This hotel was absolutely perfect for our 5 day stay in Edinburgh, tram is a short walk away and it’s a nice and easy 20 min walk from Old town. A lot of coffee shops, bakeries, restaurants and groceries nearby. The room was super clean, very pretty and had everything we needed. I will definitely come back and stay here again!

One of the best hotels I’ve stayed in, the room was immaculate. Every aspect was great quality with so many extra touches, like the steamer and iron. I will definitely be back next time I’m in Edinburgh.

The property was beautiful inside and out. It was modern and clean, with lovely fixtures and fittings. The location is fine with easy transport links into the city centre and there are some nice artisan bakeries and coffee shops within walking distance to go and have breakfast. It was a tiny bit disappointing that there is no breakfast available. There is also no reception or staff available on site so check in has to be done remotely on your mobile prior to arrival and you will then recieve a code to enter both the building and your room. All in all it was a very pleasant stay, bed was very comfortable and the shower was great. We'd definately stay again.

Contactless. No front desk which was fine by me. Room was great. Quiet and modern. Seems like a haul to the heart of Edinburg but you are a block away from the tram and it only costs two pounds for a quick ride up the street. Coming home it's slightly downhill which is a nice way to work of your drinks! Also Malones pub is just around the corner.

We loved this property and felt very much at home. The only fault, which was a minor one, the kitchen area needed more light. We hope to return again soon!

3 John's Place is located very close to the tram line... quick access to the city. The Sandpiper apartment exceeded our expectations - comfortable bed, great pillows, decorated with care, beautiful bathroom and strong shower, fluffy thick towels, cute little self serve area with tea, coffee, bar fridge. We loved the extra little sweet treats. The luggage storage area was an added benefit, although the app did not work for us. It was a little dark in the apartment at times, and we needed to use to bedside lights and angle them to see. There is no lift... it was difficult to get out luggage up and down the stairs.
