Hotel Details

Location

Located on the Royal Mile in the heart of Edinburgh, within a 4-minute walk of the National Museum of Scotland and Edinburgh Waverley station.
The apartment sits on the Royal Mile, placing Edinburgh Castle (16 min walk), Camera Obscura (600 m), The Real Mary's King Close (3 min walk), and Edinburgh Playhouse (13 min walk) all within easy walking distance. Edinburgh International Conference Centre is 19 minutes on foot, and Edinburgh Airport is 10 km away. The neighbourhood is safe and lined with restaurants and convenience stores within 0.5 km. The terrain is hilly - expect continuous uphill/downhill walking - but every major attraction is accessible on foot. Double-glazed windows and bedrooms facing an inner courtyard reduce street noise despite the bustling weekend crowds on the Royal Mile.

Accommodation

A basement apartment with two bedrooms (2 doubles or 1 double + 1 twin), a lounge with kitchenette, and a private bathroom with shower over bath.
The apartment offers two bedrooms, a living room, and a fully equipped kitchen with oven, microwave, stovetop, refrigerator, coffee machine, and tea/coffee facilities. The private bathroom includes a shower over bath, a hairdryer, and towels. Bedrooms have wardrobes for storage. Heating and double glazing are provided, with bedrooms facing an inner courtyard for a quiet sleep. The layout is compact (approx 44 m2) but practical for groups or families. Ironing facilities, a washing machine, and a TV are also included.

Dining

No restaurant or breakfast service on-site, but the fully equipped kitchen and many cafés and restaurants within a 5-minute walk make self-catering or eating out easy.
The apartment has no restaurant or breakfast option. The kitchen is well stocked with pans, utensils, sugar, tea, and coffee - ideal for preparing meals. Several dining options - Noodle'N'Ice, Ox184, The Carnivore, The Advocate, Mono Restaurant, Bella Italia Edinburgh Royal Mile, The Tron, and Civerinos - are all within 0.5 km. A bakery up the road sells pies. For a fuller breakfast, the many nearby cafés offer alternatives.

Leisure

No spa, pool, or gym on-site.
The property does not offer wellness or fitness facilities. Local water-based activities such as boating, kayaking, and canoeing are available in the surrounding area. The central location provides easy access to city landmarks and entertainment instead of on-site leisure amenities.
