Vahdet, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Wonderful little spot for our quick stay in Edinburgh. The room was spotless and comfortable, with some local beer as a welcome present and a kettle to make coffee/tea. The location was extremely convenient with some excellent cafes and restaurants in the area and just steps away from bus/tram stops for easy access to the Old Town and Waverly Station. They also offer free luggage storage which was super convenient when were checking out in the morning and had some time to explore before our train in the evening. The only small downside was no AC in the room which got a bit hot during the day, but wasn't a problem in the evening.

This isn't a fancy pants hotel but I would happily come back to it. The room was ready at 4 but it was possible for us to store our luggage from 12. The room was more than large enough for us, two adults and two children, queen bed and a sofa bed. The wet room was built to be accessible for wheelchair users. There was a slight drainy smell but it was fine once you ran water through the system eg after a shower. There wasn't a fridge in the room but tea and coffee that you were welcome to top up. It is situated off the Leith road which is has every type of cuisine conceivable so you won't go hungry. Very comprehensive transport links into town, or buses/ tram but also very walkable. All in all it is fairly priced for what it is. However the best thing about this hotel was the staff. They were so friendly and really wanted to be as helpful as possible. Honestly I would come back for them alone, really lovely people all of them.

An urban hotel located on a cul-de-sac. Conveniently located along the tram line. A very clean, small room. It has an updated bathroom with a rain shower. Nice. The exterior needs some TLC.

Ideally placed on the tram link from.airport but still walkable up to the port and into the city. Lots of dining options on Leith road. Room was just as needed for a 2 night stop over to explore the area.

Smith Place Hotel is no frills but was comfortable and the room was a good size. The only issue we had was that the wifi was very intermittent.
