“This hotel places you in the vibrant Leith district, near independent shops and eateries, and it's a straightforward choice for travelers interested in Edinburgh's cultural attractions and events. Express check-in and soundproofed rooms add convenience, though some past experiences suggest service inconsistencies should be considered. Its budget-conscious approach and proximity to key sites like Edinburgh Playhouse make it a practical base despite potential drawbacks.”
