An estimated 1,850,000 people attended the festivities in August 2009, leaving no stone unturned when it came to the Scottish capital's hotel industry. For the performers and those working behind the scenes that are returning this year, who had to settle for the confined space of a sub-standard hotel room previously, there is an excellent range of serviced apartments in Edinburgh available that are perfect for the festival's three week duration.

Edinburgh serviced apartments are, by virtue, far more suitable than the standard hotel for those who will be visiting the city for work during this world famous event. You'll find serviced apartments in the city centre, where the core of the festival is held, as well as within the quieter suburbs if you're looking for some respite from the crowds. Whilst rates for serviced apartments are, on average, cheaper than hotels (often by as much as 30%), those staying for the entire three week period are set to benefit even more, as rates for serviced apartments reduce the longer the guest is resident. Rates are also charged per apartment and not per person, as is the case with a hotel, ...
... which is perfect for those artists, event managers, directors and stage managers that are looking to share accommodation.

As is inevitable with any festival, food vendors are sure to charge exorbitant prices for the takeaways they serve. An Edinburgh serviced apartment circumvents the need to eat out or order room service with the inclusion of a kitchen or kitchenette that'll have a hob/stove, a fridge, microwave and cutlery. You are able to purchase your own groceries, cater to your specific dietary preferences and prepare meals just the way you like them whilst simultaneously reducing the overall cost of your stay. You'll also have a dining table to sit at within your Edinburgh serviced apartment so you will be able to sit in comfort and enjoy a quiet meal after a busy day of work. If your clothes or costumes need laundering, your serviced apartment will also have a washer/dryer, iron and ironing board so you are able to clean your own delicates without having to leave them in the hands of somebody else, whilst paying extortionate hotel charges for laundry.

Edinburgh serviced apartments offer more space too, with the inclusion of a living area or lounge. Guests will be able to practice their lines in peace, run through their routine or just relax after a long day on the job. Serviced apartments in Edinburgh are also usually housed within far smaller developments than hotels with less people coming and going, offering a quieter atmosphere that is often safer and more secure than a hotel. Most Edinburgh serviced apartment developments feature several apartments in the same place. Booking early for this year's festival will guarantee your company accommodation in the same location within far more comfortable surroundings.
