Student Accommodation to Rent in Old Town

We currently have 0 student propertys available to rent in Old Town. Edinburgh's historic heart, stretching from the Castle down the Royal Mile to Holyrood Palace. The Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site characterised by dramatic medieval tenement buildings, cobbled closes, and a buzzing atmosphere year-round — amplified enormously during the August Festival season. Rental properties are predominantly one- and two-bedroom flats in converted historic buildings, many with stunning views over the city but limited storage and sometimes steep communal stairs. A few larger flats and townhouses exist around the Grassmarket and Cowgate. Expect to pay £900–£1,200 for a one-bed and £1,200–£1,600 for a two-bed — above the city average, reflecting the central location and tourist-area premium. Transport is exceptional: Waverley Station (mainline rail to Glasgow, London, and local services) is at the foot of the Royal Mile. Buses run in every direction from North Bridge, South Bridge, and the Mound. You can walk to virtually anywhere in the city centre within 15 minutes. Amenities are abundant but skew towards hospitality: restaurants, pubs, cafes, and tourist shops dominate the Royal Mile. For everyday shopping, you'll rely on Tesco Express on the Royal Mile or the larger supermarkets in neighbouring Newington and New Town. The Grassmarket has excellent independent restaurants, craft beer bars, and a Saturday farmers' market. The area suits: young professionals who want to be in the heart of the action, people working in the city centre who want a zero-commute, and anyone who thrives on Edinburgh's cultural scene. It's less suited to families (limited green space, steep hills, festival noise in August) or those who need a car (parking is very limited). Key landmarks: Edinburgh Castle, St Giles' Cathedral, the National Museum of Scotland, Holyrood Palace, Scottish Parliament, Grassmarket, Victoria Street, and the Fringe venues in August. Schools include Royal Mile Primary School.
