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.

2/10 Poor

Poor nights sleep
The room was very small, smallest I’ve stayed in at a hotel. We did not sleep well due to a light flashing from the smoke alarm flashing non stop every minute. We reported this only to be told they knew it was faulty before letting the room to us and told there was nothing they could do. It is hard to understand how the staff thought this was ok, or why they did not have a maintenance team who could fix the problem in a timely way. Having a bad nights sleep is unacceptable. The room was clean enough, the shower was good. The windows where very dirty and there was scaffolding outside the window. I would not stay here again and would not recommend.

6/10 Good

Fair accommodation, good location but stuffy rooms
Location for the hotel was excellent, a quick tram ride into town or a 30min walk. There were also plenty of cafes, bars and shops nearby. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom clean with a very good shower. However, the tiny sink made it difficult and the general cramped nature of the room also was tricky. The main downside for us however was the uncomfortably warm temperature. We turned our radiator down to zero but still the room was stiflingly hot at all times, and the window would not stay open, so we had to wedge something there to get a breeze in. The room was also not at all private, with the window looking out immediately to the gate for guests to enter and exit. Some blinds/frosted glass/net curtains would have allowed more privacy. There were also lots of marks on floor, walls and furniture giving a very tired look. It was fine for a short stay and we didn't spend much time in the accommodation so didn't bother us too much, but the heat did prevent us from having good quality sleep. There is also no one in reception except for hours when as a guest, you are typically out exploring (12-8). A tip for other guests regarding parking - there is pay and display parking in nearby streets (free on Sundays) but you can drop bags by the hotel as the street is quite quiet, and then go to park in the free street parking around the Easter Road Football Grounds (around 15mins walk away) as long as you're comfortable leaving your car on the street (we had no issues).

10/10 Exceptional

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.

4/10 Fair

No WiFi on the first day. The room was tiny and the bed was less comfortable than a couch. The staff was nice although not always available and they sometimes chatted loudly in the hallways. The walls are thin and you can hear everyone’s footsteps. Considering the price, I would stay elsewhere.

Shower was the highlight, great pressure and heat, room was nice and clean, solid overall place to stay at a reasonable price

6/10 Good

We stayed in an accessible room as it was the only room available for our dates. The bed was positioned against the wall so making it difficult and inconvenient for the second person. The bathroom was very smelly, constant damp as the extractor fan didn't work and you couldn't open the window that was covered in black mould. Not a good situation for anyone, especially medically vulnerable. The hotel is in a pretty good position for accessing the city if you're happy to walk (we did 11 miles) and there are loads of cafés eateries on Leith Walk.

Parking has been nightmare, i guess i didn't see any reviews on it. Had to park in a multistorey and get a cab over. Not great having a open floir shower. Overall, paid four star prices for a 2 hotel.

I liked the access code system for getting into your room, very good for flexibility. Nice room and very clean. However, I found the staff difficult to contact & the mattress was like a hammock, needs replacing.
