Serviced apartments still available in Edinburgh for the Kaiser Chiefs

Monday, October 10th, 2011

Serviced apartments are still available in Edinburgh for the Kaiser Chiefs at the HMV Picture House next February 2012. Serviced apartments are becoming the popular alternative to the traditional hotel option, and would be ideal for anyone travelling to Edinburgh to see the Kaiser Chiefs play. Here at Serviced City Pads we have a wide range of serviced apartments in Edinburgh that could provide accommodation for your stay; click here to go to our website to see the options available.

The Kaiser Chiefs will be playing in Edinburgh next year, and serviced apartments are a great option for anyone who will be visiting the city during this period. The Kaiser Chiefs are one of the most beloved pop bands of the new millennium; the band specialises in ridiculously infectious pop music and the group have a great sense of humour that has endeared them to most people. The band first got everyone’s attention with their debut album “Employment” released in 2005. The singles from the album were all chart hits – there was “Every Day I Love You Less and Less”, “Modern Way”, and the huge hits “Oh My God” and “I Predict A Riot”. A measure of the band’s success is that their songs were covered by pop acts like Lily Allen, Girls Aloud and the Sugababes. The band’s success has continued with the follow up albums “Yours Truly, Angry Mob” in 2007, and 2008’s “Off With Their Heads”. The band will be touring hard to promote their fourth album “The Future is Medieval”, released this year, and the live shows should remind everyone just how many great pop songs the band now has in their locker. The band will be playing Edinburgh’s HMV Picture House on the 9th February 2012, and if you are lucky enough to be in attendance it should be a wonderful evening.

Serviced apartments are still available for the night that the Kaiser Chiefs will be playing Edinburgh in February 2012. More and more people are starting to choose serviced apartments over the usual hotel room. This is because serviced apartments offer much more space than a hotel. As well as the bedroom(s) and bathroom(s), the vast majority of serviced apartments have a lounge and dining area, as well as a kitchen. In a serviced apartment you can prepare your own meals and then sit down at the table to enjoy them. The lounge area also helps a serviced apartment to feel like a home away from home. To see the kind of serviced apartments that are available, why not visit the Edinburgh city page on the Serviced City Pads website – you can do so by clicking here.

If you will be coming to Edinburgh next February, either to see the Kaiser Chiefs or for anything else, you should consider serviced apartments for your stay.

Serviced apartments in Edinburgh for Jessie J at Usher Hall

Wednesday, September 7th, 2011

Jessie J will be playing Usher Hall in Edinburgh in October, and there are still serviced apartments available for that night. Serviced apartments are an increasingly popular option for people travelling around the UK, and if you will be coming to Edinburgh to see Jessie J at Usher Hall then they could be an ideal choice for accommodation. Contact us here at Serviced City Pads to see what options are available.
Serviced apartments are available for the night of 25th October 2011 when Jessie J will be playing Usher Hall in Edinburgh. Jessie J is a star on the rise, and the show at Edinburgh’s Usher Hall is a great chance to see her live. Jessie J first came to public attention with the single “Do It Like a Dude” which was a huge hit, only kept off the top spot by Bruno Mars’ “Grenade”. Despite the appearance of sudden stardom however, Jessie J (real name Jessica Cornish) had been pursuing a career in music for many years. She enrolled at the BRIT school at 16, and worked at her songwriting and performing. Initially, Jessie J struggled to forge a career as a solo artist, and instead began working as a songwriter for hire for other artists, such as Chris Brown and Miley Cyrus. Jessie was one of the songwriters behind Cyrus’ hit single “Party in the U.S.A.” which was a US number 1. Interestingly, Jessie J’s breakout hit single, “Do It Like a Dude” was initially another song that she wrote for another artist. Inspired by Rihanna’s “Rude Boy”, she wrote the song for Rihanna, only for her label to convince her that she should release the song herself. This she did, and she has never looked back. The follow up single, “Price Tag” featuring American rap star B.o.B, went in at number 1, and confirmed that Jessie J is one of the most exciting pop stars around at the moment. She triumphed at the BRIT awards in 2011, walking away with the Critic’s Choice award, and her debut album “Who You Are”, released in February 2011, saw critical acclaim and commercial success debuting at number 2 on the album chart and selling over 100,000 copies in its first week. The subsequent success of the next singles “Nobody’s Perfect” and “Who’s Laughing Now” have established Jessie J as a hitmaker, and her touring has built her reputation as a live performer. Anyone lucky enough to have a ticket for her show at Usher Hall in Edinburgh will see a pop star who should be around for a long time.
If you will be coming to Edinburgh to see Jessie J perform have you considered serviced apartments for accommodation for your visit? Serviced apartments are a great alternative to the usual hotel room – they can offer a home away from home and really help you to enjoy your stay. Serviced apartments typically have a lounge and dining area and a kitchen, allowing more space and comfort for guests. In Edinburgh, there are serviced apartments to suit everyone, from one bedroom apartments perfect for those travelling alone or couples, as well as larger apartments that can accommodate families and friends. You can see the options available through Serviced City Pads by visiting the Edinburgh city page on our website.

