The location is ideal for exploring Edinburgh on foot: Edinburgh Castle and the Royal Mile are a 15-minute walk, Holyrood Park is 10 minutes away, and the Edinburgh Playhouse and The Stand Comedy Club are 5 minutes away.

Accommodation

Some rooms are located on upper floors (no lift) and have characteristic sloping floors and sash windows. The building is a restored Georgian property, so rooms vary in size and layout. Beds are generally comfortable, though some have wheels and may shift. Windows in some rooms may not seal completely, allowing drafts, and walls can be thin so noise from neighbouring rooms may be heard. Heating is centrally controlled, with additional electric heaters available on request. Daily housekeeping is provided.

Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Use the tram from the airport (stop 1 minute walk) for a cheap and direct connection to the hotel.

  • 02

    Book a room with a private en-suite bathroom if shared facilities are not preferred; room types vary.

  • 03

    Plan meals elsewhere as the hotel does not serve breakfast or have a restaurant; numerous cafes are within a short walk.

  • 04

    Request a lower-floor room if stairs are a concern, as there is no lift and no ground-floor rooms.
