the room cleaning service happened on request and was thorough i appreciated that. the room i stayed in was generously sized which allowed me to move around comfortably. the proximity to the ocean terminal shops was a definite bonus. i also found the nearby whisky distillery interesting and easily accessible.
The plumbing was a bit noisy i could hear when other guests used the facilities at night. This occasionally disrupted my sleep but it was nothing major.

practical stay close to leith walk
easy reachtram accessown keysingle key
The location is very convenient. It's easy to reach both the train and bus stations. i got around with the tram down leith walk. i had my own key, and it was great that there wasn't breakfast but lots of places to eat nearby. it was simple to get a day ticket for the tram at £5.
I was given only one key. This made it a little difficult when i went different ways than my companion. i think it would be better if they provide two keys to each room.
