The aptly-named Gateway Apartments is a doorway to Leith and Edinburgh city centre, and is perfectly placed for exploring both. A 15-minute bus ride takes you to The Shore, Leith’s famous waterfront and the centre of its award-winning culinary scene. A short walk south takes you into the heart of the city, where you can indulge in a spot of retail therapy at St James’ Shopping Centre, get your cultural fix at Edinburgh Playhouse, or escape the hubbub in beautiful Regent Gardens.
Gateway Apartments is well-connected, with buses to all of the city’s campuses leaving from just outside the property. If you’re headed for University of Edinburgh, it’s often nicer to walk, as the route to class passes some of Edinburgh’s most iconic sights and takes just 18 minutes. The city centre is a 20-minute walk away, and there’s a range of restaurants, shops and supermarkets just outside your door.
After lectures, clear your head on your comfy double bed while catching up on your favourite show on your flatscreen TV. Make the most of the included unlimited high-speed Wi-Fi while researching for your latest paper in your private study area, or use it to stream music while you cook up a storm in your sleek, fully-fitted kitchen.
Head to the property’s communal study areas when you feel like bouncing ideas off your flatmates, or need to work on a group project. When you’re done, blow off steam in Gateway Apartments’ private gym, or relax in front of a movie at the onsite cinema. There are plenty of other onsite amenities, including a games room perfect for socialising in and a laundrette to take the hassle out of washing.
To help you feel at ease, Gateway Apartments provides round-the-clock security and operates a 24-hour helpline. You’ll be able to ask the onsite management team for guidance whenever you need it, while your all-inclusive room rate safeguards your valuables and wallet by providing paid contents insurance and utility bills.
