Hotel Details

Location

Gilmore Townhouse is less than 1 km from Edinburgh International Conference Centre and a 16-minute walk to Edinburgh Castle, with Edinburgh Waverley station 2 km away.
The guest house sits on a quiet residential street in Edinburgh's city area, putting the National Museum of Scotland and The Real Mary King's Close within easy walking distance. A Coop supermarket is located around the corner for supplies, and numerous restaurants are within a 5-minute walk, including Tuk Tuk Indian Street Food, Indaba, and The Blackbird. Edinburgh Airport is 10 km away, easily reachable by taxi or the tram service. The central location means most major sights are reachable on foot, though Waverley station is a 25-minute walk for onward rail connections.

Dining

The property does not offer breakfast, a restaurant, or a bar, but a fully equipped communal kitchen is available for self-catering.
A communal kitchen is accessible to all guests, containing two ovens, three microwaves, two toasters, a kettle, cookware, utensils, a washing machine, and a dryer. This makes it possible to prepare your own meals. Numerous restaurants are within a 2-minute walk, including Quick & Plenty Cafe, Tables, Akva, and Trenchtown, offering a variety of cuisines. A Coop supermarket is also nearby for groceries. There is no on-site dining service, so planning meals around self-catering or local eateries is necessary.

Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Choose a room with a private bathroom for dedicated use; shared bathroom facilities are not available.

  • 02

    Factor in a 15-20 minute walk to Edinburgh Castle or use local buses and trams from the nearby stops.

  • 03

    Arrive during check-in hours (15:00-21:00) to avoid late-check-in fees; contact the property directly if delayed.

  • 04

    Avoid booking if you require modern, well-maintained accommodation, as the property is described as dated and worn.
