Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Request early check-in at time of booking as it is subject to availability.

  • 02

    Use the nearby Waverley Station multi-storey car park (6-min walk, £22/24h) or NCP Holyrood Road (10-min walk, £24/24h) as the apartment has no parking.

  • 03

    Take the regular bus service right outside for a quick connection into town if walking from the Royal Mile feels too far with luggage.
