Great stay in comfortable room
Very comfortable and spacious room with friendly service and great overall vibe. Excellent location for exploring the Leith area and also a short tram or bus ride away from the city centre.

Excellent
Hotel trust as you would expect, simply excellent.
Definitely not enough parking for the number of rooms so first come first serve is not always good for the late comers.

A bit tired.
A nice big room with a comfy bed but the duvet was much too thick and we were both too hot during the night.
The bathroom wasn’t great with both the sink and bath very slow to drain and the bath panel looked pretty nasty.
The lift was very small and seemed to be struggling which was a bit worrying! The service at breakfast was very slow and the coffee machine was making a very unhealthy noise. All in all not a great stay.

Ok
The welcome and information at reception was really great however the overall condition of the hotel and room was a bit disappointing. Our room was towards the back and it seemed like things got more tired the further along the corridor we went. Our room looked nice but we found some unclean areas - particularly a little window full of cobwebs. The fan in the bathroom never turned off so we had that hum all night and we didn't think the shower over the bath was that great.

Great hotel in Leith
This hotel is great value for money, considering the quality of accommodation, hospitality and food. It is in a lovely part of Edinburgh down by the Leith waterfront. The only negative I have is that the background music in the public areas is really depressing! Please change it to something else.
