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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Do not recommend.
We did not have a great experience at this guest house. It all started with our check in. What a mess. It said to ring the bell at the next door over and to wait for someone to service us. Nothing stated how long this would take. We rang the bells (mind you there was two bells, didn't know which to ring, so rang both) and waited, and waited. Nobody showed up. We tried calling the emergency numbers, but those didn't work either. After a quite some time we tried talking to neighbors and one finally helped us out. We were eventually let in, but instead of just apologizing the lady just said she didn't hear any bell, we must not have rung the right one. She continued to push the buttons to show us how it works, and then realized that they didn't actually work very well. Then she proceeded to take our info and gave us the key. The room itself we small, but mostly clean. Uncomfortable bed. Tiny added bathroom in the room, could barely get on the shower. Parking sucked, as you had to park on the street, but there was not a lot of free space, and if you did manage to get a space, it is paid parking during the day. Most parking on the street is permit parking. Overall, we did not have a good time at this place. Would not stay again.

The staff did not answer the bell for 30 minutes. Another couple went to a neighbors door who finally let us in and then the property manager said we didn’t ring the bell.

As good as the property was, the room I was given was big and spacious, but it started leaking water right on one of the beds when it rained just about the time I was checking out this morning. Apart from this, it's a fantastic please.
