Hotel Details

Location

Just off the Royal Mile and a 10-minute walk from Waverley Station, this Southside location places you within easy reach of Edinburgh Castle, Holyrood Palace, and Arthur's Seat.
The property sits in Edinburgh's vibrant Southside, a neighbourhood of Victorian architecture, leafy squares, independent shops, and budget-friendly cafes and restaurants. Edinburgh Waverley train station is a 10-minute walk away, and the airport is a 30-minute drive. Arthur's Seat, Edinburgh's most famous free attraction, is just a couple of minutes' walk. The Royal Mile, Edinburgh Castle (25-30 min walk or short bus ride), and Holyrood Palace are all within easy walking distance. Regular bus routes connect directly to the city centre. For motorists, the closest NCP car park is a 5-10 minute walk from reception.

Accommodation

Apartments range from compact open-plan studios to spacious superior apartments sleeping up to four, all with a fully equipped kitchen and private bathroom.
Each apartment features a kitchen with hob, combi oven/microwave, dishwasher, and cooking utensils. Compact studios have a 3/4 bed placed against one wall, making them more suitable for solo travellers. Superior apartments provide a standard double bed accessible from both sides and extra living space. Some apartments have a mezzanine bedroom layout, but this varies by unit and should be confirmed at booking. All apartments include a flat-screen TV, free Wi-Fi, hairdryer, iron and ironing board, safe, and tea/coffee making facilities. There are no ground-floor apartments, but a lift serves all floors. Rooms without balconies are standard.

Dining

The on-site Circa breakfast room serves a full Scottish breakfast and continental buffet, available for £14 per person.
Next door to the apartments, Circa offers a cooked full Scottish breakfast with bacon, sausage, eggs, and a continental buffet including pastries, cereals, and fruit. The breakfast room also features a pancake machine and can prepare porridge on request. Breakfast is available for an additional £14 per person and can be selected when booking. For other meals, each apartment has a fully equipped kitchen. Numerous supermarkets are within a 2-5 minute walk, and the Southside area offers a wide variety of budget-friendly restaurants and cafes.

Leisure

Free access to the University of Edinburgh's award-winning Pleasance Sports Complex with modern gym facilities is included.
The Pleasance Sports Complex offers a full range of cardio and resistance equipment, plus sports courts. The pass is provided free of charge for all apartment guests. Arthur's Seat, a short walk away, provides a natural outdoor workout with panoramic city views. There is no swimming pool or spa on site.

Amenities

Free Wi-Fi, 24-hour reception, luggage storage, on-site communal laundry (paid), and a lift to all floors are available.
Wi-Fi is free in all rooms. The 24-hour reception can store luggage before check-in or after checkout, and staff can assist with restaurant reservations and transport requests. Communal laundry facilities (Circuit Laundry) are available on site, accessible via an app or payment card. Bicycle rental is available for an additional charge. The property is non-smoking throughout and uses key card access for security. Pets are allowed on request for £30. Housekeeping is provided daily.

Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Book a superior apartment (not a compact studio) if you need a standard double bed with access from both sides.

  • 02

    Request room 104 or similar if you prefer a mezzanine layout with separate sleeping space.

  • 03

    Use the 24-hour reception for luggage storage if you arrive before 15:00 or after checkout at 11:00.

  • 04

    Reserve a discounted parking space at the NCP car park (5-10 min walk) via reception to secure the £18 per 24h rate.
