Hotel Details

Location

Opposite the National Museum of Scotland, a 10-minute walk from Edinburgh Waverley Station and 15 minutes from Edinburgh Castle.
Set on Chambers Street in the Old Town, this location puts the Royal Mile, Grassmarket, Edinburgh Castle, The Real Mary King's Close, and Edinburgh Playhouse within a short walk. Edinburgh Waverley Station is a 10-minute walk away, and the airport is a 25-30 minute taxi ride, or reachable by tram/bus to Princes Street plus a 15-minute walk. The area is busy with restaurants and nightlife, which means street noise can carry into the evening. A bus stop is located nearby, and the University of Edinburgh and Edinburgh International Conference Centre are within walking distance for business visitors.

Accommodation

Nine apartments on the ground and first floor offering double beds, a private bathroom with a walk-in shower, and a well-equipped kitchen in each unit.
Room types include Deluxe Open Plan Apartments (with an integrated living/sleeping area) and Deluxe One-Bedroom Apartments (with a separate, closing door for the bedroom). All units come with a double bed, a private bathroom with a walk-in shower and free toiletries, and a kitchen with a stovetop, refrigerator, dishwasher, oven, and kitchenware. Additional features include parquet floors, a seating area with a flat-screen TV and streaming services, a washing machine, a tea and coffee maker, a hairdryer, and a wardrobe. Heating is via thermostats and underfloor heating in the bathroom; no air conditioning is available, but windows open. Bed sizes are double throughout. Some apartments are located directly above a nightclub, and noise from neighbours and the street is a known characteristic. The interior is modern and high-ceilinged, providing a bright and airy feel.

Leisure

No wellness facilities on site; the central location provides immediate access to Edinburgh's cultural and leisure attractions.
The property does not have a pool, spa, gym, or sauna. The primary leisure resource is the location itself - directly across from the National Museum of Scotland, with Edinburgh Castle, The Real Mary King's Close, and Arthurs Seat all within walking distance. Boating, kayaking, and canoeing are available in the surrounding area. For indoor relaxation, each apartment includes a TV with streaming services.

Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Request a Deluxe One-Bedroom Apartment if a separate bedroom with a closing door is required.

  • 02

    Arrange luggage storage via a city service (e.g., Radical Storage or Stasher), as on-site luggage storage is not available.

  • 03

    Factor in street noise when selecting the apartment; ground-floor and street-facing units can be affected by nightlife until late.

  • 04

    Plan for an alternative if uninterrupted hot water is critical, as the system may run out after approximately 10 minutes.
