Super Central Edinburgh Castle Basement - 2-Bedroom Apartment in a 5-Minute Walk to Edinburgh Castle
Spacious and Pet-Friendly
The Super Central Edinburgh Castle Basement offers a two-bedroom apartment that guests describe as enormous compared to other UK city properties. This pet-friendly accommodation welcomes furry companions and provides a home-away-from-home feel according to multiple guest reviews. The apartment sits at basement level and has a private entrance, with travellers noting the steep stairs down from ground level should be considered when carrying luggage.
Rooms and Amenities
The apartment has 2 bathrooms and extremely comfortable beds, with recent guests highlighting the brand new furniture throughout the property. A fully equipped kitchen includes a well-fitted layout with great appliances and a washing machine and dryer combination. Guests also have access to a games room, bathrobes, streaming services, and a selection of coffees, teas, and biscuits that travellers appreciated after long journeys.
Prime Location
The property is located a 5-minute walk from Edinburgh Castle and less than 1 km from the Royal Mile, placing guests within easy walking distance of the National Museum of Scotland and Edinburgh Waverley station. The apartment sits on a one-way street in New Town, which reduces traffic noise, with Princes Street a couple of minutes away where buses and trams are available. Edinburgh Airport is 9 km from the apartment, and guests report the tram line provides a direct link to and from the airport with ease.
Local Activities and Dining
The surrounding area offers boating, kayaking, and canoeing opportunities for outdoor enthusiasts. Guests staying at the apartment have easy access to nearby restaurants, grocery shops, and coffee houses within a few hundred feet, including the Bonnie Barista coffee shop that opens at 7:30 am. The Oxford Bar, well-known to Ian Rankin fans, is around the corner, with Christmas markets nearby for seasonal visitors.
Guest Services
The host Marco provides communication that guests describe as excellent, with clear instructions for smooth check-in and check-out processes. Recent travellers report the host let them check in earlier when the apartment was ready and acknowledged and rectified a heating issue the next morning. Guests appreciated a late check-out on request, with service that one couple described as "could not have been more helpful" and another group called "a pleasure to deal with."

“Stepping into this apartment, a true sense of ease washes over you, particularly with the thoughtful touches like a selection of teas and biscuits awaiting after a journey. Its position is remarkable, placing the city's vibrant pulse just a short walk away, yet a quiet street buffers it from the bustle. Everything within feels considered, from the comforting beds to the well-appointed kitchen, creating a genuinely home-like atmosphere.”
