Hotel Details

Location

Situated in a highly rated area, within a short walk of Summerhall, and about 20 minutes on foot to Edinburgh city centre.
The property is across the road from Summerhall, a key festival venue, making it ideal for Edinburgh Fringe visitors. The city centre is reachable in a 15-20 minute walk through the Meadows park. The Airlink 100 bus from the airport stops at Princess Street, about a 15-minute walk away, with departures every 10 minutes. A nearby tram stop provides access to the city centre and airport. Numerous restaurants, cafés, and supermarkets are within a 5-minute walk. Parking is not available on site.

Accommodation

Private rooms in shared flats, designed for one person but sometimes sold as doubles - beds are 120 cm wide.
Rooms are compact and suited for budget-conscious travellers who need a private sleeping space. The bed is a small double (120 cm) and may feel cramped for two people or anyone over 1.8 m. Each room includes storage, a desk, and heating. Windows are limited in how far they can open. Some rooms face an internal courtyard where noise can carry. Sound insulation between internal rooms is minimal, and doors close loudly. Rooms on higher floors involve a walk-up; there is no lift.

Dining

No on-site restaurant or breakfast service. Each flat has a fully equipped shared kitchen for self-catering.
The property offers no meals. Each apartment has a shared kitchen with an oven, hob, fridge, and basic utensils. Simple tea and coffee are available from the reception area. The surrounding streets provide many cafés, pubs, and takeaway options within a few minutes' walk, including Korean, Chinese, and Vietnamese food. Supermarkets for groceries are also nearby.

Leisure

No dedicated wellness or leisure facilities are available on site.
The property does not have a pool, gym, spa, or similar amenities. Leisure relies on the shared kitchen and lounge area, the location near the Meadows park for outdoor activity, and easy walking access to city-centre attractions.

Amenities

Free Wi-Fi in rooms, free use of a shared washing machine, and a 24-hour reception for key services.
Wi-Fi is free and available in rooms, with a simple sign-on. A shared washing machine and laundry powder are available at no extra cost. Towels can be rented for £3 each. Luggage storage costs £5 per bag. The reception is staffed 24 hours at weekends and on-call at night during weekdays. A shared lounge/TV area is provided. Security features include 24-hour staff, CCTV, and fire alarms. The property is accessible only via stairs.

Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Book only if you are comfortable with a basic student-hall setup - shared bathrooms, small rooms, and minimal facilities.

  • 02

    Factor in the cost of towel rental (£3 each) and luggage storage (£5 per bag) when budgeting.

  • 03

    Request a lower floor if you have heavy luggage; the building has no lift.

  • 04

    Pack earplugs; internal noise from doors and other rooms is common. Reception can supply them.
