Why Book Direct with Ocean: Our Best Rate Guarantee
It is easy to assume the big booking sites give you the best deal. In practice, the best rate for an Ocean apartment in Edinburgh is the one you book with us directly. We guarantee it, and if you find a lower rate for Ocean Serviced Apartments elsewhere online, we will match it. Booking direct is simple, it saves you money, it avoids hidden fees, and it means you are dealing with the people who actually look after your apartment.
Four good reasons to book direct
1. Our best available rate, guaranteed
When you book direct, you get our best available rate. There is no mark-up and no middleman taking a cut, and we back it with a price-match promise: find a lower rate for Ocean online and we will match it. You are never better off booking us through a third party.
2. You deal with us, not a call centre
Book direct and you are talking to the team who run the apartments, not a booking platform. That matters when you have a question before you arrive, need to tweak a booking, or want advice on which apartment suits your trip. Requests, changes and special arrangements are far easier when there is no intermediary in the way. If you need anything, our contact page reaches us directly.
3. More flexibility on terms
Booking direct gives you a choice of cancellation policies and payment options at the time of booking, so you can pick terms that suit how firm your plans are. The details are on our cancellation policy FAQ, and our payment methods FAQ covers how to pay. Third-party bookings often lock you into fixed, less forgiving terms.
4. The best long-stay value
Our Stay and Save discounts are at their best when you book direct: 10% off stays of 7 nights or more, 15% off 14 nights or more and 25% off 30 nights or more. For a longer trip, that is a significant saving on top of our best-rate promise. See the current tiers on the Stay and Save page, and keep an eye on our offers page for any seasonal deals.
What you get, whichever apartment you choose
Every Ocean apartment is a spacious two-bedroom, two-bathroom home with a full kitchen and an open-plan living area, complimentary underground parking, weekly housekeeping, soft linen and towels, super-fast WiFi and self check-in. You can see the full list on our facilities page and browse the layouts on our two-bedroom apartment page. Booking direct simply gets you all of that at the best price, on the terms that suit you.
