Our stay at 3 John's Place was great. The Whalebone room was spacious and tidy, with a great view of the street and park. Amanda was super attentive and helpful via text and made our stay easy. She helped with an early check-in when we arrived earlier than expected and helped with storing our luggage on our depature day so we could explore more of the city before our flight. If/when we go back to Edinburgh we'll definitely look to book again!

This was one of the best properties we've had during our stay. Access to all the things we needed and all the places we wanted to go was amazing. Having the City Cab Taxi call right there in the lobby was inspired and a very classy move! The room was great, but the bathroom was spectacular! We would definitely return to 3 Johns Place.

Great to see Leith receiving investment. Accommodation was in a good location and central for everything we needed. Check-in/out times were variable when we booked it but I'm sure as this is a new property this will easily be fixed. Enjoyed our stay and would recommend.

We were in Edinburgh for an extra few nights unexpectedly and booked “3 Johns Place” last minute. We absolutely loved it! The bed was comfortable, the room was spotless, the shower was new and modern. I would give it more stars if I could. Easy check-in, accommodating staff, beautiful facility. 12/10. We are slowly becoming anti-Air Bnb folks because of accommodations like this. A+ 3 Johns Place.

Very lovely place ! Looks like entering a mansion with a beautiful gated front lawn. The room I was in was in the basement and could have been better ventilated. It had all the amenities needed for a traveller and it was very clean. There were no elevators so it might be a problem for some people. The staff were very nice and responsive and made their best to make our stay as comfortable as possible.

This was the most beautiful and best-equipped hotel I’ve ever stayed at in the UK. Not a single stain or speck of dust in the room—everything was perfectly clean. The water drained smoothly, the towels were wonderfully comfortable, and the coffee machine was a nice touch. Truly a hidden gem. Even though it’s about a 30-minute walk from central Edinburgh, I would happily stay here again. The only small request I have for the hotel is about the coffee cups provided. They don’t match the size of the coffee machine, so the coffee tends to overflow unless you watch it closely. It would be great if the cups could be replaced with ones that fit properly.

Nice place with well finished rooms and good service from staff. We really liked the north our hood including the nice community cafe and park across the street. It was an also a short walk from the tram as well as grocery stores and restaurants. We also liked that the staff were diligent in cleaning the room daily and restocked the complementary teas, coffee, water and biscuits. A couple minor complaints. The room we stayed in (Sailmaker) was in the basement with no window to the outside. This wasn’t clear in the room description though it should be highlighted more overtly as some may feel closed in without a window. The humidity level was also quite high in the room to the point where everything felt a bit damp. Installing a dehumidifier in the room would be helpful in addressing this. Regardless, we still had a good stay at 3 John’s Place.
