About

The Waverley Park Terrace Residence

The Waverley Park Terrace Residence is a 60 m² apartment set on Waverley Park Terrace, within a quiet neighbourhood that's still close to Edinburgh's main sights. Its position beside Holyrood Park puts Arthur's Seat on the doorstep, and the city centre is within easy reach on foot.

The apartment is set up for independent stays, with a kitchen stocked with cookware and utensils, a washing machine, ironing facilities, and tea and coffee equipment. With two bedrooms and a living area, it suits couples or small groups wanting more space than a hotel room.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Check-in window is after 16:00 — Guests cannot arrive before 4 PM, which may be inconvenient for early arrivals.
  • No pets allowed — The property does not permit pets, so travellers with animals need to look elsewhere.
  • Room rating slightly below service — The Rooms category scores 8.5, just a touch under the Service rating – a minor gap, not a criticism in reviews.
