An unforgettable experience in this clean hotel. Excellent location.

Great access to tram, bakeries, pubs, and restaurants that aren’t overrun by large and loud groups.

I had an overall positive experience at this property and it's a good place to stay for a short quick trip!
Dhiti, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It was really good. The bathroom was neat and refurbished. lovely shower. It's a more on the cozy small side, but for a short stay in Edinburgh, it's close to the tram stop for easy access to train stations. The lock without the key card was fiddly, but the hosts answered their calls very quickly and handled the issues with immense professionalism. i would recommend the stay. It was lovely.

10/10 Exceptional

Wonderful little spot for our quick stay in Edinburgh. The room was spotless and comfortable, with some local beer as a welcome present and a kettle to make coffee/tea. The location was extremely convenient with some excellent cafes and restaurants in the area and just steps away from bus/tram stops for easy access to the Old Town and Waverly Station. They also offer free luggage storage which was super convenient when were checking out in the morning and had some time to explore before our train in the evening. The only small downside was no AC in the room which got a bit hot during the day, but wasn't a problem in the evening.

Ideally placed on the tram link from.airport but still walkable up to the port and into the city. Lots of dining options on Leith road. Room was just as needed for a 2 night stop over to explore the area.

The front desk lady was so nice! She expedited my room so I can check in early. It was a good stay, quiet, and public transport was close by.

Great Cost X Benefit

Near the Tram and Buses Stop. Restaurants, Shops and Supermarkets around the block. Nice bathroom and new shower. Coffee and Tea available at the room. I do recommend for a short stay.
Eduardo, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This isn't a fancy pants hotel but I would happily come back to it. The room was ready at 4 but it was possible for us to store our luggage from 12. The room was more than large enough for us, two adults and two children, queen bed and a sofa bed. The wet room was built to be accessible for wheelchair users. There was a slight drainy smell but it was fine once you ran water through the system eg after a shower. There wasn't a fridge in the room but tea and coffee that you were welcome to top up. It is situated off the Leith road which is has every type of cuisine conceivable so you won't go hungry. Very comprehensive transport links into town, or buses/ tram but also very walkable. All in all it is fairly priced for what it is. However the best thing about this hotel was the staff. They were so friendly and really wanted to be as helpful as possible. Honestly I would come back for them alone, really lovely people all of them.

We booked this place for our one night stay in Edinburgh. As the storm made disruptions to the trains and buses we were unable to travel to Edinburgh and the hotel was so unhelpful in this process and didn’t accommodate change of date or a refund. It’s shameful to have zero understanding of natural disasters and treat them like normal situations. Will not recommend this place at all
Parand, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice place neerbuigend the center of de. City.Rooms are very small and parking your car is a problem, it’s onlusten for permit houders. We did het the message after we Booker-prijs.
Derk, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely 3 day stay with helpful owners. Clean and tidy room with a wet room for ablutions. The Edinburgh tram service is an online booking must for 1, 3, 4, or 5 day passes creating easy travel from the airport to the city river. We bought a 3 day city pass for £10 each after we travelled from the airport (£10 return) but if you buy online before you arrive you can get a pass that covers the airport and city, search Edinburgh Trams.

No WiFi on the first day. The room was tiny and the bed was less comfortable than a couch. The staff was nice although not always available and they sometimes chatted loudly in the hallways. The walls are thin and you can hear everyone’s footsteps. Considering the price, I would stay elsewhere.
Clarence, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

They didn’t mention on the website that there’s no window. The room was like prison cell. There’s no one at night to help,The wifi doesn’t work at all.going off and on.Better to stay a bit expensive but with facilities.we didn’t enjoy at all to be honest.

Run down

There was hair clogging the shower. The towel were torn, and the bathroom bin was not empty. There was no breackfast included, even though i rented the room because of that and was charged a wooping 250pounds per day.

Cheap, and you get what you pay for

Started of really good. Nice people in the reception, when they were there. Last day however, our door cards stopped working at 10.45. Check out time was 11. No one in reception and it took us around 40min to get in touch with the emergency number so we could check out of our room. So, all in all good location, price is good, but costomer support when needed. One of the emergency phones was actually left behind in the unattended lobby.

6/10 Good

l’hotel non è male, il problema è stato che la prima sera siamo arrivati verso mezzanotte e l reception era vuota. Mi era stato mandato solo il codice per accedere alla hall, ma mi ero accertata contattandoli che sarebbe stato possibile fare il check-in a qualsiasi orario, anche di notte. quando siamo arrivati e non abbiamo trovato nessuno, non sapendo quale sarebbe stata la nostra stanza né tantomeno il codice per aprire la porta, abbiamo chiamato il numero di telefono notturno riportato alla reception, ma non abbiamo ricevuto alcuna risposta. Dopo numerose chiamate e mail senza risposta abbiamo dovuto chiamare un altro hotel per trascurare la notte lì. Le altre due notti sono invece andate bene, stanza pulita e personale cordiale.
