Hotel Details

Location

The apartment sits on a quiet street in Edinburgh's Old Town, a 10-minute walk from Waverley Station and a 2-minute stroll to the Royal Mile.
Edinburgh Waverley railway station is less than 1 km away, giving direct national rail connections and airport tram access (10-minute walk to tram stop). The National Museum of Scotland, Edinburgh Castle, and Holyrood Palace are all within a 15-minute walk. The Royal Mile is a 2-minute walk, placing you at the historic heart of the city with restaurants, pubs, and shops immediately accessible. For airport travel, use the Airlink bus from Waverley Bridge (10-minute walk) or take a cab (approx. 30 minutes, £25-30). The surrounding area is walkable for all major attractions, and the quiet street ensures good sleep despite central location.

Dining

No restaurant or breakfast is available on-site, but the apartment has a fully equipped kitchen for self-catering.
The kitchen includes a stovetop, refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, washing machine, and a full set of cookware and utensils, plus a tea and coffee maker and a dining table with seating. Many restaurants and cafés are within a 5-minute walk, including The Kilderkin (0.5 km), Starbucks Canongate (0.5 km), Oink Scottish Hog Roast (0.5 km), and a variety of pubs and takeaway options along the Royal Mile. For a wider selection, Waverley Market food court is a 10-minute walk.

Wellness and Leisure

The apartment has no spa, pool, or gym, but the Old Town setting provides walking routes and nearby outdoor activities.
The property is well-positioned for hiking in Holyrood Park (10-minute walk) and Arthur's Seat, which offers panoramic city views. Cycling and golf are also accessible within a short distance. The lack of on-site leisure facilities means guests looking for a pool or spa should plan to use Holyrood Spa or a city-centre hotel's day spa.

Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Book early to secure the free on-site parking space, which is tight and has a height restriction - only smaller cars will fit.

  • 02

    Use the 10-minute walk to Waverley Station for car-free travel, as on-site parking is limited and pay-and-display is £4.10/hr.

  • 03

    Request a later check-out (purchasable at 50% of the day rate) if your departure is after 11:00 and no check-in follows.

  • 04

    Use the Calton Road footbridge from Waverley Station to reach the apartment in about 10 minutes, skipping packed streets.
