Perfect spot for getting round the city with the no. 11 bus right outside! Room spacious and kept in the best possible condition. Have to pay extra for breakfast but worth it, however plenty of choices close by.

Great place for a great price. Staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful, the room was clean, sizable and well equipped, and the location while a bit far from the city center was directly across from a bus stop into the city. Breakfast was also standout, and I’d recommend getting it as the nearby cafes are mediocre at best.

Compact unit, not very roomy but clean, good to stay a few days for 2 people. Staff were very friendly and helpful. 25 minute walk to city, plenty of pubs and restaurants nearby. Bus stops outside property (bus # 11) from the city and bustop to city is across the road. 5 minute walk to tram which will take you to the airport. Good location, well worth staying.

The Fraoch House is a very quaint house. The bedroom and bathroom was was clean. I took a star off because the property is a little dated overall. But I was very happy with the proximity to the royal mile and convenience overall.

Very enjoyable stay; excellent room & facilities, well treated & close to all Leith has to offer while the city centre is a no. 11 bus ride away, a fiver day pass getting you the tram as well. Worth the £12 for breakfast, lots of alternatives within walking distance but what you get is worth the cost!
