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.

Our hosts were very helpful and accommodating, There is a full kitchen for guests use and there were always snacks, coffee and tea available. Trams to town center and the docks are right outside the door with a stop a block away. No complaints from us!

A fabulous stay and a great welcome. Enjoyed the fresh fruit every morning along with the availability of a well equipped kitchen to prepare our own meals. The room was serviced daily with plenty of towels and amenities. The tram stop is near by. The room was clean and the bed comfy. Thanks

It is certainly dated but easy access to a large kitchen. Lots of snacks and coffee. Close to a grocery store. Right on the tram line so easy from airport. One problem, it was very difficult to get the right temperature for the shower. In fact the water was scalding hot when we went to turn it off. We had to drop a bath towel in the tub to turn in off so we did not get burnt.

Four nights stay with my mom

Warm and welcoming. Excellent location, great value for money. Some roofing work going on but there was zero noise or disturbance whatsoever. The beds are super comfortable, and rooms silent, so we slept well. Second time staying here, will be coming back. Craig is lovely and helpful, and we got to leave our luggage at the hotel for the day after checkout so we could go to Portobello for we had a late flight. Oh and I could just see Arthur's Seat from the room window :)
