The pillows were also the best I've had in a hotel in a LONG time, contributing to great sleep Would definitely stay here again!

The door on Leith Street can be difficult to find, but there are signs on the wall pointing to the direction. You take the elevator to the fifth floor to reception. The room and bathroom were spacious and comes with a small fridge, kitchenette with microwave and dishwasher and a comfortable king bed. There are amazing views from the hotel and in our room. You can also walk over to the attached mall by going outside from the reception area on the fifth floor. The negatives were that there was an open salsa container in our fridge and empty shower gel in the bathroom which shows lack of details from housekeeping. We also didn't have a didn't have a disturb sign in our room and housekeeping kept coming in daily. The grab and go area at breakfast is nice, but only comes with a croissant, apple, and coffee maker that hopefully has coffee grounds/is working.

Came here during the summer of 2019 so some of this may have changed since. I'll also preface with…read morethe fact that I got sick mid-way thru my trip with strep (nothing to do with the hotel stay) but the hotel provided some form of comfort when I wasn't in the best state. Pros: - Spacious and lovely hotel with in-room Bluetooth so it feels like home - Free tea, coffee and tea cakes daily in your room (oh my god, first time having tea cakes - it was amazing!) - The front desk is nice and offered to take my luggage to my room - Located in the "old" city so walking around really feels magical vs the modern or shopping district - Area is quieter (but beware of weekends; see con below) and about 5-10mins from a few tourist attractions Cons: - Similar to prior comments, the floor plan and layout is really confusing. There's a front "gate" that you walk past and the front desk door is on the other side of the "courtyard." - I got really lost looking for my room because I had to go through a series of fire doors (heavy, at times making me think I went to the wrong way), weaving through the building. One of the employees disappeared with my luggage as I was going thru the check-in process and dropped my luggage off in my room. I wish they would of at least waited and escorted me to my room so I'd know the best route as there were 2-3 ways to get to my room. After the first day and a half, I was able to find the correct door to come in/out from. - The courtyard on weekends host events and parties on weekends and it's REALLY LOUD. I couldn't even open my window during the summer but I guess it's fine because they had AC. Even with the windows closed, I could still hear the muffling into the night. Luckily this all happened while I was still fine and not when I fell ill towards the end of the week/on a weekday. - During these parties, it's REALLY AWKWARD to come in/out of the hotel at night because you're literally walking through the crowds of drunk people. There wasn't even a designated walkway around the perimeter of the courtyard where they prohibited people from blocking. It was so frustrating as I was grabbing some water and then suddenly sandwiched between strangers who are giving me weird stares for interrupting them when all I'm trying to do is go back to my room and have nothing to do with this party.

3.5/5 Our stay here…read morewas fine, nothing much to write home about (Well, I guess there is, this got long!) The Bluetooth speakers in the ceiling really saved this place. Our room had a window overlooking an alley so the first night I was woken up by the horrible creaking noise and waking from a dead sleep to that was very unnerving, it took me a moment to figure out what the noise was since it wasn't happening routinely (It was a local business opening and closing their back door). The following night I wore my earplugs and played rain sounds from the speakers on either side of the bed and was woken up less, this noise still bit through everything even with the window shut - not a pleasant experience. It was hard for us to figure out how to make the shower a comfortable temperature, it was boiling hot constantly. The written out instructions they hand you at the front desk said to hang a "please clean" sign on the door if we wanted our room freshened so I didn't hang anything up the first day (we generally don't like folks in our room while we're gone). We came back after a long day to find that someone had been in our room and spiffed it up, this was so embarrassing since I'd had personal clothing items strewn about - I later realized that the other side of the door hanger said please do not disturb and I used that for the remainder of our trip. The folks at the front desk are not happy to work here. They stock snacks and drink but don't want you ordering there and will just tell you to go to the Three Sisters for everything. We tried to check in just a few minutes early and were told we couldn't and that the young lady would let us know when we could, we then watched her leave for her shift and had to do the whole song and dance again with her replacement. Not a great welcome. Snacks and drink in the vending machine are horribly overpriced. Great location, fine stay for the money but I wouldn't necessarily recommend it. We skipped the breakfast since it seemed to have fairly small options for a steep price. The Three Sisters next door were having a 5 pound breakfast so we did that instead and got two for the price of one breakfast from Stay...

The hotel is in a great location, and walking distance from so much. I loved that the hotel didn't feel like an obvious hotel, and it felt homey and comforting.

Although we didn't really use the kitchenette, it would definitely be helpful for when you want a evening in. The room included "Brekkie in a bag" that included a pain au chocolat, yoghurt with granola and honey, and an orange juice, great for on the go or a quick bite.
