Our stay at 3 John's Place was great. The Whalebone room was spacious and tidy, with a great view of the street and park. Amanda was super attentive and helpful via text and made our stay easy. She helped with an early check-in when we arrived earlier than expected and helped with storing our luggage on our depature day so we could explore more of the city before our flight. If/when we go back to Edinburgh we'll definitely look to book again!

Fringe weekend.

Whilst this is a pleasant enough hotel, our stay was spoiled by a TV that had no channels, a shower with a blocked drain causing flooding and a duvet that would have been perfect in the depth of winter but not during the height of summer.

Very modern and stylish guesthouse, highly comfortable bed. While no staff on site, the team could easily be reached and provided support, as there was an issue with the access code. All the doors close pretty loud unfortunately.

We were in Edinburgh for an extra few nights unexpectedly and booked “3 Johns Place” last minute. We absolutely loved it! The bed was comfortable, the room was spotless, the shower was new and modern. I would give it more stars if I could. Easy check-in, accommodating staff, beautiful facility. 12/10. We are slowly becoming anti-Air Bnb folks because of accommodations like this. A+ 3 Johns Place.

Nice place with well finished rooms and good service from staff. We really liked the north our hood including the nice community cafe and park across the street. It was an also a short walk from the tram as well as grocery stores and restaurants. We also liked that the staff were diligent in cleaning the room daily and restocked the complementary teas, coffee, water and biscuits. A couple minor complaints. The room we stayed in (Sailmaker) was in the basement with no window to the outside. This wasn’t clear in the room description though it should be highlighted more overtly as some may feel closed in without a window. The humidity level was also quite high in the room to the point where everything felt a bit damp. Installing a dehumidifier in the room would be helpful in addressing this. Regardless, we still had a good stay at 3 John’s Place.
