Searching/booking apartments

  • Why can’t I see the property that I want to book?

    The property may be unavailable for the time period that you are requesting or it may not be loaded as a preferred partner. Select alternative dates if you are flexible on travel dates or alternatively ask a Reservation Agent to check by clicking on the LIVE CHAT function from the home page.

  • How do I search for apartments near my office?

    If booking for yourself, select book apartment and input the postcode in the location box and select search. Preferred properties will always show first, and if there is availability apartment options closest to your searched postcode will be displayed. You can also use the distance filter on the left hand side to increase or decrease the area you are searching.

  • How can I tell the properties available are within my company's policy?

    If the property is labelled 'policy' with a green tick, then the property is bookable within your company's travel policy.

  • How do I select an apartment with a washing machine?

    When searching for apartments, select SHOW MORE. Underneath the apartment type, look for a tick for washing machine or washer/dryer. If the building has communal laundry facilities, this will be displayed in the amenities tab to the far right.

  • Can I view apartments that are within a specific price range?

    Select BOOK APARTMENT or MY TRAVELLERS and initiate a search. Once search results appear you can filter your results by price range, property name, distance and rating.

  • Can I view pictures of the apartment before I book?

    When searching for apartments, select SHOW MORE from the search results. Click on the images tab which will display a gallery of apartment images. Note the images will be indicative of the apartment offered and may not be the specific apartment you are allocated.

  • Which rate should I choose?

    From the search results you will be able to see a CORPORATE BAR rate as well as a preferred negotiated rate, if agreed with edyn and is available. You can choose either of these options.

  • Why can I not see my companies preferred rate?

    On some occasions and during high demand periods company rates are sometimes unavailable. CORPORATE BAR rates will always remain available. Remember to check the cancellation terms for each rate plan.

  • Can I book for any length of stay?

    Yes, properties booked via the portal are typically available for a minimum of 1 night and a maximum of 365 nights unless otherwise stated.

  • What happens if I search a location and no properties show on the search results?

    If no results show when initiating a search, you will have the option to click SEND and a request will be sent to a Reservation specialist who can try to initiate a search offline.

  • Where can I see the VAT breakdown for my long stay booking?

    Once you have selected the property and room type, select SHOW RATES and you will be able to see the nightly rate and applicable VAT.

  • Where can I see any applicable City Tax?

    When search results are displayed, choose the property that you wish to book and select the DETAILS tab. If applicable, City Tax will be displayed here. 

    City Tax is typically payable locally and will not show in the rate breakdown.

  • How do I book an apartment that is pet friendly?

    After deciding on the apartment type that you wish to book, select the DETAILS tab to see if a property is pet friendly. 

    Based on your configuration set up you will be asked the question "will you be bringing a pet?". 

    If your answer yes to this question, this request will be processed offline and a member of our Reservations Team will contact you to advise on applicable charges.

  • How do I make a booking for a guest traveller?

    Select MY TRAVELLER from the Home Page and click on guest traveller -> Apartment. You will be directed to the location and apartment search page.

  • How do I make a booking for an employee whose profile is already loaded?

    Select MY TRAVELLER and search for the employee that you wish to make the booking for. Select apartment and this will take you to the location and apartment search page where you can start the booking journey.

  • The property I want to book is On Request, how do I confirm this option?

    On request properties are processed offline. A member of the Reservations Team will process your request and will contact you during business hours.

  • How do I add on car parking to my booking?

    Based on your configured set up, after selecting the apartment type and completing traveller information, you will be asked if car parking is required. 

    If you answer YES to this question, your enquiry will be taken offline and member of our Reservations Team will process the request offline.

    Remember to look at the details tab to see if the property has car parking.

  • How do I make an enquiry only?

    Select MY TRAVELLERS or BOOK APARTMENT and follow the same process as making a booking without confirming the booking. If the property is not available to book online then you can request a quote.
