs, get some flat screen TVs guys!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Positives: This is the first time we stayed in serviced apartments instead of a hotel, and to my suprise, we found this concept much better than staying in a hotel. Our apartment was neatly done when we entered and we were pleased with the room size and layout. 24 hour ASDA is just 10 minute walk away which is quite handy and the bus stop with services […] every 10 minutes to the city centre is just a 2 minute walk. Negatives: The only thing I can think of is the connection of wireless internet. There were no signals in our flat and on another note Ocean Apartments should provide a provision of fans especially during the very warm nights. Read more

Convenient for Edinbrugh if you do not mind using the bus service which is very good.The apartments arebecoming a bit run down and some proper maintenance would work wonders instead of using amateurs who do not know one end of a paintbrush from the other.Saying that the apartment was very roomy and more comfortable than a normal hotel roomand also it […] gives you the opportunity of preparing you own meals as I find that constantly eating out is not good for the waist line.I would use them again.

On cheking-in, we were made most welcome by the staff. We chose Ocean Apartments because of the mostly excellent reviews that we read on Hotels.com. However, we were disappointed with our apartment. We could have coped with the filthy black footmarks all over the lobby floor within the apartment, but it was actually in the living/kitchen area and again […] in the main bedroom. On the whole, this apartment was pretty grotty and not cleaned properly for the purpose of new guests. The reception staff were very nice and offered to move us to another apartment, but given the fact that we were out to a concert and would be back late and away early the next morning, there wasn't much point. The views were lovely - our apartment looked right on to the Royal Yacht and seeing Leith lit up at night was something else. Read more

I have to say how impressed I was with the service, set-up and comfort of my apartment. Excellent...will be looking forward to staying again the next time I am in Edinburgh

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

As above but with the addition that when I went to check out at half 9 (its a 10am check out!) there was no one there. I checked the times of reception and it was 8am to 8pm. I looked for sunday opeing and found it was the same. I called the emergency number again and no answer once more (!) Then just as I had found somewhere to leave my keys and assumed […] I would nerver see the copy of my passport or credit card again a man pull up in his car saying sorry he was late (by an hour and a half when he was the only guy working that morning). A group of us had to queue up to check out and lucky for me i found the number of a cab to get us to the airport on time. The room itself was great but like others have said do not like the idea of having towel and toliet roll limited when I am paying lots of money each night. As a suggestion I would also like them to put a clock in the living room as there were none anywhere. Also an alarm clock would be nice even though most people use their phones now I guess. One last problem the curtin rail broken in the bedroom through no fault of mine and I would have liked to have told the guy this on reception if they were a) open and b) on time for check out. I hope they do not plan on charging me for this! In summey I would say this was a great hotel and with a few tweeks could be made even better but they need better managment and to have reception open all night or at least have better plans in place. The hotel is also a fair distance from town but there is a good bus (number 10) which takes about 30 minutes to get into town. A cab will set you back £7 (bus is £1.20 each) and to get from the airport it is about £23. Read more

Vi overnattet 8 netter. Romservice betyr tømming av søppel de fleste dagene. Det var sepe og sjampoo lagt ut da vi kom men ble ikke etterfylt. Håndklær blir utskiftet bare ved lengre opphold enn 7 netter. Sengetøy blir ikke byttet. Wi-fi forbindelse kunne være ganske treg av og til. Lokalbuss like i nærhet går hver 10.min opp til sentrum.

Un hôtel très agréable pour une famille ou en couple, la proximité du centre commercial ASDA est très commode pour y faire ses courses alimentaires et la ligne de bus n°10 vous emmène directement au centre d'Edimbourg. Rien à redire en ce qui concerne le confort de l'hôtel. L'environnement y est très agréable.

Bättre än förväntat. Personalen i receptionen var väldigt hjälpsamma.

Pas enthousiasmant, trop loin du centre et trop cher par rapport à la prestation. Hotels de meme confort ou de confort supérieur dans le centre avec des prestations bien supérieures

Staff collaborativo, gentile e cordiale. Occhio agli orari della reception cioè dalle 8.00 alle 20.00. Unico neo, non so se è un caso o un'abitudine del luogo....nessuno scopino per il water....cosa piuttosto imbarazzante......

Hotellet ligger fantastisk lige ud til havnen i nybyggerområde. Ikke specielt smukt men med fantastisk udsigt. Dejligt efter en dag i byen, at kunne komme "hjem" til ro og frisk luft. Bus 10 kører næsten lige til døren. Beregn ca 35 min i myldretid. Stort supermarked 2 stoppesteder inden endestationen. Selve hotellet er noget nedslidt - hul i sofa, […] mangler maling m.m. men ikke i alarmerende dårlig tilstand. Køkkenet har kun udstyr til 4 personer, så der er gang i opvaskemaskinen. Uheldigt, ikke at kunne få at vide hvornår, der kom rengøring + skift af håndklæder. I følge opslag i lejligheden ville man f.eks.ikke få skiftet håndklæder eller andet. Det fik vi dog midt på ugen, og der blev også gjort rent 1 gang. Read more

Uudehko, tosin hieman "nopeasti kulutettu" hotelli Edinburghin satama-alueella. Kaikki alueen talot ovat uudehkoja ja alue on hyvin rauhallinen. Bussiyhteys (numero 10) kulkee kiitettävän tiheästi E:n keskustaan, joten kulkeminen lastenkin kanssa käy kätevästi. Huoneistoissa on hyvät keittomahdollisuudet, mutta kokolattiamattojen siisteys oli hieman […] arveluttava... Olimme kuitenkin oihan tyytyväisiä nelihenkisen perheen tarpeiden täyttymiseen. Read more

Ottima struttura, pulita e attrezzata. In periferia ma comodissimi e veloci i mezzi pubblici per raggiungere il centro( 10 minuti di autobus). Supermercato a 100 metri fornitissimo e aperto 24h su 24h.Appartamento con doppi servizi pulitissimi. Lo consiglio vivamente. Ideale per famiglie.

A great place to stay. However, the strict non-smoking policy should have been explained or stated clearly or taken into consideration when asked by prospective guests.
