The Edinburgh Apartment Gradings

The grading system reflects the quality of the accommodation.  There are 4 grades: Budget, Standard, Premium and Delux and in general the higher the grade the higher the overall quality.  However regardless of grade all the apartments are required to meet the following criteria:

• High standard of cleanliness throughout
• Local information to help guests make the best of their stay
• Comfortable accommodation with a range of furniture to meet your needs
• Colour television
• Kitchen equipped to meet all essential requirements

Budget

Generally good overall quality of decor, furnishings and fixtures, which may be of a practical or older style. Beds of at least standard adult size (unless advertised otherwise). Space may be limited, particularly in bedrooms.  All equipment provided will work and be fit for purpose.

Standard

Quality of decor will demonstrate greater attention to co-ordination and practicality.  More spacious accommodation offering greater levels of comfort and freedom of movement, for example, access to both sides of double beds and each occupant provided with bedside table and lamp.  Wider range of appliances will be available, including microwave oven and dishwasher.

Premium

High level of comfort, decorated and furnished to a high standard.  Usually more spacious with very good quality furniture, soft furnishings, beds and flooring.  More extensive range of appliances, including washing machine and tumble dryer.

Delux

Excellent quality accommodation with a high specification evident in all areas.  Attention to detail shown in design with exemplary standards of care and maintenance.  Sleeping in designated bedrooms only, i.e., no sofa beds.  Full range of appliances and equipment, including freezer.
