I stayed for 2 nights and all of the staff I met were very pleasant and helpful but the hotel seemed in need of a bit of an upgrade. Location was great. I arrived at the airport and took the tram to 100 meters from the hotel. There was a tram every 6/7 mins so very easy to get into the city centre.

We loved our stay here. The staff were all very polite and happy, nothing was too much for them. The room was perfect and cleaned daily. Great breakfast with lots of choice. The tram / bus / train services were all close by, regular, on time, reasonably priced and excellent. If we come back to Leith we would definitely stay here again.

A weekend trip with the family. Had a great time. Only niggle - the hash browns at the free breakfast are terrible. Not a deal breaker as you just avoid them. Great location with easy transport and staff are great.
