Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • No on-site parking — The property does not list parking among its amenities, and given the central Grassmarket address, street parking is likely limited and may come at a cost.
  • Late check-out not available — Check-out is at 10:00, which may feel early for some guests, especially those on a leisurely schedule. Early check-in is mentioned positively in reviews, but the checkout window is fixed.
  • Potential street noise — While one reviewer found the bedroom quiet, the apartment is on Grassmarket, a lively area known for bars and restaurants. Light sleepers might still catch some ambient noise from the street.
  • No pets allowed — The property does not permit pets, so travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
