The property is located in a nice area, easily accessible. It does not offer a proper breakfast, but a dining space, coffee, tea, snacks, milk, bread and fruit. The hosts are really helpful. However, the price is quite high, although could not find better in Edinburgh.

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.

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

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.
