Hotel Details

Location

Set in Edinburgh's Old Town centre, the property is a 3-minute walk from the National Museum of Scotland and 600 metres from Waverley Station.
Edinburgh Castle is 2 km away, and the Royal Mile is within easy walking distance. Edinburgh Playhouse and Arthurs Seat (2 km) are also accessible on foot. The Edinburgh International Conference Centre is 2 km from the flats. A Lidl supermarket is within walking distance for self-catering supplies. There is no on-site parking, so the excellent walkability and proximity to Waverley Station make car-free visits the most practical option. A busy pub operates downstairs, so noise from the street and bar should be expected, especially in the evenings.

Dining

Each apartment has a full kitchen for self-catering, and vending machines are available for drinks and snacks.
The kitchen includes a stovetop, refrigerator, oven, and essential cookware, allowing groups to prepare meals. A Lidl supermarket is within walking distance for groceries. Several restaurants and cafes, including Yocoko Noodle Bar, Roti, and Caffe Nero, are all about 0.5 km from the property. A vending machine offering drinks and snacks is available on site. There is no on-site restaurant or bar; the property's own dining offering is limited to self-catering facilities and vending machines.

Leisure

The property does not have a pool, spa, or gym, but central Edinburgh attractions are on the doorstep.
Leisure activities such as boating, kayaking, and canoeing are available in the surrounding area. For on-site relaxation, there are no wellness or fitness facilities. The property's primary leisure value is its location in the historic Old Town, within walking distance of Edinburgh Castle, the National Museum of Scotland, and the Royal Mile.

Amenities

Free Wi-Fi is available throughout. The 24-hour reception offers luggage storage, key collection, and a helpful team.
Additional services include a vending machine for drinks and snacks, bicycle parking, laundry facilities available on site, and free toiletries provided in each bathroom. The reception desk is staffed 24 hours and can assist with luggage storage before check-in or after check-out. The building has key access and security intercom. No parking is available; the property is car-free. Staff are noted as friendly and responsive to requests, though maintenance issues such as broken fixtures and cleaning inconsistencies have been reported.

Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Book for groups that value separate single rooms over shared hostel dorms at a similar price.

  • 02

    Factor in noise from the nearby bar, creaky floors, and slamming fire doors - bring earplugs if you are a light sleeper.

  • 03

    Request a room away from street-level noise and confirm all fixtures (shower, toilet flush, window closure) work on arrival to avoid delays.