Visiting Edinburgh In Style

Friday, May 21st, 2010

Edinburgh is a popular city with residents and tourists alike with a wealth of history and culture for all. One of the most famous landmarks is the Edinburgh Castle, which stands on an extinct volcano towering above the city. Once the defender of Edinburgh it is now the host to the famous Edinburgh Military Tattoo which takes place annually. There are many other tourist attractions in Edinburgh such as the story of the mythical creature of Loch Ness. With all the places to see and activities for visitors it is essential to have comfortable accommodation in Edinburgh.

As many visitors will not have an existing knowledge of Edinburgh and the surrounding area it will be easier to book a room in a quality hotel near Edinburgh airport which is within travelling distance of the city centre. However, a good quality hotel will be expensive especially if there are a few members of your party to accommodate. An alternative to consider is an apartment which will work out to be considerably cheaper than multiple rooms in quality hotels near Edinburgh airport.

Serviced apartments in Edinburgh will have plenty of space to allow you some time to yourself as well as housing all members of your party in comfort and with privacy. Here at Serviced City Pads we have serviced apartments in Edinburgh that can accommodate any number of guests in a comfortable location in the city which makes travelling and sightseeing much easier for you.

An Alternative Choice Of Accommodation

Friday, May 21st, 2010

When visiting Edinburgh whether for business or pleasure it is instinctive to book a hotel to accommodate you for your stay. This is especially true when you are arriving by plane and the most convenient choice is the airport hotels in Edinburgh. Most people find hotels convenient and a relatively low cost option and don’t consider anything else.

Hotels in Edinburgh provide the basic necessities in a hotel room with very few extras, unless you are prepared to pay for a very high standard in a luxury hotel. These are few and far between as many people are looking for good standards at a low price, especially if they are travelling for a holiday or short break. Edinburgh hotels are usually quite noisy and busy places to spend time, especially at night time. Inconsiderate guests arriving at the hotel late at night, perhaps after spending the evening in town can be quite noisy and interrupt your rest. Whether you are on business or on holiday it is important to feel refreshed ready for the day ahead.

An apartment in the city is an alternative that should always be considered. Staying in serviced apartments in Edinburgh will allow privacy as well as peace and quiet so that you can recharge your batteries ready for a hectic day ahead. Locating an apartment that will provide luxury at a low cost is quite difficult but here at Serviced City Pads we have included all the essentials for a pleasant stay in Edinburgh as well as luxury to rival the airport hotels in Edinburgh.

Give Hotels Near Edinburgh Airport A Miss

Friday, February 26th, 2010

The Scottish capital is a delightful destination for a city break, and a great place in which to do business. If you need somewhere to stay while you’re here, there are plenty of hotels near Edinburgh airport and across the city.

The problem with hotels near Edinburgh airport, or indeed anywhere else, is that they confine you to staying in a single room, and you’re either limited to their dining times or face expensive restaurant bills.

Serviced apartments offer a real alternative to hotels near Edinburgh airport, and are actually cheaper, both because the accommodation costs less, especially over time, and because you can save money by making your own meals.

Not only that but you get a whole self-contained apartment to enjoy, rather than a single room. You won’t have to worry about cleaning, and you’ll find your bed already made up with clean sheets. Serviced apartments are kitted out with everything you need for your stay – from washing machines to DVD players and an Internet connection.

At Serviced City Pads, we have more than 100 fully furnished apartments in Edinburgh and nearby, and we’d be delighted to help you find one that’s perfect for you, whether you’re in town on business or taking a break in the area.

For larger groups, for example, the four-bedroomed Playhouse Apartments provide four star luxury in the heart of the city. Sleeping up to eight people, these excellent value properties cost under £200 a night for a weeknight stay. If you’re after somewhere smaller, choose our one-bedroomed apartment in Rodney Place from just £110 a night.

Visit our web site today and view our full selection of Edinburgh accommodation, all of it completed to an exceedingly high standard.

Get in touch today to discuss your needs further.
