Hotel Details

Location

A 10-15 minute walk from the city centre, 800 metres from Edinburgh Festival Theatre and University of Edinburgh, 17 minutes on foot from Royal Mile.
The property sits on a quiet street close to bus stops and within a short walking distance of Edinburgh's main attractions, including the Royal Mile and Edinburgh Military Tattoo. Arthur's Seat is nearby, offering direct access to walking routes with city views. Edinburgh Airport is 12 km away. The surrounding area has a wide choice of cafés, restaurants, and a Sainsbury's supermarket within a few minutes' walk. Public transport links are excellent for reaching all parts of the city.

Accommodation

Compact rooms with a small double bed (120 x 190 cm), en-suite bathroom, desk, and storage. Studios add a private kitchen; shared-apartment rooms access communal kitchen/lounge.
Accommodation is basic student-style: rooms are functional but small, with minimal decor and limited floor space. The small double bed (120 cm wide) is best suited for one person or two who are comfortable sharing a narrow bed. Mattresses are firm with visible springs, which may affect comfort for lighter sleepers or longer stays. All rooms have a private en-suite shower room. Classic Ensuite rooms are part of a shared apartment (8-10 bedrooms) with a communal kitchen and lounge. Classic Studio apartments are larger and include a private kitchen with oven, microwave, fridge/freezer, kettle, toaster, and crockery. Twin Studio Apartments have two single beds. Noise travels between rooms and from corridors, especially from doors closing. Rooms with courtyard views may have noise from late-night use. Some rooms offer views of Arthur's Seat.

Wellness and Leisure

Free use of pool table and table tennis, board games, and a shared garden with BBQ facilities.
The shared lounge provides a pool table, table tennis, board games, and a seating area with flat-screen TV - suitable for relaxation and entertainment. A garden with outdoor furniture and BBQ equipment is available for use, with views of Arthur's Seat. There is also a games room with arcade-style facilities. These are simple, self-service amenities rather than hotel-style wellness offerings.

Facilities and Services

24-hour reception, free luggage storage, free WiFi, on-site laundry (charges apply), and a vending machine for drinks and snacks.
The 24-hour front desk provides key card access, parcel delivery, and security. Free luggage storage is available at reception for early arrivals or after check-out. Laundry facilities (washing machine £3.10, dryer £1.70) operate 24 hours a day. A vending machine offers drinks and snacks. The upper floors are served by a lift. The property is wheelchair accessible with grab rails, raised toilet, and lower sink in some bathrooms. Meeting/banquet facilities are available at no extra cost. A secure bike store is accessible via key card. There is no on-site parking.

Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Arrive after 16:00 for check-in; late arrivals after 23:00 can call the Service and Safety team 30 minutes in advance.

  • 02

    Request a room away from the courtyard and from main corridors to reduce noise from slamming doors and late-night activity.

  • 03

    Book a Twin Studio Apartment if two single beds are preferred; Classic Ensuite and Classic Studio rooms have only a small double bed (120 x 190 cm).

  • 04

    Use the 24-hour luggage storage for early arrivals or late departures to explore the city hands-free.
