Fountain Court Royal Garden

We rented two apartments for 3 days. Let's start with the good. Location is perfect. Rooms facing the garden are quiet. Front desk staff are friendly (when they are there.) Sadly the quality of the apartments is definitely not four star. It's perhaps equivalent of a two star hotel. The beds are foam mattress and consequently very hard and uncomfortable. The decor and furniture is poor. The apartments have been renovated on the cheap and the workmanship is very poor. If the same people had done the tiling and flooring in my house I would make them do it again. The laminate floor laid over old floorboards bounce and creak extremely loudly, in some areas the boards have visible gaps. The windows and doors are flimsy and dirty. The bathroom tiling is poor, and our two apartments had a number of broken fixtures. The courtyard looks nothing like the photo on the website (which is of a totally different development) and instead consists of some old picnic benches in a barren shady garden. There are very few good high end self catering options in Edinburgh and Sonder is yet another mediocre option. At £700/night for a 2 bed its poor value. A shame really as with better finishes and renovation it could be really good.

A spacious and well-appointed apartment. Beautifully quiet. Nicely heated during a frosty spell! Central to transport, the sights and shops. A big plus for this Sonder is the staffed reception. Professional and friendly people! Recommended.

We made our booking last minute and the team were so helpful and accomodating. Our room was stunning and absolutely what we needed. The location also made it super convenient for sight seeing, shopping and eating in the area. I couldn’t recommend this location more!

We statyed at the Sonder Royal Garden in Edinburgh and have to say it was amazing. The beds were comfortable, quite a surprise as many hotels beds and pillows are substandard. We had a 2bed/2 bath unit and it was superb, well equiped, clean and spacious. The location was ideal, central to all the sites of Edinburgh , shopping and food. I definitely recomened staying herewhen in Scotland, I know we will again for sure.

Fabulous apartment! Great location and facility is beautiful. Enjoyed Edinburgh will be back and will stay again. So so much to see and do. Could not fit all in in two days. Any staff that we encountered was more than helpful The balcony outside, looking down into the courtyard was amazing

Everything was perfectly clean and cozy, the mattress was very comfortable, the bathtub was a great size, the shampoo and conditioner were of excellent quality, the coffee maker and tea kit were wonderful!!! Excellent towels!!! Everything was impeccable!!! Perfect location! Near to excellent stores and restaurants!!!
