Set in a Georgian townhouse about a ten-to-fifteen-minute walk from the city centre, No. 11 Boutique Hotel pairs period character with a private garden and an on-site restaurant and bar.
All rooms have free Wi-Fi and heated floors, and some come with a balcony overlooking the private garden. Room service, laundry and private bathrooms with complimentary toiletries round out the amenities.
Location & Transport
No. 11 sits on Brunswick Street, just off the top of Leith Walk, which keeps it close to the action while staying quieter and cheaper than the streets right beside Princes Street. Edinburgh Castle and Princes Street are around ten to fifteen minutes away on foot, and a good spread of bars, restaurants and delicatessens is within a short walk.
Rooms & Price
Rooms mix Georgian proportions with modern comforts like heated floors and Wi-Fi, and garden-facing balcony rooms are the ones to ask for. The real draw is the No. 11 Brasserie: light lunches, luxury afternoon teas and fine-dining dinners built on locally sourced ingredients, plus a renowned full-cooked breakfast with haggis and smoked bacon from a local butcher, with continental and vegetarian options too.
Who It Suits
Best for foodies and couples who want boutique character and a standout breakfast rather than a bare-bones budget room. The garden and brasserie make it feel like a small treat, while the location keeps the price sensible.
Practical Tips
- Request a garden-facing room with a balcony when you book.
- Do not skip the cooked breakfast; the haggis and local bacon are a highlight.
- Book the brasserie ahead for afternoon tea or dinner, as locals use it too.
- It is a ten-to-fifteen-minute walk to the Castle and Princes Street.
- Heated bathroom floors are a welcome touch in winter.
