Hotel Details

Location

Situated just off the Royal Mile in the heart of Edinburgh's Old Town, a 5-minute walk from Edinburgh Castle.
The property is a 10-minute walk from Waverley Station and only 300 metres from the Edinburgh Military Tattoo. Edinburgh Airport is 11 km away. The immediate area is packed with restaurants and pubs within a 300-metre radius, including Ondine, The Outsider, and Frankenstein Pub. The location is exceptionally central, making it a top choice for sightseeing. However, the building is on a busy main road above the Cowgate, a major nightlife area, meaning the area can be very noisy, particularly on lower floors and at the front of the building. The nearby streets offer easy walking access to Victoria Street, the Museum of Scotland, and Greyfriars Kirkyard.

Accommodation

A range of stylish 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom apartments with high ceilings, comfortable beds, and distinct views.
All apartments feature a well-stocked kitchen with a washing machine/tumble dryer, ironing facilities, a seating/dining area, and a satellite flat-screen TV. Each apartment has one bathroom; the 1-bedroom Castle View apartments have a bath, while other apartments have a shower over bath. The 2-bedroom apartments are located on the 3rd (top) floor and have slanted ceilings in some areas. The Superior 1-bedroom apartments are the same size as the standard 1-bedroom apartments but guarantee a Castle view. Apartment 7 (a 2-bedroom with Castle view) is also on the top floor. A cot is available on request. While the living areas are generally described as spacious, some bedrooms are noted as being on the smaller side. The apartments feature carpeted floors and high-quality furnishings. People sensitive to noise should note that single-glazed windows in some apartments mean road and nightlife noise can be significant until the early hours, especially on the first floor at the front of the building.

Dining

A self-catering setup with a well-equipped kitchen, surrounded by numerous dining options within a short walk.
The apartments are fully equipped for self-catering, with a full kitchen including a hob, oven, microwave, electric kettle, toaster, and cookware. A washing machine/tumble dryer and a limited supply of detergent are provided. There is a dining table within the living area. The building itself has no restaurant or bar, but its location means there is an extensive choice of dining and drinking venues immediately outside. These include an oyster bar, Italian, Scottish, and pub-style restaurants all within 300 metres. For those preferring a cooked breakfast or a full evening meal, the many nearby pubs and restaurants offer a range of options to suit different tastes and budgets.
