This was our second stay here and it continues to provide great value and facilities. Reception is manned 24/7.

All the previous reviews are spot on - lots of space, great fittings and good value. The area IS being redeveloped but that's not a problem. If you walk out of the apartments via the top of the canel then you are straight out onto Fountainbridge and then its a 5 min walk to the West end of Princes Street. Its a fantastic location if a group is in town for the rugby.

There is a Sainsburys on Morrison St (just north of Fountainbridge). Lots of restaurants on Grassmarket which is 5/10 mins walk

We had a problem with the bath - it was fixed straight away.

Would not consider staying anywhere else.

Myself and my girlfriend stayed for a week here. It was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. Staff were excellent, apartment was first class and they even left us breakfast! It is only about a 10 minute walk from Princes Street (I would recommend cutting through the Princes Street Gardens as this cuts out the hassle of waiting at pedestrian crossings). The only downside is that now we are spoiled and we wont be able to stay in any other accomodation without comparing it to our stay in EQ-2!

Our price included, brekfast,(bread,cereal,milk,yougurt,instant coffe,tea and sugar! ) WI-fi was also included,very exspensive soaps and shampoo in the showers,(Molton and Brown) We were upgraded to a two bedroom two bath, which was more than ample for the three of us, our daughter is only 3. Kingsized bed, nice furnishings, quiet with a friendly staff! Just a short walk to Edinburgh castle and Princes and George street. Be sure and eat at the Gourmet Burger Kitchen on Georges street, best hamburger we have had since we moved from the States to England! We would definitley stay here again!

Got a last minute booking to stay at EQ2 just before the festival season. It was modern, spacious, clean and warm, and excellent value for the time of year compared to other options in Edinburgh. Loved the bathroom with its Molton Brown toilettries! The rest was equally well appointed. Secure parking (6 GBP per day) was a plus. Although only a moderate stroll into the city, this is not a centrally located hotel, which is great if you need a bit of quiet.

The only minor problems were that it was a bit tricky to find if driving there (the entrance is around the corner of the building from a little back street) and thet the free wi-fi is not Mac compatible.

Would definitely stay here again.
