Lantern Guest House

Edinburgh, Midlothian

Lantern Guest House is set up as 3 mini apartments, combining historic W.H. Playfair Georgian tradition with modern features such as pin code entry.

Situated on the south end of quiet Windsor Street which intersects with tree lined London Road.

Very close to the city centre hub around the Playhouse and Onmi Centre, between Princes Street (Waverley Rail Station) and Leith Walk (to the historic docks).

Panoramic views of Edinburgh can be gained by an ascent up close by Calton Hill.

Lantern Guest House especially suits a modern professional couple who appreciate the apartment style independent access via computerised key pads on the Lower Ground front door and their own guest room door. The thick walls enhance quietness between guest rooms. Windsor Street is astonishingly quiet, being so close to the city centre.

High speed 80/20 wifi enables our guests to efficiently explore in video what Edinburgh has to offer. We do not offer breakfast or other meals, rather we encourage you to enjoy the bountiful and varied cuisine within a quarter of a mile from Lantern House. There are also several retail outlets and cash machines close by.

We do have a selection of snacks available to travel weary guests and fresh milk is provided to enhance the hospitality tray (usually UHT milk) experience.

Lantern House is just 200 metres from the Playhouse and Omni Centre, the eastern hub of Edinburgh and a 10 minute walk from Waverley Rail Station.

W.H. Playfair's signature corner style residence with it's thick walls and castle like turrets (viewed from Room 3) enhances quietness within and around Lantern House.

We recognise the importance of sustaining the quality of cleanliness and comfort in our Guest Rooms.

A personal welcome can be provided by ringing the bell of Lantern House, or guests can opt to use their pin code to access the Lower Ground front door and their own guest room door.
