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.
