Merith House Hotel in Edinburgh overlooks the beautiful Leith Links Park (the first golf course).
All rooms are en-suite with LCD TVs (over 50 channels), tea/coffee making facilities, free Wi-Fi and complimentary sit-down continental breakfast.
The hotel boasts 14 en-suite bedrooms. All are comfortable and practical (room sizes vary) and are maintained daily. Front-facing rooms have lovely views over Leith Links Park where the original rules of golf were drawn up and played over five holes back in the 15th Century. We don't have a bar but there are many bars and restaurants, both trendy and traditional, within walking distance. Please note that our prices include continental breakfast in the breakfast room.
There is free on-street parking, with plenty of spaces always available.
We're approximately 1.3 miles from Princess Street, on a main bus route which takes approx 10 minutes with bus no.25 or 12. We make the perfect location for the tourist and the business traveller.
This is an excellent base for those who want to enjoy a more leisurely break. We benefit from having easy access to all of Edinburgh's major attractions; you can walk the Royal Mile from the Palace of Holyrood to Edinburgh Castle or visit the Royal Botanical Gardens, the Malt Whisky Heritage Centre, the Royal Yacht Britannia or perhaps enjoy a spot of shopping on Princes Street or Ocean Terminal.
If you enjoy the theatre Edinburgh has several venues including the Edinburgh Playhouse, or if you prefer the wide screen we are close to the cinema at the Omni Centre, Leith Walk and Vue at Ocean Terminal.
Portobello Beach is only a mile away, while Leith Waterworld and the Royal Commonwealth Pool are also close by.
You will be issued with a key to unlock our front door, giving you unrestricted access whatever time you return. At the same time, we observe a quiet policy after 11pm.
