Hotel Details

Location

On Hanover Street in Edinburgh's New Town, 600 m from Edinburgh Castle, 7 minutes from Waverley Station, and 9 km from the airport.
The apartment sits on the edge of Princes Street, putting the National Gallery, Royal Mile, and dozens of shops and restaurants within a short walk. Tram and bus stops are just outside, making airport transfers straightforward without a car. The immediate area is lively day and night, with pubs, cafés, and supermarkets all within 0.5 km. Parking is not on-site - a reserved space is available at a nearby car park 5-10 minutes on foot.

Accommodation

Studio and 1-2 bedroom apartments with a private bathroom, fully equipped kitchen, washer/dryer, seating area, and city views.
Units are generally spacious and open-plan, featuring a double or king bed, parquet floors, a flat-screen TV with Netflix and YouTube, and a kitchen with hob, fridge, dishwasher, and all utensils. Heating is controllable via a thermostat. Some apartments have a separate en-suite bathroom plus a second bathroom. Rooms facing the street can be noisy due to traffic and nightlife; rear-facing units are quieter but may have constant noise from restaurant ventilation units. There is no lift, and apartments are on upper floors (typically 2-3 flights of stairs), which makes heavy luggage a challenge. Mattress comfort is a frequent point of concern - some travellers found the beds uncomfortable, while others described them as very comfortable. The apartments are modern and clean, with some units offering exceptional castle views.

Leisure

No on-site spa, pool, or gym; the apartment's central location provides easy access to Edinburgh's parks and leisure activities.
The property does not have wellness facilities. For outdoor activities, boating, kayaking, or canoeing can be arranged in the surrounding area. Edinburgh's parks and the Water of Leith walkway are within a 15-minute walk from the apartment. The location itself is ideal for walking to most city attractions.

Amenities

Free Wi-Fi, no on-site reception (access via door code), luggage storage at the main office, and paid off-site parking.
The property has 24-hour security with CCTV and smoke alarms, and a safety deposit box is available in each apartment. There is no on-site reception - check-in is via a code provided in advance, with office hours from 9:00 to 17:00. An after-hours phone number is available for urgent issues. Luggage storage is offered free of charge at the main office at 85 Hanover Street, which is open during office hours and can hold bags for early check-in or late departure. Daily housekeeping is not standard; the apartment is cleaned between stays. Laundry is made easy with a washer/dryer in each unit. The apartments are non-smoking and pets are not allowed. Accepted payment methods include American Express, Visa, and MasterCard. Parking is available off-site with reservation, costing £15-20 per day; the car park is a 5-10 minute walk away. For guests with mobility concerns, the lack of a lift and the stair access to upper floors should be carefully considered.
