An unforgettable experience in this clean hotel.
Excellent location.
My partner and I enjoyed our time at this hotel, it was very clean and was greeted by a lovely receptionist during the day. Self-check in is very easy and convenient.
Excellent property for the value and location (next to major route for trams and buses to the center, restaurants, coffee shops, bakeries, and grocery store all nearby). Room was clean and even though we were on the first floor, very quiet. Electric tea pot with tea, coffee and biscuits were a nice touch. Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. 30 minutes walk to the center and safe at night to do so. The location itself was very nice and quiet from the bustling center, really appreciated all the locally owned shops nearby.
Super clean, friendly staff, comfortable sleeping arrangements, and great shower!

Rooms are very Small. Área around the hotel transmits a sense of “unease” at night. Otherwise, a good “price-value” ratio. Conveniente y Locatel near a main thoroughfare. Public transport a block away. Staff (specially Noura) top-notch!
Great value, clean room, excellent location, very nice staff.
Only hitch was that the curtain for the skylight wouldn't close, but the nice lady at the front desk offered up some beers as an apology. Worked for me! Oh and they deactivated our room code prior to checkout time. Luckily there was someone at the front desk to give us an actual key card.
All in all, great though.
An urban hotel located on a cul-de-sac. Conveniently located along the tram line. A very clean, small room. It has an updated bathroom with a rain shower. Nice.
The exterior needs some TLC.
We loved this hotel! Perfect place to stay for couple of days. Was very clean and very easy to find. Couple min walk from any kind of transport. So many cafes and nice local pubs and restaurants around. Would definitely recommend.
Ideally placed on the tram link from.airport but still walkable up to the port and into the city. Lots of dining options on Leith road. Room was just as needed for a 2 night stop over to explore the area.
Near the Tram and Buses Stop.
Restaurants, Shops and Supermarkets around the block.
Nice bathroom and new shower.
Coffee and Tea available at the room.
I do recommend for a short stay.
Stayed overnight for an embassy appointment, very accessible to transport, coffee shops and stores nearby. Staff friendly and very accommodating. Toilet and shower room modern, clean and tidy.
