The Boutique B+B Edinburgh occupies a house with a historic facade on Rothesay Terrace, west of the centre. It has a hot breakfast, a cocktail bar and a period staircase in the entrance. It is a good fit if you arrive via Haymarket or travel as a couple and do not mind walking a little to the castle.
Location and getting around
Haymarket station is about a 10-minute walk away, so it suits you if you arrive by train. Edinburgh Castle is about 20 minutes on foot, as is the Grassmarket.
The Scott Monument, on Princes Street, is about 25 minutes away. The Palace of Holyroodhouse is already about 2.8 km away: for that end of the city, the bus or a taxi is best.
Rooms and facilities
Rooms have a tiled bathroom, a flat-screen TV with satellite channels and a tea and coffee tray. There is free wifi throughout the building.
A hot, traditional breakfast is served in a dining room with a wooden floor and a fireplace. In the evening, the bar offers cocktails, beers and wines.
