Hotel Details

Location

Within a 15-minute walk of Edinburgh city centre, with excellent transport links via bus and tram.
The property sits in a convenient area around Pilrig Street, with bus routes 11, 25, and 49 stopping nearby, and the tram stop just a few minutes' walk away providing direct service to the airport. It's about a 20-minute stroll to Waverley Station and Princess Street. Several supermarkets, cafes, and restaurants (including Golden Ambal, Jiuding, and Vittoria on the Walk) are within 0.5 km. The area is generally quiet and safe for walking, with a slight incline towards the city centre.

Accommodation

En-suite rooms with small double beds (120 cm), each with a wardrobe and desk. Shared kitchens and living areas in apartment-style layouts.
Rooms are compact and functional: the bed is a small double (120 cm) with linen provided, which works well for one person but is tight for two - the headboard shelf can further reduce usable space. All rooms are en-suite and heated (no air conditioning; fans available from reception). Windows open only a crack, so rooms can become very warm with the sun. Soundproofing is minimal - thin walls and heavy fire doors mean noise from neighbouring rooms and corridors carries. The rooms have bright overhead lighting but no bedside lamps. Studio apartments add a kitchenette and TV; in shared apartment layouts, each flat includes a shared kitchen with cookware and a TV in the communal living area.

Dining

No on-site restaurant; breakfast is not available. Fully equipped shared kitchens are provided in each apartment for self-catering.
Each apartment cluster has a shared kitchen with pots, pans, cutlery, and a dishwasher, allowing guests to prepare their own meals. Vending machines for drinks and snacks are available in the building. The surrounding area has many takeaway and sit-down options within a short walk, including Indian, Chinese, Italian, and pastry shops on Leith Walk.

Wellness and Leisure

No pool or spa. A games room with pool tables, board games, and a TV is available on site.
The property offers a communal games room with pool tables, board games, and a TV, providing a casual social space. Walking tours are available for free as a local activity option.

Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Request a fan from reception as the rooms lack air conditioning and can overheat.

  • 02

    Book a single room if you are solo or a couple where sharing a 120cm small double bed is acceptable.

  • 03

    Use the nearby tram or bus stop for direct connections to the airport and city centre.
