In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

3 reasons to book
  • Seafront location with easy city access — The hotel sits on the Leith waterfront, near Newhaven Harbour, and the No. 10 bus stops right outside, taking guests into central Edinburgh.

  • Friendly and welcoming staff — The team is consistently noted for warm, top-notch customer service, from check-in to the restaurant.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • No pets allowed — The hotel does not permit pets, so travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
  • Some reviews cite lower ratings despite positives — While most feedback is positive, a few reviews gave lower scores while still noting clean rooms and polite staff, suggesting expectations may vary.
  • Location is outside the city centre — The hotel is in Leith, not central Edinburgh, so guests need to rely on buses or taxis to reach the main sights.
