GAME of Thrones stars Kit Harington and Rose Leslie own a plush pad near a hotel housing 120 asylum seekers.<\/p>\n

The showbiz couple spent \u00a3660,000 on the flat<\/a> near Edinburgh<\/a> city centre six months after their 2018 wedding.<\/p>\n

The Learmonth Hotel on Learmonth Terrace in Edinburgh is home to asylum seekers<\/p>\n

Kit Harrington and Rose Leslie were married in Aberdeenshire in 2018<\/p>\n

The Learmonth Hotel is on Learmonth Terrace in Edinburgh<\/p>\n

It is close to the controversial Learmonth Hotel in the capital\u2019s West End which is being used as migrant accommodation.<\/p>\n

Kit, 38, who played Jon Snow in the hit fantasy series, has previously been involved in efforts to help asylum seekers<\/a> and refugees.<\/p>\n

And earlier this month, we told how residents in the upmarket West End area had supported Afghan families living there by donating cooking equipment.<\/p>\n

But some property owners are growing weary of the presence of groups of young men loitering outside the former Travelodge<\/a> over the last two years.<\/p>\n

It comes amid a rising number of immigration protests in Scotland<\/a> over the last month,<\/p>\n

One male resident insisted the men were \u201crespectful\u201d and said: \u201cI love that we\u2019ve done this.\u201d<\/p>\n

But he admitted: \u201cIt can be intimidating walking past when there\u2019s 30 young men standing outside having cigarettes\u201d.<\/p>\n

Another resident added: \u201cPeople need to be helped, genuinely. However, we get the constant smell of weed and stream of guys smoking cigarettes outside.\u201d<\/p>\n

Three years ago, Kit featured in a TV and radio campaign for the Disasters Emergency Committee to support Ukrainian refugees fleeing the country after the invasion by Russia.<\/p>\n

And in 2016, he took part in a UN video poem to highlight the plight of refugees globally.<\/p>\n

His Aberdeen-born wife Rose\u2019s dad Sebastian was one of two candidates to run for the Brexit<\/a> Party, the former title of migration critic Nigel Farage\u2019s Reform UK<\/a>, in Scotland<\/a> in 2019. He ultimately lost out.<\/p>\n

Hundreds have protested outside asylum hotels in Falkirk<\/a>, Aberdeen and Perth<\/a> recently.<\/p>\n

Another resident added: \u201cPeople need to be helped, genuinely. We get the constant smell of weed and stream of guys smoking cigarettes outside.\u201d<\/p>\n
