“This house impressed me with its seamless blend of convenience and considerate touches; I think its location, near bus lines connecting the city, makes getting around simple. While breakfast isn't served, I noted their partnerships with local cafés offer a discount. The gesture of providing printing assistance late at night also struck me as particularly thoughtful.”

Reviews and Ratings

What past guests shared about their stay
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
4 Friends House enjoys a great location in the Leith area, with convenient access to bus routes (7/14) right outside and the tram within a 10-18 minute walk for airport connections and easy access to the city centre. The rooms are often described as spacious and spotless, and some include thoughtful extras like ear plugs and complimentary breakfast ingredients in the shared kitchenette. Some guests have found the walk to Princes Street a bit long at 45 minutes, though the bus provides a quicker alternative. Overall, guests appreciate the cleanliness and available facilities.

amazin stay!

friendly staff clear instructions local restaurant great effort
the staffs are super friendly and considerate. they helped store our luggage when we had a break to visit a place. they even placed it back in the room before we returned. it saved us so much effort. the front desk gave clear instructions and recommended a lovely local restaurant.
the window was too heavy. the heating cant be controlled. the cleaner kept wedging the fire door open. it had a big sticker on it.
