Sandaig Guest House
Great hotel in a lovely old building in a nice part of Leith. On arriving Luke was very enthusiastic about showing us to our room and getting us settled in (the sherry was a nice touch). The room was spacious and spotlessly clean; and the hotel itself very quiet at night (which is a massive bonus for a light sleeper like me). Street parking is at a premium but we were fortunate to find a space directly across from the hotel and didn’t move the car at all during the stay. Leith Walk is a 10 minute stroll away from the hotel and has every type of coffee shop and restaurant you could want; and if you keep walking you arrive In Edinburgh in about 30 minutes. If I had to find a criticism it would be that the decor is tired and needs refreshing, things are looking a little warn for the hotel’s price. Additionally, we weren’t in the type of room we booked which was disappointing considering I had chosen the room type on the decor shown on the website (booked a superior double and we’re put in a family). Overall a great stay

We stayed here during the pandemonium that was Taylor Swift’s tour and it was exactly what we needed. Easy transportation into the city center on the tram but far enough removed from the hustle and bustle that it was very peaceful! Highly recommend. The front desk is a little unorthodox but anytime we needed to talk to someone, we called the number they provided and had help within minutes.

Great location and value
We stayed one of the ensuite rooms with vaulted ceilings and a dormer window- you just need to remember to duck ocasionaly. It's on the second floor so you need to allow for this, not a problem for most people. We were surprised how much space there was and the view over the park was lovely. The location in Leith is much closer to the city centre than it may appear as the regular (2-10 mins wait) new tram line whooshes you to the centre in 5-15 minutes. Accommodation in Edinburgh is an expensive thing most of the time and this guesthouse represents value for money. Thanks for the sherry and almond slice, nice little extras!

Luke who greeted us on our arrival was so friendly and helpful and he provided a great list of suggestions when we asked. He brought out juice and snacks for free to make sure we had something to eat. It made the whole experience a lot more friendly and welcoming. The room and private bedroom were very clean. The bed was very comfortable. Leith is a lovely area and you can get to the centre of Edinburgh quickly using buses or the tram.

Very clean and quiet. We stayed in a room with a queen bed and a twin bed. The twin bed was extremely loud and squeaky. Anytime the person sleeping on it moved in the night we all woke up due to the noise.
