Staff very friendly, guest house clean and quiet. However, the electric kettle in the room is leaking, there is a safety concern

The place was charming. I loved my room - very much a guest house, more like a B&B than a hotel, which is what I wanted. The small decanter of Scotch in the room and the shortbread biscuits were a delightful touch. While the location might seem less than than central, it was only a short and easy bus ride from central Edinburgh - though I preferred walking up Leith Walk into town, which has lots of cafes, pubs, bookstores, used record stores, etc. along it. Suited me down to the ground

Nice rooms in a modernized building. Across from a park with bus access out front and a short walk to the tram.

We enjoyed our stay at Sandaig. It was close to restaurants and shopping and the tram line. Luke was very helpful and very personable. He was very prompt in replying to our requests.

The place is great and Luke was amazing, super kind, very comfortable and in a lovely neighborhood, the park across the street is ideal for a morning walk

This wasn’t a very confident location with my grandmother bc there a large amount of walking to the tram and bus. But someone younger like myself it was a great location! The room was small but beautiful! The bed was comfy and the pillows were great! The staff were so friendly and accommodating and helpful! We stayed 2 nights here and we were very pleased with our stay!

Happy with the stay, would like to have the website updated as stated breakfast available but this is no longer an option. Bed was hard compared to my normal bed, although that could just be my preference. Luke and Andy, fantastic hosts. Would be happy to return but would choose ensuite facilitates next time.

Wonderful place to stay in Edinburgh. It is walking distance to many different spots and it is easy to reach by tram and walk. The staff was wonderful and very helpful.

I booked very late and was able to communicate with someone by phone fairly quickly. It’s a big house and operates as such.

Very comfortable, good value, a lot of charm, convenient location, away from the hustle and bustle but a short easy bus ride into the downtown area (buses come all the time and you can pay with credit card 1.9 pounds each way).
Stayed 1 night in Jul 2022

8/10

A nice place in a great location, close to transport, a park & nice shops. The room we stayed in was perhaps a bit more run-down than the website pictures let on (chipped paint & scuffed walls, precariously hung curtains, loud squeaky hinges on door, and a tricky knob on bathroom door). But it was clean & the complimentary sherry was a cute touch.

The property has some age, it also has character, the room was smaller than average, there are restaurants and bars in close proximity. Distance to downtown is a long walk, but a short cab ride. There are transportation options. I found it a bit difficult to reach the staff at the Sandaig, but they were friendly.

We stayed here during the pandemonium that was Taylor Swift’s tour and it was exactly what we needed. Easy transportation into the city center on the tram but far enough removed from the hustle and bustle that it was very peaceful! Highly recommend. The front desk is a little unorthodox but anytime we needed to talk to someone, we called the number they provided and had help within minutes.
