Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Location requires transport for some sights — About 1.6 km from the Royal Yacht Britannia and a bit farther from central Edinburgh; a car or public transport is handy for sightseeing.
- Limited room types — Only two- and three-bedroom apartments are listed, so solo or couple travellers may find fewer options.
- Check-in window is narrow — Check-in is only between 15:00 and 23:59, which may be inconvenient for late arrivals.
- No on-site restaurant or room service — The property has a coffee shop but no full dining options; guests need to use the kitchen or nearby restaurants.
