Staff was friendly and informative at check-in. Breakfast was not officially provided, but all the makings of a continental breakfast were available in the kitchen (included) - breads, pastry, fruit, juice, coffee. It's a small property so the staff aren't always waiting for arrivals so try to give them a good idea of when you will arrive to avoid them not being available. Easy access from the tram and a nice walk to Leith or into Edinburgh.

Great location to get into the centre of Edinburgh via a tram or bus, or to get to the cafes and pubs in The Shore area. The staff were friendly and informative. The parking was good and seemed to be ample places. The provision of complimentary drinks and snacks was a bonus. Will stay here again when we next visit Edinburgh.
