By Train, we have 2 stations in Edinburgh:

From Haymarket station, turn right at the exit and walk straight along Morrison Street.

Turn second on your left into Viewforth, walk up and turn in the fifth street on your right, which is Hartington Gardens, the Albyn is the last house at the end of the street. Estimated time by walk is 14/20 minutes according to google map, it is all up the hill!!! So you decide! Taxi 5 minutes about £8/10 pounds.

From Waverley

From the Waverley train station exit onto Princes Street and take either bus no. 11 or 16 (buy your ticket in the bus, card accepted) and get off at Bruntsfield Place. Walk to your left out of the bus, and head across the road to the Costa Coffee shop on the corner, turn on your right into Viewforth. Hartington Gardens is the 2nd street on the left, we are at house no.16 at the end of the street. I do not advise you to walk from Waverley station as it is quite far about 40 minutes! As you have to walk around the Castle hill. A taxi would cost you about £8.00 to £12.00 depending on traffic and time of day.

From Edinburgh Airport 2 solutions:

Take the bus airline 100(buy your ticket in the bus, card accepted) or the tram to Princes Street and take either bus no. 11 or 16 and get off at Bruntsfield Place/Viewforth (that is the full name of the stop). Walk to your left out of the bus, and head across the road to the Costa Coffee shop on the corner, turn on your right

Walk down into Viewforth. Hartington Gardens is the 2nd street on the left, we are at house no.16 at the end of the street.

I do not advise you to walk from Princes Street as it is quite far about 40 minutes! As you have to walk around the Castle hill. A taxi would cost you about £8.00 to £12.00 depending on traffic and time of day.

From the Albyn:

You can walk to the old town in 15/20 minutes, or you can take bus no: 23 it takes around 10 minutes.

Buses 11, 16 go to the New Town from here as well, as a rule of thumb the bus service stops around 11.45pm some are on a night service, we are located 2 minutes’ walk from the bus stop. At the minute a single fare is £2.00 (buy your ticket in the bus, card accepted) . Taxi would cost about £10/£12 pounds to the centre depending where you pick up and traffic.

Edinburgh is not very car friendly and guest houses with car parking are not very numerous.

In our street there is parking with pay and display (ticket) for £3.40 per hour for a 4 hour maximum stay at the time of writing.

If you wish to avoid this there are big underground public car park in Fountain Park cinema complex, Dundee Street, 7 minutes walk, at the time of writing 8/12 hours £15.00, please double check on their website.

There is free on street parking in Comiston road, which is a 5/10 minute car ride away and a 20/25 minutes walk back, it takes you out of the city where the boundaries of paid street parking have not yet reached. Otherwise buses 11 or 16 will bring you back to us in 5/10 minutes, buy your bus ticket on the bus, card accepted.
