We loved this hotel! Perfect place to stay for couple of days. Was very clean and very easy to find. Couple min walk from any kind of transport. So many cafes and nice local pubs and restaurants around. Would definitely recommend.

Ideally placed on the tram link from.airport but still walkable up to the port and into the city. Lots of dining options on Leith road. Room was just as needed for a 2 night stop over to explore the area.

Smith Place Hotel is no frills but was comfortable and the room was a good size. The only issue we had was that the wifi was very intermittent.

We booked this place for our one night stay in Edinburgh. As the storm made disruptions to the trains and buses we were unable to travel to Edinburgh and the hotel was so unhelpful in this process and didn’t accommodate change of date or a refund. It’s shameful to have zero understanding of natural disasters and treat them like normal situations. Will not recommend this place at all

Good location. Systems and staff were excellent. Room fine but bed too small and very uncomfortable.

This location and hotel were perfect for my short stay as a solo traveler. The bathroom was clean, the staff was the absolute best, they had delicious cookies in the room and candy at reception. The women at the reception were knowledgeable, sweet, caring and helpful. I would definitely come back here if I'm in Edinburgh. The location is walkable; you can walk to the closest tram/bus stations and have tons of shopping and dining options you could walk to and make the most out of your time in Edinburgh.

The location is great. However, Room 4 is very small and the bed is old and sags in the middle, so very uncomfortable.

Our stay for a night was ok but it's not the worth of money you spend for a night. We could have got more in this budget. Like free parking and breakfast.
