Edinburgh’s Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Scotland’s most popular visitor destinations. The impressive Edinburgh Castle dominates the skyline, sitting high atop Castle Rock. The castle is home to Scotland’s Crown Jewels and the Stone of Destiny, and it offers breathtaking views across the city and surrounding countryside.

The Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh provides a beautiful green escape within the city, while the Palace of Holyroodhouse serves as the official residence of the British monarch in Scotland. Other nearby highlights include the Camera Obscura and World of Illusions, Holyrood Park, the Scottish National Gallery, and St Giles’ Cathedral.

Edinburgh Waverley Station is just a five-minute walk from the Old Town, and Haymarket Station is around two kilometres away. The area also offers a wide selection of cafés and restaurants, with The Dome being a popular spot for coffee or a light meal.

Transport links are convenient and close by. Waverley Station is just a ten-minute walk down Cockburn Street. Glasgow is about an hour away by train, and North Berwick is easily reachable if you want to explore the coast.

Many buses depart from North Bridge, taking you to various parts of Edinburgh. We recommend visiting Portobello, where you can relax by the sea or enjoy a paddle. It’s a refreshing contrast to the city’s bustle, with a lovely walk along the esplanade. You can purchase a day bus ticket and hop on and off as you please.

Edinburgh also has a tram system, which is currently being extended to reach Leith, making getting around the city even easier.

A quick note for guests: Edinburgh has introduced a visitor levy (city tax) on all bookings starting from the 24th of July 2026 onwards. This tax will be included in the accommodation price.

This property is a self-check-in property, and you will be requested to verify your identity before being able to check into the flat. You can check in any time of the day as long as you respect our standard check-in time (3 PM).

Also, we charge £50 for each set of lost keys (security keys may cost more). There may be an additional cost to replace the locks for security purposes. So, please keep your keys safe.

There is a zero-tolerance policy for smoking on the property. If our team discovers evidence that this rule has been breached (e.g., smoke smell, ashes, butts, etc.), we fully reserve the right to charge a minimum of £300 for the smoking fee.

We do not allow parties, large gatherings, loud noises, or outside guests. Should we receive sufficient evidence of such activity, we reserve the right to cancel your stay (without a refund) and may involve a security team to evict you. Any associated cost will be charged to you via your security deposit. Local authorities may also be present (if required).
