Film & TV Production Accommodation in Edinburgh

Film and television production has grown fast in Edinburgh, with studio space in Leith and shoots taking place across the city and the wider region. Productions bring cast, crew and support teams who often need somewhere to stay for weeks or months at a time, with the space to live properly between long days on set. Ocean Serviced Apartments in Western Harbour, Leith, is well placed for exactly this, offering spacious, flexible, self-catering apartments a short distance from the studios and the Port of Leith.

Our apartments are fully furnished, with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a full kitchen and an open-plan living area, plus complimentary on-site parking, so cast and crew can rest, cook, do laundry and keep something like a normal routine during a demanding schedule. Whether you need a single apartment for a key crew member or several for a larger team, we can help.

Why productions choose serviced apartments for TV crew accommodation

Room to live, not just sleep. Shoot days are long. Coming back to a proper apartment with a living room, a kitchen and a separate bedroom, rather than a single hotel room, makes a real difference to how people recover and perform.

Flexibility for changing schedules. Production schedules move, and bookings need to move with them. Serviced apartments can be booked for the run of a shoot and extended when the schedule shifts, which is far easier than managing a block of hotel rooms.

Parking on site. Crews often need vehicles, and parking in Edinburgh is difficult and expensive. Our complimentary underground car park takes that problem off the table.

Space for a team. When several people are on the same production, apartments keep a team together with room to gather, eat and talk through the day, which hotels rarely allow. Our group accommodation options suit larger bookings.

Value over a long run. For multi-week and multi-month stays, apartments are better value than hotels, and the saving grows with our long-stay discounts.

Well placed for the studios and filming locations

Western Harbour sits on the Leith waterfront, close to the Port of Leith and the studio space that has made the area a hub for production. It is an easy base for work in and around Leith, with quick links across the city for shoots elsewhere. The number 11 bus and the tram reach the centre in around 20 to 30 minutes, and with parking on site, driving to locations further afield is straightforward. Our location page shows how the waterfront connects to the rest of Edinburgh and beyond.

The setting helps too. After a long day, a calm waterfront with the Firth of Forth on the doorstep is a better place to unwind than a busy city-centre street, and there is a large supermarket next door and the restaurants of Leith close by.

Long stays, handled properly

Productions rarely wrap on schedule, so flexibility matters. We are used to longer, evolving bookings and will do our best to keep a team in the same apartments throughout a shoot. Our Stay and Save discounts reward longer stays, with up to 25% off, as set out on our Stay and Save page, and our extended stays page covers how longer bookings work in practice. For business and production bookers, our corporate travel page has more on how we look after professional guests.
