8/10 Very good

Great location, very convenient for good restaurants and bars, buses and trams. Hotel was basic but suited our needs as we spent most of the time out in Edinburgh. Room dmall but comfortable.
Robert, 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.

We loved this hotel! Perfect place to stay for couple of days. Was very clean and very easy to find. Couple min walk from any kind of transport. So many cafes and nice local pubs and restaurants around. Would definitely recommend.

Don’t stay here!

From the moment we arrived we were disappointed. The front entry courtyard has trash, broken umbrella and chicken bones scattered. We were then shown our room by the receptionist/housekeer, she was very nice and I felt bad because she has to deal with unhappy people, then it was downhill. The photos online are deceptive in my option. The room has only a skylight, no window. The bathroom has no window or fan. It smelled terrible and she proceeded to spray it with some floral air fresher. The third bed was so uncomfortable. No housekeeping until you checkout. When we arrived we asked to speak to the manager who was never onsite, if we could cancel and that we were happy to pay the first night and they would not. Really put a damper on our trip!

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.

10/10 Exceptional

Great wee place to stay. Friendly staff. Great tea and coffees facilities in room and very comfy bed. Quiet around area too
Ashleah, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

This is the only place on my trip that I regretted staying at, and we stayed at 7 different places.The room wasn't ready at 4:00 pm check-in, even after I had requested an early check-in 24 hours in advance. The service was bad. There is a red blinking light on the smoke detector that made it difficult to sleep. No curtains so the light came shining through and woke us up earlier than we wanted The only positive was the location, but the other factors outweighed this. Don't stay here.
Shannon, 2-night trip

The front desk lady was so nice! She expedited my room so I can check in early. It was a good stay, quiet, and public transport was close by.

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.
