Very clean and comfortable room. The bed was spacious and comfortable, and shower excellent. The crockery supplied was very useful, and the coffee machine provided in the reception area a good touch. It felt luxurious, curated, but not ostentatious a hotel. Would definitely return.

Clean with cozy ambiance. The sort of hotel that feels like “coming home”. Great quiet location. Airconditioning would be a definite plus during summer…..

The room was very clean and location acceptable. Loved the garden across the street. Loved that a fan was available for the night. Bed was mostly comfortable. Happy to have a fridge, hair dryer, and tv. Room is small but has all the amenities. Parking is a bit confusing.

Lovely room with handy amenities and good location.
Immaculately clean- the most clean hotel environment I ’ve ever stayed. The housekeeping team deserve a pay rise!
Only downside was the luggage storage lockers weren’t working properly.

The room was spacious and well appointed. The bed was the best I had slept in during my tour of the UK. The bathroom was luxurious and the products were in line with that assessment. The towels were plush and absorbent. The coffee service outside the room was convenient. Be prepared for stairs. And be prepared to ask other guests questions since staff are relatively obscure.

Everything from the automated locker storage, to the customer support, decor and little teas in the room was so well thought of. I will definitely be referring this place to everyone. Location was already great and very easy to get to from city centre.

Excellent, beautiful space - we had the Salamander room. Check in easy. Half a block from Edinburgh tram, 15 minutes to city. Lots of interesting cafes/dining. Lively part of Edinburgh.

The hotel is super clean and really nicely decorated. Our room was quiet and cozy.
The only thing that could be better was the lockers for storing luggage before/after check-in and check out. These lockers did not lock. When the lock said it was locked in the app it was easy to open the locker. I hope they will fix these or make a different system, perhaps with NFC padlocks or something alike.

The room was really really clean and it was beautifully curated! I booked for a night here to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday and it was definitely the right decision! We were also upgraded to the Wellington, which was very very kind of the owner/manager!

A really nice place to stay. Good sized rooms in a guest house setting. Although no front desk or receptionist, the remote customer service was excellent when needed.

It is a good location for the lovely Leith area, and the trams run straight to Edinburgh centre and also the airport. A good relaxed option, avoiding the crowds.

Well appointed townhouse. At the far bottom end of Leith Street which made it quiet and restful. Still very walkable to most things and tram stop is very close by.

Solo stay in Edinburgh whilst family stayed elsewhere. This is an absolute find. Modern, stylish and so comfortable. Check in etc was perfect, and it’s located so close to the tram stop. Would definitely stay again.

The townhouse pictures are representative of the suite/room. The Leith neighbourhood is really charming and a quiet and relatively tourist free area. Easy short tram ride from Edinburgh city centre and tram connection to the airport.
