Hotel Details

Location

Westfield Court is a 5-minute walk from Murrayfield Rugby Stadium, with bus routes 22 and 30 taking you to Princes Street in 10 minutes.
The apartment sits in a residential area with a Sainsbury's and Aldi a short walk away, plus several pubs and cafes within 0.5 km. Direct buses to the city centre run frequently from stops next to the building, making a car unnecessary for sightseeing. Edinburgh Airport is about 15 minutes by taxi, or accessible via tram from Murrayfield Stadium stop. While the immediate surroundings of the building can feel unkempt, the location itself is practical for events at Tynecastle or Murrayfield, and for self-catering stays with supermarket access. Haymarket Railway Station is a 7-minute drive.

Accommodation

The apartment offers 4 large bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a living room with city views, and a fully equipped kitchen.
All bedrooms have comfortable double beds and are spacious and quiet, with large windows letting in natural light. The living area includes a sofa and a flat-screen TV, but it is compact for a group of 8, with only one main sofa. The kitchen is fully fitted with a stovetop, refrigerator, dishwasher, kettle, toaster, and microwave, plus a dining table. Both bathrooms have showers, one also has a bath, with free toiletries provided. The apartment has central heating and is carpeted in bedrooms. While the interior is generally clean and comfortable, some furnishings are dated and the living room can feel small for large groups.

Dining

A continental breakfast is served from 8am to 11am, and the kitchen is available for self-catering.
Breakfast includes milk, cereals, tea and coffee - no cooked options are available. For other meals, the fully equipped kitchen with stovetop, fridge, dishwasher and utensils allows guests to prepare their own food. Nearby, several pubs and cafes are within a 5-minute walk, including Jessie Mays Bar & Kitchen, Cafe Presko, and The Balgreen Fryer, offering a variety of dining out options. Sainsbury's and Aldi are also close for grocery shopping.

Leisure

There is no dedicated wellness or leisure facility on site, but Murrayfield and the city attractions are nearby.
The property does not have a pool, spa, gym, or garden. Leisure is centred on the city itself: Murrayfield Rugby Stadium is a 5-minute walk, Edinburgh Zoo is under 3 km, and the city centre is 10 minutes by bus. The apartment has a shared lounge/TV area for relaxing after a day out.

Amenities

Free Wi-Fi and free on-street parking are available, plus luggage storage from 11am.
Wi-Fi is free throughout the apartment and reported as reliable. Free on-street parking is available but can be very tight on match days at nearby stadiums - arriving early or using public transport is advisable. The building has a lift from the ground to the 6th floor, then stairs to the 7th floor apartment. Pets are allowed on request (charges may apply). Luggage storage can be arranged from 11am depending on departures. The property accepts Visa and MasterCard. Cot beds are available on request.

Critical Operational Notes

  • Check-in is from 15:00, check-out by 10:00.

  • The building has stairs from the 6th to the 7th floor; the lift only serves floors 1-6.
  • Parking is free on the street but can be very difficult to find on match days at Tynecastle or Murrayfield.
  • No laundry machines are available in the apartment.

Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Choose this apartment for large groups needing ample space and direct city views from the seventh floor.

  • 02

    Use the free bus routes 22 and 30 from the nearby stop for a 10-minute ride to Princes Street, bypassing parking.

  • 03

    Factor in that parking on match days at nearby Tynecastle can be very limited despite free on-street spaces.

  • 04

    Request luggage storage from 11am if arriving before the 3pm check-in to explore without bags.
