Clean and comfortable. The best of both worlds (AirBnB and hotel). The room was made up every morning but the cost was quite low. I'd stay again when I return to Edinburgh.

The place was charming. I loved my room - very much a guest house, more like a B&B than a hotel, which is what I wanted. The small decanter of Scotch in the room and the shortbread biscuits were a delightful touch. While the location might seem less than than central, it was only a short and easy bus ride from central Edinburgh - though I preferred walking up Leith Walk into town, which has lots of cafes, pubs, bookstores, used record stores, etc. along it. Suited me down to the ground

Lovely stay

Very comfortable, good value, a lot of charm, convenient location, away from the hustle and bustle but a short easy bus ride into the downtown area (buses come all the time and you can pay with credit card 1.9 pounds each way).

Sad accomodations.

I got locked out of my room right away and luckily another guest was able to get ahold of staff.They used an antiquated physical key that was unnecessarrily heavy. My bathroom was in the hallway outside of my room and was a pain to lock. There was no kitchen or bar, but an empty room that could have been used for that purpose. The price was descent. Yet, you wouldn't want to be there except to sleep. I wouldn't stay there again.

Sandaig is in a great location for Leith and the vibrant high street. The unmanned reception is understandable in the current day and age and arrival/check-in went smoothly. There were phone-calls to aid the process, but I did miss the friendliness of an in person welcome. The room was good, but I hadn't noticed in prior communication that my bathroom was not in the room, but accross the corridor leading to another room. I don't think other rooms had this arrangement. It wasn't a major problem, but remembering to carry your key to the loo in the middle of the night, might lead some clients getting locked out. The lovely shortbread and refreshment in the room were lovely gestures and added to the overall positive experience.

We enjoyed our stay at Sandaig. It was close to restaurants and shopping and the tram line. Luke was very helpful and very personable. He was very prompt in replying to our requests.
