Booked the room for 1 night, was comfortable, not too warm not too cold. I could hear water when someone upstairs flushed, but that didn’t prevent me sleeping. 10/10, would sleep there again.

I got a basement room with a tiny window. The bed sheets were dirty with stains the table top had something sticky spilled all over it. The bathroom was decent and clean but had another door opening to the back of the property and that door was a glass door so extremely uncomfortable

Good location with nice bars and restaurants nearby. Walkable to city centre and Leith town centre but also lots of transport options. The room was clean. The bathroom was clean enough but there were areas in the shower that need re-sealing and the shower floor was chipped in one area. Plenty of toilet roll provided though! Room was always lovely and warm which was nice considering how cold it was outside. Bed was also comfy

It's ok , it's fairly clean and tidy , close to city either by bus or walking, it's all a bit dated but overall kept clean , I did have a strange mark on my ceiling where it had been poorly repaired I suspect from a leak above, I was also in basement so no looking out at all, which is a bit tough no real natural light just a smidge through the window but very dark . Would I stay again yes I probably would for location but that's about it .

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We waited outside in the rain for 15minutes or more waiting to get an answer. We followed instructions on where to ring bell etc, tried calling the 3 numbers attached to door however got no answer at any of them! Once inside we found staff very unfriendly & not bothered that we had to wait so long outside. The room was so small, and very dark as not all lights worked, some were hanging off wall. To cables were exposed which loomed really bad. Toilet was teeny & not very nice, the so called unit under sink looked dreadful, their DIY skills aren’t good, however the shower worked well. To be honest we did not get our monies worth which was almost £163 for one night without breakfast. This hotel is not worth the money & we certainly will not be returning or recommending.

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.

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.

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!

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.
