the location is great. it's very near a tram station, so getting around was easy. the room had what i needed, and it was clean upon arrival. free hot water and coffee were available in the lounge too.
the shower room was a little too small for my liking. there was no exhaust fan in the bathroom, a bit inconvenient. i also noticed that there was no daily room service .

Functional Stay Near Leith Walk

convenient locationtram stophelpful staffawkward shower
I found the location quite convenient. the tram stop right outside was a real plus. having a tesco nearby made grocery shopping easy. I appreciated that. the staff was helpful with directions.
The shower setup was awkward. The door didn't open fully. this made getting in and out difficult. I had to be very careful. it's a small detail but impacted my daily routine.
