APART BERNARD ROOMS, Edinburgh

The property sits on a main arterial road, placing guests within a 900-metre walk of the University of Edinburgh, 1 km from the National Museum of Scotland, and 2 km from Edinburgh Castle. Edinburgh Waverley station is an 18-minute walk away, and Edinburgh Airport is 10 km from the door. The immediate area is dense with shops, supermarkets (Sainsbury's is next door), and dining options. The main road provides direct bus routes into the city centre. Street-facing rooms may experience traffic and ambulance siren noise, but rooms at the back are quieter. Walkability is excellent for exploring the city on foot, and the setting is generally calm at night despite the central location.

The apartment contains six individual rooms arranged around a central hallway, sharing two bathrooms and a fully equipped kitchen. Room types include double, twin, triple, quadruple, and a large three-bedroom apartment with its own kitchen and two bathrooms. Each room provides an electric kettle, heating, and either a private or shared bathroom depending on the booking. The shared bathrooms are cleaned daily and described as well-maintained. Rooms vary in size and noise levels - larger rooms may face the street and are more exposed to external noise, while quieter rooms at the back have shutters and black-out curtains. Some rooms have windows that cannot be opened or are poorly sealed, and the central heating is always on, making rooms warm even in summer. The property is on the second floor with no lift, accessible only by a winding staircase.

Wi-Fi is free throughout the property, though reliability has been reported as inconsistent in some areas. Express self check-in is facilitated by a key box system with clear instructions, and check-in from 15:00 is standard. An invoice is provided upon request. Luggage storage is available before check-in and after check-out for a fee (e.g., £7 per bag per hour if kept beyond standard storage time). A surcharge of £10 applies for late check-out until 12:00, subject to availability. The property has smoke alarms, a fire extinguisher, and CCTV in common areas. The manager is on-site during daytime hours but not present overnight. The building is on the second floor with stairs only - no lift access.
