Stay a little differently
Your own front door to Edinburgh.
A serviced apartment can make it easier to keep your routine while discovering somewhere new. Cooking facilities give you another option at mealtimes, and the right layout can give you room to unwind between days out.
Choose the exact apartment, not just the property name. Open-plan studios, separate bedrooms, kitchen equipment and housekeeping arrangements vary. A holiday home may offer a different level of service from an aparthotel.

Where should you stay in Edinburgh?
Think about the places you will visit most and the route back to your apartment. Edinburgh’s slopes, steps and historic streets make the exact address worth checking, especially with luggage or a pushchair.
Old Town & the Royal Mile
Consider for history-led sightseeing and time around the Royal Mile. Check the approach to the building: a short distance on the map may involve slopes or steps.
New Town & George Street
Consider for Georgian streets, shopping and dining. Eden Locke is on George Street; compare the exact location with your daily plans rather than assuming every central address offers the same journey.
St James Quarter & the east centre
Consider for shopping, dining and plans around the eastern city centre. Roomzzz is in St James Quarter; read its arrival instructions before setting off.
West End & Haymarket
Consider if your plans centre on this side of Edinburgh or arrivals through Haymarket. Check the walking route and current transport options to your main destinations.
Stockbridge
Consider for independent shops, cafés and a neighbourhood feel. Check the journey to your sightseeing or work plans, including the uphill return into the centre.
Grassmarket
Consider for an Old Town setting with shops, bars and restaurants. Ask about the apartment’s position and nearby evening activity if a quieter night matters to you.
Neighbourhood guidance is for planning. It does not mean every featured provider offers accommodation in each area.
Make it your kind of visit
Choose around the reason you are coming.
| Your plans | Prioritise | Before booking |
|---|---|---|
| A weekend for two | A location that fits your sightseeing and dining plans. | Studio layout, luggage storage and arrival times. |
| A family visit | The right bed arrangement and useful cooking facilities. | Maximum occupancy, cots, sofa beds and any additional guest fees. |
| Festivals, shows or celebrations | A practical route to your actual venues. | Confirm event dates, cancellation rules and late-night return options. |
| Work or a longer stay | A suitable commute, space to work and laundry provision. | Wi-Fi, housekeeping, included bills and extension terms. |
Planning around a festival or a special event?
Check the dates and venue locations before choosing your base. Compare the accommodation total for your actual stay, and read the cancellation terms carefully before committing to a non-refundable rate.
A few details make a big difference
Look beyond the postcode and nightly price.
The right apartment should work for the way you arrive, the things you want to do and the space you need when you come back.
- The full total: check taxes, any applicable visitor levy, cleaning fees and optional extras.
- Building access: confirm steps, lift access and the route to the apartment if you have mobility needs.
- Kitchen & laundry: check appliances and whether laundry is private, shared or chargeable.
- Room details: verify separate bedrooms, sofa beds and any balcony or view you want.
- Arrival & parking: read access instructions and check parking availability and cost if driving.
- Flexibility: compare cancellation, payment, deposit and amendment conditions.
Before you pack
Edinburgh serviced apartment FAQs
What is a serviced apartment?
It is furnished accommodation with cooking facilities and some services, such as housekeeping. An aparthotel usually adds hotel-style operations. Services and facilities vary, so check the individual apartment description.
Should I choose Old Town or New Town?
Choose around your plans. Old Town may appeal for historic streets and the Royal Mile; New Town offers Georgian architecture, shopping and dining. Compare the exact walking route to your main destinations, including any slopes or steps.
Can I book an apartment for a short Edinburgh break?
Some aparthotels offer short stays; other properties apply a minimum stay. Enter your dates on the provider’s website to see which options fit your visit.
Do all apartments have a separate bedroom?
No. Many studios combine the sleeping and living areas in one room. If privacy or separate sleeping space matters, select a category that explicitly includes a separate bedroom and confirm the guest capacity.
Can I book an apartment for Edinburgh’s festivals?
Search for your exact dates and confirm your venues before booking. Consider the route between the apartment and your events, arrival arrangements and cancellation conditions. This guide does not show live availability.
Are these properties close to Edinburgh Airport?
The featured aparthotels are central Edinburgh options, not airport properties. Check current transport and departure times if you have an early flight or a late arrival.
Are accessible or pet-friendly apartments available?
Options and policies vary. Ask the provider to confirm the exact room, access arrangements or pet terms before paying, including any fees. A property-level description may not cover every room category.
Do I book and pay through BRITARRIVE?
No. BRITARRIVE helps you explore accommodation options. Follow a link to the provider or booking platform to check availability, read the terms and complete your booking. Contact the company named on your confirmation for payments, changes and booking support.
