WM Apartments

WM Apartments Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to WM Apartments on West Mayfield, you immediately get the sense that this isn’t your typical hotel setup. It’s actually more like staying in a proper Edinburgh flat — which, honestly, is exactly what makes it so appealing. The building has that classic Scottish stone facade you see throughout Edinburgh, but there’s something refreshingly understated about the whole place. No flashy signage or tourist-trap vibes, just a solid four-star property that feels like it belongs in the neighborhood.

Location & Getting Around

The Mayfield area is one of those spots that locals know but tourists often miss — and that’s actually a good thing. You’re close enough to the city center that everything’s accessible, but far enough out that you’re not dealing with the Royal Mile crowds every time you step outside. What really sold me on this place was the free parking situation. I mean, if you’ve ever tried to park in central Edinburgh, you know that’s basically worth its weight in gold. The fact that recent guests rated the location 9.3 makes total sense when you experience it firsthand.

The Apartment Experience

Here’s where WM Apartments really shines — you’re getting a proper apartment setup, not just a hotel room with a tiny kettle. The space I stayed in had a full kitchen (finally, somewhere to store those groceries from the local shops), and honestly, it felt like borrowing a friend’s place rather than checking into accommodation. The furnishings are modern without being sterile, and there’s actually enough storage space for more than just a weekend bag. You know what I appreciated most? The little touches that show someone’s actually thought about how people live, not just sleep.

Why Couples Love It

I can totally see why this place gets such high marks from couples — there’s something inherently romantic about having your own little Edinburgh hideaway. The apartments give you that cozy, intimate feeling you just can’t get in a standard hotel. You can actually cook breakfast together, spread out with a bottle of wine in the evening, or just enjoy having space to breathe. The neighborhood itself is perfect for those long walks that couples love, with plenty of quiet streets to explore and local pubs that feel authentically Scottish rather than touristy.

Why Guests Keep Coming Back

That 9.4 rating isn’t just a number — it reflects what happens when a property gets the fundamentals right without trying too hard. The combination of apartment-style living, genuine local atmosphere, and practical perks like the parking creates something that’s hard to find elsewhere in Edinburgh. It’s the kind of place where you can actually settle in for a few days and feel like you’re experiencing the city rather than just visiting it. Whether you’re here for a romantic getaway or just want a proper base for exploring Scotland, WM Apartments delivers exactly what it promises — no more, no less, but done really well.
