The Resident Edinburgh is on Drumsheugh Gardens, between Haymarket and the west end of Princes Street. Rooms have a fridge, a microwave and a coffee machine, so it suits you if you prefer to make your own breakfast or a simple meal when it suits you.
Location and getting around
Haymarket station is about a 10-minute walk away. Edinburgh Castle is about 15 minutes away.
Princes Street, by the Scott Monument, and the Grassmarket are about 20 minutes away, as is the Royal Mile. Allow about 25 minutes on foot to Waverley. The National Museum of Scotland and Calton Hill are further, at about 25 and 30 minutes, so for that part of the city a taxi may be worth it.
Rooms and facilities
Each room has air conditioning, a desk, a coffee machine, a fridge, a microwave, a safe, a flat-screen TV and a private bathroom with a shower. There is free Wi-Fi throughout the building and a shared lounge. The safe lets you leave your passport in the room while you explore the city.
According to the property, reception is open 24 hours. There is no sign of a restaurant: breakfast is up to you, with what you have in the room.
Who it suits
- A good fit if you keep irregular hours and want to eat something in your room.
