Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Book the private parking space in advance at £15 per day to avoid higher on-street or public car park charges.

  • 02

    Use the luggage storage if you arrive before check-in or leave after check-out to explore the Royal Mile hands-free.

  • 03

    Request a late check-out or early check-in as a special request when booking, as these are not guaranteed.

  • 04

    Plan for a walk uphill to Edinburgh Castle and city centre attractions; the 35 bus runs nearby for easier access.
