Great wee place to stay
Lovely quiet street. Even sleeping at the front there was beautiful peace and quiet. Room was wonderfully cosy on a cool November night and made you feel welcome.
Caroline, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Good value for money and great location
Very good value for money here. Beds was very comfortable and had everything you need in your room. Very close to a tram station where you can quickly get the tram into the main town centre in just a couple of stops making it very easy and convenient. The place did need a bit more of a through clean however, on the surface the room clean but it needed a good scrub in the shower especially, some very small mould marks to be wiped off the walls and the floor needed a good clean albeit I am a clean freak at home. Overall, I will return back to this hotel as I believe the value for money, location and comfort topped it.

4/10 Fair

Very noisy, wouldn't recommend room 7
We were in room 7. A double and single. Perfect for us. However, the room was very small, very warm and very noisy. Everytime someone flushed a toilet, ran a tap or had a shower it was super loud. There must be a waste water pipe in the room. Would not recommend
Careena, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Great location, restaurants nearby, close to tram. Price good. TV reception needs looking at BBC 1 & 2 non existent.
Alan, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A good quality bedroom and bathroom, in a warm, well presented building. The bedroom was not large but perfect for the 2 of us. We liked it and would book again. On Leith Walk a short walk away a range of interesting eateries. We chose Turkish. There was also Tai, Indian, Italian, and others. Took time for staff to open entrance door and a system to advise staff have heard bell and are coming would be helpful. Staff were very helpful.
Miles, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Well situated for what we needed.
Just a quick overnight before heading home to Canada. Well situated close to Tram so we didn't have to fight through the Royal Highland Show masses to get to the airport.
Jamie, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The property is walking distance from the station - 20 minutes. The main, near the accommodation has bars and restaurants. The room was functional and clean. I would stay again.

Lovely Stay!
Perfect stay in Edinburgh! Easy to check in and out and the hosts are very helpful and accommodating. Great if you need an easily accessible place to stay while touring Edinburgh. Very close to the tram/bus stops and in a quiet neighborhood!
Rebecca Cao, 1-night trip

Well located and clean
Our family room was comfortable and very clean. Matresses and pillows were really nice. Bathroom was very clean. Very close to tram and within walking distance of the centre.

Clean, comfortable and close enough to walk around Edinburgh and see some of the sites. Couldn’t have picked a better place.
Brooklyn, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The location was good for the tram and offered a cheaper alternative to central Edinburgh but the room was quite tired and could do with an upgrade.
Christine, 2-night trip

Practical for needs
Practical for our needs, clean and comfortable. Reasonably priced £80 one night stay.
Duncan, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

This is just an honest review with our thoughts on our stay. When we were checking in which was just around the end of the check in time we expected more professionalism. The night porter/ receptionist came around in pyjamas, and not friendly or welcoming, would recommend customer service training, because being nice is free. The room did not really look like the one on the pictures. Once we got to our room it stank of whisky, but there are also some positives. The room was very clean including the bathroom - bedding and towels. The room had amenities, coffee and tea, kettle and a TV. To add the room was warm, and the pillows and mattress were comfortable.
Adrian, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The Staff were very helpful and friendly, gave us a fan as the room was very hot. Decor is tired and bathroom could do with a revamp. But for the price it was fine for a couple of nights.
