This was not our sort of property but it may work for others. Felt like student digs. The accommodation was a bit old. The area felt a bit dodgy. There was a communal kitchen.

Staff was friendly and informative at check-in. Breakfast was not officially provided, but all the makings of a continental breakfast were available in the kitchen (included) - breads, pastry, fruit, juice, coffee. It's a small property so the staff aren't always waiting for arrivals so try to give them a good idea of when you will arrive to avoid them not being available. Easy access from the tram and a nice walk to Leith or into Edinburgh.

Great location to get into the centre of Edinburgh via a tram or bus, or to get to the cafes and pubs in The Shore area. The staff were friendly and informative. The parking was good and seemed to be ample places. The provision of complimentary drinks and snacks was a bonus. Will stay here again when we next visit Edinburgh.

What an absolute gem, so pleased we booked to stay. Free parking around the back, easy check in, Craig and Anthony were so friendly and extremely helpful, nothing was too much trouble and communication by email was excellent. The room was spotless, comfortable and quiet, the bathroom was also spotless with a good shower, there was even a fridge in the room which was a bonus along with complimentary water and Iron Bru! The B&B had a good size kitchen where you helped yourself to breakfast, bread, cereal and pastries, butter and jams, there was also different pots if you wanted to cook anything. Right on the tram line and lots of different cafes, bars and restaurants within walking distance. Fully recommend staying here and we'll definitely be back!
