How to find us in Edinburgh
IMPORTANT: Edinburgh Tramways Construction - Bus Diversions. From May 2010 Edinburgh Tramways preparation and construction currently affects the 23, 27 and 45 If arriving by TRAIN then as the lower part of the Mound will be CLOSED, the 23, 27 and 45 will divert via Waverley Bridge and re-join their route up the Mound at the West end of Market Street. The 23 and 27 during this period will stop on Waverley Bridge, right outside the Railway Station. We recommend this for onward journey to the Guest House during this period (noting the 27 is direct to outside our door, the 23 less than a minute away). During the day, one of these services should arrive every few minutes (though unlikely to be to timetable!), in the evening or on Sundays we would recommend a taxi to avoid waits of up to 25 minutes. A map of current bus diversions can be found on the Lothian Buses website Arriving by Car Despite, our central location, we can offer free parking in our own car park when reserved at the time of booking (normal charge £6 per day), this is limited, however, with only a small number of spaces available. There is now a wide zone of restricted parking around Edinburgh, stretching well into the suburbs. Some accommodation websites are still offering 'free on-street parking' - this no longer exists in Central Edinburgh. From the North (Stirling and Forth Road Bridge M90/M9/A90) Take the A90 right into the city centre, then take Lothian Road (A702) for half a mile to Tollcross, at the very top of the hill take the right-hand fork into Leven Street, one block further turn right again into Gilmore Place at the King's Theatre, the Valentine City Centre Guesthouse is immediately on your left.
From East & South (A1/A7/A68/A702) The route via the bypass is very easy! Take the city by-pass (A720) to the Lothianburn exit (between Dreghorn and Straiton exits), then the A702 for 3 miles down to Morningside and back up to Bruntsfield, after the sharp right bend that the road takes in Bruntsfield, the road drops back down on a left curve, through several pedestrian crossing lights to a junction with the King's Theatre to your right. Turn left here into Gilmore Place (The sign for Lochrin Buildings is more obvious; it's the same street!), the Valentine City Centre Guesthouse is immediately on your left. Arriving by Air Detailed information on your transport options can be found on our Edinburgh Airport page, which explains your various taxi and bus options.
Arriving by Rail or Coach An onward taxi is approximately £4-£5, buses as shown on the map from St Andrews Square or Princes' Street are £1.20 per person - exact change (Note that a day pass valid on all normal services is £3.00). See information above regarding 23 and 27 which have a bus stop right outside the Railway Station on Waverley Bridge from May 2010 during tramway construction.
