AVERON GUEST HOUSE, Edinburgh

The guest house is situated on a quiet street near the Union Canal, within a 10-minute walk of Edinburgh Castle and the Edinburgh International Conference Centre (EICC). Princess Street, the Royal Mile (15-20 min walk), and the main train stations - Waverley (2 km) and Haymarket (2 km) - are all easily reachable on foot or by bus (bus stop nearby). The Christmas markets are 2 km away, and Napier University is about 2 km from the property. A range of restaurants and pubs are within a 5-minute walk, including Tuk Tuk Indian Street Food (0.5 km) and The Counter (0.5 km). Edinburgh Airport is 8 km away and can be reached by bus or tram into the city centre. The surrounding area is safe and well-served by public transport.

Room types include single rooms (with a shared bathroom), double rooms, triple rooms (double + single bed), and family rooms (with 3 beds - one double and two singles). All rooms have carpeted floors, a TV with satellite channels, a private entrance, soundproof walls, a wardrobe, a tea and coffee maker, and heating. Private bathrooms include a shower and hairdryer. Some rooms are small - single rooms are especially compact - and have limited storage (no shelves in the bathroom, no dedicated luggage stand in some rooms). Rooms facing the front door or kitchen can be noisier, and floorboards between floors are a significant source of sound for light sleepers. The building is a historic Georgian townhouse, and the decor tends to be simple and dated but functional. Some rooms overlook a garden or clothes-drying area. Towels and bedding may feel old. Room cleaning happens only on request or after daily check-out, so dropping a note at reception is advised if daily servicing is needed.

Facilities include free Wi-Fi throughout, free private parking on site (no reservation needed, locked at night, CCTV monitored, height restriction for pickups with roof loads, accessible parking, EV charging). The parking is suitable for cars, vans, and motorbikes. Parking can be used from 7 am on the day of arrival until late on departure day (subject to availability). A 24-hour reception with express check-in/check-out and luggage storage is available. Cots are available at no extra charge. Safety features include 24-hour security, CCTV in common areas, smoke alarms, and key access. Accepted payment methods: American Express, Visa, Maestro, Solo, MasterCard. Room service is available, and housekeeping can be arranged on request. No pets are allowed.
