Hotel Details

Location

Less than 1 km from Edinburgh Castle and a 5-minute walk from the city centre, on a quiet New Town street.
Situated in the prestigious New Town, Hill Street offers a quiet residential feel while being within a 5-minute walk of Princes Street, George Street, and the city's main shopping and dining areas. Edinburgh Castle is less than 1 km away, and Waverley Railway Station is a 10-minute walk. The street itself is calm, but there is some street noise on lower floors on weekend nights. Proximity to bus and tram stops provides direct connections to the airport, while the Royal Mile and Old Town are a 15-minute walk.

Accommodation

Modern, spacious apartments with fully equipped kitchens, separate living areas, and private bathrooms.
Accommodation consists of one and two-bedroom self-catering apartments. Most feature a large open-plan living and dining room, a fully fitted kitchen with dishwasher, washing machine, and essential cookware, and carpeted bedrooms. Beds are consistently described as very comfortable. Some apartments include a sofa bed and balcony. The second bedroom in two-bedroom units can be compact with limited storage and may not be suitable for two adults. Deeper bathtubs are standard in many units, and toiletries are provided. Apartments are located on various floors; the building has no lift.

Wellness and Leisure

No on-site wellness or leisure facilities; the location is ideal for city sightseeing on foot.
There is no spa, swimming pool, or gym on the premises. The apartments are well suited for guests whose leisure plans focus on exploring Edinburgh's attractions, with Edinburgh Castle, the Royal Mile, and the city centre all within a short walk. The quiet New Town location is also excellent for relaxed evening strolls.

Facilities and Services

Free Wi-Fi, luggage storage, and key-code entry; paid parking nearby; no lift or airport shuttle.
Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the property. Luggage can be dropped off at the Destiny Scotland office at 85 Hanover Street before check-in.

Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Arrive at 15:00 for check-in and use the early luggage drop at the office on Thistle Street (85 Hanover Street) to explore the city centre hands-free.

  • 02

    Pre-book private parking (£20/day, reservation needed, a 5-10 minute walk away) well in advance as spaces are limited and not guaranteed.

  • 03

    Request a fan and a lower-floor apartment when booking if heat or stairs are a concern; the property has no lift and windows may not fully open.
