Hotel Details

Location

The Broughton Townhouse sits in a quiet residential area of Edinburgh's New Town, a 12-minute walk from Waverley station and 9 minutes from the Royal Mile. Edinburgh Playhouse is 500 metres away.
Waverley station (1 km) provides direct rail and tram links to Edinburgh Airport (10 km). The Royal Mile and Edinburgh Castle (2 km) are easily reached on foot. The National Museum of Scotland is within 2 km, and the Edinburgh International Conference Centre is 3 km away. The neighbourhood offers an extensive choice of dining options, including The Barony, Olive Branch Bistro, and The Sicilian Restaurant, all about 0.5 km from the property. Bus stops and the tram line on Leith Walk provide convenient alternatives for car-free travel.
