Spacious Serviced Apartments
Ocean Serviced Apartments offer two-bedroom, family, and executive apartments in Leith. Each apartment includes two bathrooms (one with a bath, one ensuite shower), a fully equipped kitchen, and an open-plan living area with floor-to-ceiling windows. Executive apartments feature a terraced balcony with views of Edinburgh and the Firth of Forth. Beds can be configured as super king or twin, with options for additional single beds in family units.
Self-Catering Convenience
The kitchens come with a fridge-freezer, dishwasher, microwave, stove, oven, toaster, and kettle. Basic kitchen essentials like plates, bowls, roasting dishes, and coffee makers are provided. Each apartment has a combined washer-dryer, iron, ironing board, and complimentary high-speed fiber internet. A welcome pack includes tea, coffee, milk pots, sugar, and cleaning supplies.
Leith's Waterfront Location
Located at 2 Western Harbour Midway, the apartments are three miles from Edinburgh's city center. The area features independent shops, bars, and restaurants, including Ocean Terminal with a cinema and dining options. Nearby landmarks include the Royal Yacht Britannia, Western Harbour Lighthouse (0.3 km), and Victoria Park (1 km). The number 11 bus connects directly to Princes Street, and the upcoming tram extension (Spring 2023) will link Leith and Newhaven to central Edinburgh.
Business & Family Amenities
Free underground parking is available, avoiding city center fees. Business travelers benefit from desks (on request), printing services, and 24-hour emergency support. Families can request cots and high chairs (free, first-come basis). Weekly housekeeping is included for stays over seven nights, with daily refreshes for shorter stays. Luggage storage is available during reception hours (Mon-Fri 9 AM-5 PM, Sat-Sun 10 AM-4 PM).
Strict Guest Policies
Unauthorized extensions incur a £250 fee. Tampering with fire alarms results in a £500 fine. Lost keys cost £30 per set. Non-emergency after-hours call-outs (e.g., lockouts) are charged £75. The apartments are not disability-friendly but have elevators and wide hallways. No pets, stag, or hen groups are allowed. Check-in requires advance arrangement with reception.
“These serviced apartments stand out for their spaciousness, particularly the well-configured two-bedroom options accommodating up to five. The location in a lively port district puts local shops and restaurants within easy reach. I found the inclusion of full kitchens and grocery delivery especially useful for families or longer stays.”

excellent apartment stay
easy accessresponsive supportdetailed manualsstained beddings
The apartment was very clean, with all amenities present. the location offered easy access to the city center via public transport, and parking was available. I found this beneficial! phone support was responsive. the provided manuals were detailed. They made the appliance operation simple.
i found the beddings to have some stains. the toilets took a long time to flush a second time, and the shower's hot water only lasted 40 minutes. the corridor sometimes smelled of cigarettes though the pizza smell was a nice change.

excellent stay in a spacious apartment
spacious hotelexcellent locationhelpful receptionistpoor quality hand soap
the hotel was spacious. the location proved excellent for visiting, especially with easy access to the big bus company at fisherman's square. the bus made trips into the city centre simple. the receptionist was helpful and promptly addressed email requests. we particularly appreciated the large fridge and freezer. the fifth-floor view was a bonus. the beds were also very comfy. the location was close to groceries and several restaurants. it was also great having two bathrooms.
The hand soap was poor quality, and there were no shampoo, shower gel, or moisturizer provided. We had to purchase our own.

The apartment featured two en-suite bedrooms. This was very convenient. a large, open-plan living and kitchen area included big windows letting in lots of light.
The check-in procedure was not user friendly. It took multiple long distance calls to figure out codes and entry.

the apartment was super clean. the arrangements for checking in and out were clear. the area is very nice with great views over the firth of forth. i am looking forward to staying again as it is an ideal venue for visiting family!
the staff walked into our apartment at 9.30am even though we were told to check out at 10am. we weren't even dressed up properly and a stranger just broke into the apartment, we were scared and nervous. it was a very unpleasant experience.

the location was very peaceful. (i enjoyed the calm surroundings!) the apartment was spacious, and it felt very clean upon arrival. the kitchen was well-equipped with everything needed for our stay.
the check-in process felt a bit complicated because of the lock box system. i found myself reading several emails to understand the instructions. the wi-fi signal was somewhat unreliable at times. the apartment showed signs of wear, such as stickers peeling off cupboards.
