KM HOTEL, Edinburgh

The hotel sits on a quiet street in the university area, offering easy access to attractions such as the Festival Theatre, Arthur's Seat, and the Meadows. Bus stops nearby connect to the airport and other city districts. No on-site parking, but a discounted NCP car park is a 5-10 minute walk away. The central location makes walking the primary way to get around, though noise from the rear courtyard's delivery and AC units can affect rooms at the back; rooms at the front tend to be quieter.

Each room includes a private bathroom, hairdryer, ironing facilities, and daily housekeeping. The property has no air conditioning and no lift - rooms are spread over four floors. Many rooms are small, with double beds placed against one wall and limited luggage space. Windows may not fully seal against noise or drafts, and rooms facing the rear courtyard can experience noise from supermarket deliveries and external fans. Roof windows in some rooms offer skyline views but may increase temperature swings. Travellers who prioritise a quiet sleep should consider requesting a room at the front of the building.

Breakfast is served in a dedicated dining space adjacent to the main hotel building and includes a variety of hot dishes such as scrambled eggs, bacon, sausages, and haggis, plus cold items like cereal, pastries, yoghurt, and fresh fruit. The hotel also has its own restaurant open for breakfast. Numerous cafes and restaurants - including Maki and Ramen Sushi Bar and The Mosque Kitchen - are within a 5-minute walk for additional dining options.

The gym offers standard fitness equipment. There is no spa or swimming pool on site. Bicycle rental is available at an additional charge for exploring the city.

The 24-hour front desk can store luggage before check-in and after check-out, making it easy to explore without bags. Daily housekeeping includes towel changes. Key card access ensures security. Pets are allowed on request: a dog package is available for £30 per 7 nights (additional £30 for longer stays), and pet bowls and baskets are provided. No on-site parking exists, but a discounted NCP car park is nearby. The hotel has no lift, so accessibility is limited for those with mobility issues.
