You're spoiled for sightseeing choice when staying in Edinburgh. Lauriston Castle is an ideal place to kick off here, but there are many other worthy attractions to explore. Edinburgh Castle, Murrayfield Stadium, and Edinburgh Playhouse Theatre are not far from the fortified complex and will round out your day nicely.

So convenient to the airport and bust travel downtown. Very comfortable room, great breakfast and options for food & drink later in the day. Love that there’s a hotel bus stop on the bus route!

Best Location across from Cathedral st Giles. In the heart of everything. This apartment has everything you need for a sightseeing stay. Can be noisy at night with crowds but if you choose to stay here you should expect it. My only suggestion is to replace the mattress. It feels worn and saggy. Joivy was a great company to work with. Quick to Respond to queries.

I had a wonderful stay at Six Brunton Place. From the moment I arrived, Hilary made me feel incredibly welcome, she’s a fantastic host with a warm, thoughtful approach that truly elevates the experience. The house itself is absolutely amazing: beautifully designed, spotless, and full of charm. Every detail feels carefully considered, creating a cosy and relaxing atmosphere. I couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. Highly recommended!
