    Walls were very thin and not soundproofed, which disturbed us at night as there was some noise.

    Very big en-suite bathroom and comfortable bed.

    The heating is a bit tricky - you don't seem to have any control over the heating system so we were sleeping with a window wide open in the middle of March.

    Great location, very comfortable rooms

    The location current has a lot of construction. Their check in process seemed odd to us. You have to ring a bell and then they come down 5-10 mins later to let you in. The place is dated and the bed wasn’t comfortable. It was so hot despite us turning the heat down and neither of us slept well

    Decor is a bit dated but for the price who cares, worth it for a city break and a good place to stay without silly Edinburgh tax!

    Great location for easy access to the centre, quiet area and nice staff. Comfortable bed, really warm, nice good hot shower and easy check in.

    The door of the bathroom didn't actually shut unless locked as had no actual handle a few little bits of the room needed maintenance like the shelf in the bathroom sloping down but nothing that overly affected our stay.

    Leith house replenished our coffee and tea daily and we're happy for us to store our bags in the day when we arrived early. The bed was comfortable and we were allowed to come and go as we pleased.

    - Bathroom door cannot be closed - keeps opening. Therefore if one is laying on the bed, he/she can directly see a person using a toilet or takig a shower. About 3cm space below door, meaning you da hear everything in the bathroom as if there was no door. - nowhere to hang towels - quite small room, low cieling - small bed, one banket - paper walls, can hear neighbours speaking/their tv Floor and bed squeaking a lot - bathroom very old, showering curtain with dirt in corners

    + Great location,. Very (too) warm inside + cold outside + windows do open= easy to regulate tempererature. + kettle + some complimentary tea + 2 glasses, 2 mugs, 2 tea spoons + clear instructions when checking-in and checking-out

    The room would have benefited from better storage for guest's clothes and possessions as there was no wardrobe just 4 coat hangers, and no shelves. Nowhere in the bathroom to put toiletries except the cistern lid or the floor. It was a family room for three, it was a bit of a squeeze for three people's belongings.

    The location was close to transport links and within walking distance of the city centre. No breakfast was served but plenty of cafes near by. There was a kettle etc in the room. The shower was spacious and efficient. The heating was powerful if you needed it.

    A reception, no one is available if you come early with your bags and you havent arranged it before. Bathroom very small, if I was a larger person I would not have been able to fit in the shower. The room was very outdated, maybe paint the rooms white and have a lighter carpet. The room was a nice room but uncomfortable bed. The furniture would have looked nicer in a brighter room as it was nice.

    Great location - tram not far away into city. Shops nearby for breakfast etc.

    Very expensive for the quality of the room. To be fair, this is in line with Edinburgh prices. Our room was on the ground floor of a potentially beautiful terrace house with high and decorated ceilings. However, the furniture was very old, same thing for the carpet and curtains, none of the lights by the bed worked even after swapping the light bulb with a functioning one. It's a pity because it wouldn't take a lot of work to improve substantially the room.

    Location is good, close to vibrant Leith Walk but in a quiet street.

    You pay for what you get. Basically, this accommodation is average. Staff is not friendly, but not unfriendly, furniture isn't new but could be older, don't look to closely at the carpet, comfort is fine but nothing out of the extraordinary. Just plain and simple and if you're aware before arriving you'll have a nice stay. I liked the location in the residential area, it's calm and still well connected. Tram is 5min walking distance and we walked to the city center a couple of times. Also, we discovered Leith walkway, which is really nice to do.

    Very small room, I wouldn't book if staying longer than a few days.

    The location was close to the Tram stop so it was easy to grab the Tram to travel into town. The room was clean and suited my needs for this short stay.
