Hotel Details

Location

A quiet, residential location in Edinburgh's Leith Walk area, a 15-20 minute walk from Princes Street and the city centre.
The guesthouse sits in a calm residential street just off Leith Walk, placing it within comfortable walking distance of Edinburgh's central attractions - Princes Street, the Royal Mile, Edinburgh Waverley station (2 km), and the Edinburgh Playhouse are all reachable on foot in 15-30 minutes. A bus stop is located directly outside the property, and the tram stop is a 6-minute walk away, providing direct links to Edinburgh Airport (12 km) and the city centre. The surrounding area is well served by cafés, supermarkets (Sainsbury's close by), pubs, and restaurants such as White Sushi and Pierogi Najlepsze w MieScie (0.5 km). The coastal harbour area of Leith is also accessible on foot, making the location practical for both sightseeing and exploring the city's food scene.

Dining

No on-site dining is offered; breakfast is not included but several cafés and restaurants are within a short walk.
The guesthouse does not provide breakfast or an on-site restaurant or bar. A range of eateries is located within a 2-5 minute walk, including White Sushi, Pierogi Najlepsze w MieScie, 305 Cafe, and Storries Home Bakery. The reception team can provide personalised recommendations for nearby cafés for breakfast. The property itself offers complimentary tea, coffee, and snacks (such as brownies or shortbread) available at reception or replenished daily in the room, along with a bottle of water. For guests preferring self-catering, a Sainsbury's supermarket is close by.

Amenities

Free Wi-Fi, daily housekeeping, luggage storage, and a multilingual reception with a warm welcome.
Wi-Fi is provided free of charge throughout the property. The reception is staffed and speaks English and Polish; hosts are known for a welcoming arrival with tea, coffee, and snacks, and for providing city maps and dining tips. Daily housekeeping includes bed-making, towel changes, and replenishment of tea, coffee, water, and chocolates. Luggage storage is offered before check-in and after check-out, allowing guests to explore the city free of their bags. No parking is available on site - paid on-street parking (free on Sundays and evenings) is an option, but public transport is the recommended method for arrival and city access.

Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Use the bus stop directly outside or the tram stop a 6-minute walk away for fast, car-free access to Edinburgh city centre.

  • 02

    Request a room away from the road if quiet sleep is a priority.

  • 03

    Plan breakfast at one of the nearby cafés - it is not included and no on-site breakfast is served.
