“Nestled in a tranquil residential area near Leith Links, it presents a charming Georgian townhouse experience, offering a unique contrast to standard chain accommodations. I think its focus on local culture, combined with its proximity to both parks and historic sites like The Royal Yacht Britannia, makes it a particularly appealing base. In my opinion, for travellers seeking a relaxing Edinburgh visit with easy access to city attractions, this hotel is a smart choice.”

Adequate stay with minor issues

clean roomcomfortable bedfriendly staffworn hotelmany stairsdifficult access
My room was clean. I found the bed comfortable. Staff members were friendly too. Public transport into the city centre was easy. it was great. The price was good.
The hotel was quite worn. My room was at the top of a few flights of stairs. This made it difficult for me because I had a sprained ankle. I wish I had known about the stairs beforehand.

The hotel has old windows. These windows could be drafty at times. I feel it should be adressed.

Solid budget stay!

great locationshort walksmall table
The location was great. A park was directly across the street from the hotel. I could easily hop on the tram due to the proximity (it's a very short walk).
The single chair provided in my room was not really enough furniture, as it would have been helpful to have a small table.
