Absolutely gorgeous property — new and chic. Lovely area with nice local discounts at partner restaurant (Mara). They accommodated our early check in and were very responsive. Great place to stay, great value.

I loved this place! Gorgeous, spacious, well-appointed room & luxurious bath. My only qualm was that there was no lift…the stairs are lovely, but difficult to navigate with luggage.

Immaculate & beautifully designed. We were so surprised! Don’t be put off by the lower stars, it’s just very new. Would highly recommend - possibly the best UK stay we have had!!! Oh and the best shower ever.

This was one of the best properties we've had during our stay. Access to all the things we needed and all the places we wanted to go was amazing. Having the City Cab Taxi call right there in the lobby was inspired and a very classy move! The room was great, but the bathroom was spectacular! We would definitely return to 3 Johns Place.

Great to see Leith receiving investment. Accommodation was in a good location and central for everything we needed. Check-in/out times were variable when we booked it but I'm sure as this is a new property this will easily be fixed. Enjoyed our stay and would recommend.

Very modern and stylish guesthouse, highly comfortable bed. While no staff on site, the team could easily be reached and provided support, as there was an issue with the access code. All the doors close pretty loud unfortunately.

We were in Edinburgh for an extra few nights unexpectedly and booked “3 Johns Place” last minute. We absolutely loved it! The bed was comfortable, the room was spotless, the shower was new and modern. I would give it more stars if I could.
Easy check-in, accommodating staff, beautiful facility. 12/10.
We are slowly becoming anti-Air Bnb folks because of accommodations like this. A+ 3 Johns Place.

Very lovely place ! Looks like entering a mansion with a beautiful gated front lawn. The room I was in was in the basement and could have been better ventilated. It had all the amenities needed for a traveller and it was very clean. There were no elevators so it might be a problem for some people. The staff were very nice and responsive and made their best to make our stay as comfortable as possible.

Nice place with well finished rooms and good service from staff. We really liked the north our hood including the nice community cafe and park across the street. It was an also a short walk from the tram as well as grocery stores and restaurants. We also liked that the staff were diligent in cleaning the room daily and restocked the complementary teas, coffee, water and biscuits.
A couple minor complaints. The room we stayed in (Sailmaker) was in the basement with no window to the outside. This wasn’t clear in the room description though it should be highlighted more overtly as some may feel closed in without a window. The humidity level was also quite high in the room to the point where everything felt a bit damp. Installing a dehumidifier in the room would be helpful in addressing this. Regardless, we still had a good stay at 3 John’s Place.

Our stay at 3 John's Place was great. The Whalebone room was spacious and tidy, with a great view of the street and park. Amanda was super attentive and helpful via text and made our stay easy. She helped with an early check-in when we arrived earlier than expected and helped with storing our luggage on our depature day so we could explore more of the city before our flight. If/when we go back to Edinburgh we'll definitely look to book again!
