A Room in the City – West occupies a 19th-century building on Randolph Crescent. It is a small guesthouse with rooms that have a seating area and a high-pressure shower. It is a good fit if you are a couple and want to walk both to the castle and to the western end of Princes Street.
Location and getting around
Randolph Crescent is west of the centre, about a 15-minute walk from Edinburgh Castle, the Grassmarket and Haymarket station. The Scott Monument, St Giles’ Cathedral and Waverley station are about 20 minutes away. According to the property, the EICC conference centre is about a 10-minute walk. For Arthur’s Seat, 3.2 km away, the bus or a taxi is best.
Rooms and facilities
Rooms have a cable TV, a small seating area and a tea and coffee set. The bathroom has a high-pressure shower. There is free wifi throughout the building. Breakfast is not served: you only have the tea and coffee in the room, so you will need to find a café nearby.
Who it suits
- If you are a couple and want a room with somewhere to sit.
- If you mostly move around the western part: castle, Grassmarket and Haymarket.
- If you have a meeting or a conference at the EICC.
