Very tired property

It’s just a collection of odd rooms in a house. Furnished rather poorly it’s not the sort of place you would want to spend all day sheltering from the rain, even if the facilities were there to do so. Very very basic room but well cleaned.

Safe, quiet location. Moisture issue in the bathroom/shower (mild mold). Great water pressure, though. Clean, but very loudly creaky bed. TV was a non-starter. Easy to get everywhere.

Excellent value for money

I recently had a 4 night stay. Superb location with easy access to buses and trams into the city. Upon arrival i was greeted by a lovely, helpful lady. (Having waited less then 2 mins after ringing the bell). I stayed in the single ensuite room. The only negatives are...it's a small room, no wardobe or anywhere to hang clothes. Although i compromised and used hangers on a picture rail. The ensuite bathroom takes up most of the room space. However, the ensuite was great. Powerful and hot. I found the room too hot most days but then i had brought a travel fan (which helped!) and you can only slightly open the window. I got used to the room being small but if you're a solo traveller who likes your space, maybe this isn't the room for you. All in all i had a very quiet and peaceful stay. I couldn't hear any noise as people have reported. (I was on the ground floor) no plumbing effects either of showers or toilets being flushed etc. As people have previously said this is a no frills guest house. I would happily stay here again for the location and the price and the friendly staff

This place had good ratings when I found it in January so was disappointed with the standard of the classic double room for a 3 night stay. The room had a low ceiling so getting around the bed was difficult, the furniture was dated and looked homemade from the 70’s. Tired furnishings. The bathroom drain smelled so had to ask for it to be bleached. The only thing in favour of this accommodation was its proximity to the tram which was a 5 minute walk. Also the landlady gave us advice on places to eat nearby which was useful. I suppose you get what you pay for but would not return or recommend.

I got a basement room with a tiny window. The bed sheets were dirty with stains the table top had something sticky spilled all over it. The bathroom was decent and clean but had another door opening to the back of the property and that door was a glass door so extremely uncomfortable

Booked the room for 1 night, was comfortable, not too warm not too cold. I could hear water when someone upstairs flushed, but that didn’t prevent me sleeping. 10/10, would sleep there again.

We waited outside in the rain for 15minutes or more waiting to get an answer. We followed instructions on where to ring bell etc, tried calling the 3 numbers attached to door however got no answer at any of them! Once inside we found staff very unfriendly & not bothered that we had to wait so long outside. The room was so small, and very dark as not all lights worked, some were hanging off wall. To cables were exposed which loomed really bad. Toilet was teeny & not very nice, the so called unit under sink looked dreadful, their DIY skills aren’t good, however the shower worked well. To be honest we did not get our monies worth which was almost £163 for one night without breakfast. This hotel is not worth the money & we certainly will not be returning or recommending.

Good location with nice bars and restaurants nearby. Walkable to city centre and Leith town centre but also lots of transport options. The room was clean. The bathroom was clean enough but there were areas in the shower that need re-sealing and the shower floor was chipped in one area. Plenty of toilet roll provided though! Room was always lovely and warm which was nice considering how cold it was outside. Bed was also comfy
