Edinburgh Quay is designed over six floors, with some of the central apartments overlooking the beautifully regenerated EQ canal basin. This cool urban setting is home to smart apartments and equally stylish bars and restaurants; from here to the heart of the city is a matter of minutes. These are truly lovely city centre apartments; choose from a 1, 2 or 3 bedroom apartment. Inside, you'll find Italian designer furniture, contemporary fabrics and fully controllable central heating. Naturally, there's wireless broadband and a rather impressive entertainment system that includes an LCD cable television, superior CD player and TVs in the master and second bedrooms The open plan living spaces include a generous dining area and a kitchen equipped with the latest appliances; most master bedrooms have an ensuite shower room with hi-fi speaker. The bathrooms have a superb multi-position Grohe shower. From 1st October 2008, breakfast starter packs are available to order prior to arrival costing 5 per person per day. Please contact the apartments to make arrangements. Parking is available on a first come first served basis and costs 6 per day rising to 8 on 1st April 2010.

Area description
For business, for pleasure, our location could hardly be bettered. With its pretty setting on Union Canal, the peaceful surroundings at EQ2 belie its location in the heart of the city. For those here to work, you'll find many of Edinburgh's biggest companies are within walking distance, including those based in the city's major financial district The Exchange. The Edinburgh International Conference Center is five minutes away. If you're lucky enough to be coming to this beautiful city for a holiday, then EQ2 is handily placed for many of Edinburgh's tourist attractions. The Castle, sitting high above Princes Street, is 15 minutes walk away. Holy rood Palace is a further 15 minutes away, although a walk down the historic Royal Mile on the way is likely to detain you a little longer, thanks to its unique blend of history, bars, cafes, shops and street theatre.

everything needed was there!

A terrific apartment, with all that was needed for a stay... wonderful kitchen and bathroom facilities, and huge, comfortable beds. close to centre, and the fascination of the Union Canal. The entry was a little confusing, especially with having to enter from an alternate place to the reception.. overall Wonderful!

Great location/good price/helpful staff

Our experience at the Fountain Court Apts EQ2 was very pleasant. Our apartment was very lovely, modern, and clean. The location was great, very close to Old Town and within walking distance of just about everything. Several restaurants are right across the canal from the apartment complex, so very convenient. Our 2nd night in the apartment, we had a gas leak in the gas meter. The person in the reception office handled the situation very well, calling the gas company and moving us into another apartment for the remaining 3 nights of our stay. Overall, the experience was very nice and we would highly recommend this property to anyone traveling to Edinburgh, especially for a longer period of time.

Have stayed here several times

Have stayed here several times - it is a good base for business users. Can seem a bit off the track but in fact centrally located. The location is ideal for a city centre base - no traffic noise and very little pedestrian noise too. Very noisy early morning carpet cleaning in the hallway and being phoned up by reception 5 minutes after the due checkout (making me go back into room I was exiting) were only two niggles. They seem to have stopped leaving breakfast items in the fridge - no great hardship as there are several minmarkets nearby including a Sanisburys and Co-op. Pleasnat, reasonably kitted out, anonymous accomodation near Edinburgh city centre at a reasonable rate (for the UK).

Komfortables Wohnen in zentraler Lage

Modernes Appartment mit zwei Schlafzimmern. Küche war gut ausgestattet. Alle Geräte waren i.O.! Nur wenige Minuten zu Fuß und man war am Grasmarket oder auf der Princess Street. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.
