Hotel Details

Location

Located on a quiet street in Edinburgh's West End, less than 1 km from the International Conference Centre and 2 km from Edinburgh Castle.
The guest house is at 19 St Peter's Place, a central yet quiet residential street. It is a 15- to 20-minute walk from Edinburgh city centre, with many restaurants and takeaways within a 5-minute walk. Edinburgh Castle is 2 km away. The location is well served by bus routes - buses to the city centre run frequently, and the nearest tram stop (Haymarket) is about 15 minutes on foot. Parking on the street is £3.90 per hour during daytime (free 6pm-8am) and a large public car park is 300 metres away. Edinburgh Airport is 4 km away, reachable via a 17-minute drive or a 35-minute airport express bus ride.

Accommodation

Double rooms with private bathrooms, tea/coffee maker, minibar, soundproofing, and garden or street views. Some rooms feature a hot tub or spa bath.
All rooms are double rooms with private bathrooms (walk-in shower, hairdryer, slippers/toiletries). Bedding is hypoallergenic. Rooms vary in size and layout - some are described as compact, while others are more spacious. Many rooms have soundproof walls, a flat-screen TV, and a work desk. A few rooms offer a hot tub or a spa bath. Garden views are available in select rooms (e.g., Room 3). However, some rooms are on the lower ground floor or facing the street, which can mean less natural light and reduced privacy from passers-by. Noise between rooms can be noticeable due to macerator toilets and thin walls. Street-facing rooms may also experience traffic noise. The room decor is described as modern and clean, though some units have been noted as needing maintenance. The property has six rooms, each with a different look.

Wellness and Leisure

Some rooms include a hot tub or spa bath. The property has a garden.
A hot tub is available in certain rooms, and some rooms also feature a spa bath. The shared garden is accessible for relaxation. The property is near the Union Canal and the Water of Leith, offering walking and cycling paths. For those interested in water activities, boating, kayaking, and canoeing are possible in the surrounding area.
