Standing around 500 metres from the combined National Museum of Scotland, the 3-star modern Km Hotel Edinburgh enjoys a central location in the centre of Edinburgh. Staying active is easy with a sports complex available for guests at this Edinburgh hotel.

Situated nearly 5 minutes' walk from the award winning Surgeons' Hall Museums, the hotel is within a few blocks of The Writers' Museum. Besides, Usher Hall is just 1.8 km away.

There is the Royal Mile a mere 13 minutes' walk away.

The property provides access to Edinburgh Waverley train station, which is 850 metres away.

The 45 rooms at the hotel comprise a dining area. Bathrooms feature a walk-in shower and a separate toilet, along with comforts such as hair dryers and towels.

“In my opinion, This hotel appeals to travelers prioritizing location and value. The proximity to Edinburgh's main attractions, including the Royal Mile, is a definite advantage, enhanced by the clean, modern rooms. However, I think that guests should consider potential noise and the absence of elevators when choosing their accommodations.”

Solid Choice for a City Break

modern room helpful staff sense of safety
The room was modern and clean. I also found a minibar with products available at the 24/7 reception. I got a few complimentary sweets in the room. The location was convenient for walking to attractions. The breakfast had a great selection. I enjoyed the friendly staff. They provided helpful service . The hotel offered a good sense of safety. I felt secure returning later at night. This was especially comforting after theatre trips.
My room had a very small and tall sink, uncomfortable to wash in.

cramped room constant noise
The room felt really cramped. I struggled to move around with my luggage. there was a constant noise in the inner courtyard. It came from air conditioning units in the adjacent building. The noise really bothered me during the night. It stopped me from sleeping well, even with the window closed.
