Hotel Details

Location

The apartment is a short walk from Edinburgh Waverley station and the Royal Mile, set close to Arthur's Seat and Holyrood.
Edinburgh Airport is 10 km away, and the property lies a short walk from Edinburgh Waverley station, making it practical for rail travellers. The Royal Mile, Edinburgh Castle, and the National Museum of Scotland are within easy walking distance. The immediate area is a residential estate; the building's stairwell has been described as dirty and odorous. Nearby streets may show signs of litter. Despite this, the location is quiet at night and offers quick access to city-centre attractions, with a playground just outside for families. On-street parking is available but limited to sign-posted rules.

Dining

The apartment features a fully equipped kitchen with stovetop, refrigerator, dishwasher, and kitchenware for self-catering. Several restaurants are within a 5-minute walk.
The kitchen includes a stovetop, refrigerator, dishwasher, kettle, toaster, and all necessary cookware and utensils. Tea and coffee making facilities are provided. Numerous dining options are within 0.3-0.5 km, including The Holyrood 9A, David Bann, and Hendersons Holyrood. There is no restaurant or bar on-site. Guests preferring full meal service will find a variety of cuisines nearby.

Leisure

The apartment is set near Arthur's Seat and Holyrood Park, with mountain and garden views and a playground directly outside.
The property overlooks a quiet inner courtyard with garden and mountain views, including a vista of Arthur's Seat and Edinburgh Castle. A playground is located just outside the building, making it suitable for children. Boating, kayaking, or canoeing are available in the surrounding area. The apartment itself has no pool, spa, gym, or on-site leisure facilities, but the natural surroundings provide ample outdoor activity opportunities.

Amenities

Free Wi-Fi, a fully equipped kitchen, washing machine, dryer, and free toiletries are provided. Pets are allowed at no extra charge.
Wi-Fi is available throughout the apartment at no charge. The property includes a washing machine and dryer for guest use. A cot can be provided upon request.
