About this apartment rental

A bright two-bedroom apartment in Tron Square, a quiet, gated residential square tucked just off the Royal Mile in the heart of Edinburgh's Old Town. It sleeps four, sits a minute's walk from the Royal Mile and the Cowgate, and is a short walk from Waverley station. It's a rare city-centre base that's central without being on a busy street.

**A second-floor apartment overlooking the square**
The hallway leads into a spacious living and dining room with a large bow window looking over the square. Seating is arranged around the original fireplace, with a comfortable sofa and a leather sofa bed, and there's a large dining table if you'd rather eat in. Free wifi and central heating are included.

**Kitchen**
The compact kitchen off the living room has an electric oven and hob, a fridge freezer, a dishwasher, a washing machine, a microwave and a coffee maker, with plenty of crockery, glassware and cookware.

**Bedrooms and bathroom**
The main bedroom has a double bed, and the second bedroom has twin beds, so the apartment suits two couples, friends or a family of four. A family bathroom with a bath and shower over completes the apartment.

**At the centre of the Edinburgh Fringe**
In August, Tron Square puts you within a few minutes' walk of dozens of Festival and Fringe venues around the Royal Mile, the Cowgate and South Bridge. You can walk home late after shows and still sleep in a quiet square. The rest of the year, the Old Town's pubs, cafés, closes and attractions are right outside.

**Good to know**
The apartment is on the second floor.

There's no parking at the apartment.

A travel cot and high chair can be added when you book.

Pets aren't allowed.

Was just like they advertised

Highly recommended for Edinburgh festival. Walkable yet peaceful. Flat well equipped
10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2025
Tron Square was a super comfortable flat. We had a family of 4 and there was more than enough ammenities to keep us all happy. And the location can't be beat. Just a quick hike up the Close on the upper level and you are immediatly on the Royal Mile. The biggest hiccup was the quality of the beds. You can feel every spring. But other than that, we were super satisfied.
6 / 10Average·Sep 2025
The beds were uncomfortable. We could feel the coils in the mattress. The night light by the door stayed on all night and we were awoken by the loud noises for people leaving the bar. We ran out of toilet paper. Some extra throws on the living room would have made curling up on the couches cozier. Some face cloths would also have bee appreciated. The space was very clean and the location was fantastic.
