10/10 Excellent

An older building and no lift but clean and comfortable. Tram stop close by. Loved the 12 noon check in.
Janine, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We were made to feel very welcome and at home. Nice touch having fruit on the dining table for anyone to use, and croissants in room. Great location for heading into the city centre (walk or tram) or a wander round Leith.

A fabulous stay and a great welcome. Enjoyed the fresh fruit every morning along with the availability of a well equipped kitchen to prepare our own meals. The room was serviced daily with plenty of towels and amenities. The tram stop is near by. The room was clean and the bed comfy. Thanks

10/10 Excellent

Wonderful stay - would highly recommend

Really impressed with this place, especially for the very fair price we paid. Convenient location about 200 yards from tram stop. Really spacious room which had small kitchen facility as added bonus. Staff friendly and luggage storage helpful. Only gripe was that our shower in the en suite bathroom did not work v well
Benjamin, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

The manager there was incredibly friendly, the kitchen was clean and full of coffee, tea, and muffins. Not the most amazing location but has a tram stop to central Edinburgh a 2 minute walk away. Definitely would stay here again
chase, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Clean and comfortable

Charming older building a short walk from coffee shops, restaurants and Edinburgh’s excellent tram network and public transit. The room was tidy and serviceable, staff was friendly and responsive, all at a great price point. It’s not the Omni, to be clear, but it’s a comfortable place to use for exploring Edinburgh. Do note that there are stairs to the rooms so keep accessibility in mind.
Jonathan, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Staff is really friendly and helpful. We arrived early and check in time was noon still he provided us another room for 2 hours and didn’t charge extra. Hardly recommended.
Vaibhavi, 1-night trip

1-night trip

6/10 Okay

It is certainly dated but easy access to a large kitchen. Lots of snacks and coffee. Close to a grocery store. Right on the tram line so easy from airport. One problem, it was very difficult to get the right temperature for the shower. In fact the water was scalding hot when we went to turn it off. We had to drop a bath towel in the tub to turn in off so we did not get burnt.
Bonita, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Really welcoming and helpful. Safe. Looking forward to visiting again.
