All in all a nice pub to stay in, 44 bus outside takes you into the city, takes awhile but if your looking for somewhere slightly cheaper than the city centre, this is a nice place to stay for a couple of nights. Food was great, staff great, very quiet at night considering it's a pub. If you do stay here and get the 44 from Edinburgh the stop you require is curries library and the pub is opposite on the right.

If you need a place to stay to catch a next day flight this is a good place. Don't expect luxury, you can't beat the price compared to other hotels motels around Edinburgh. The place is attached to a pub/restaurant that has excellent food and drinks.

A great overnight stay when doing the Leith Walk. Nice bar, good proper grub in the evening. No breakfast available but we knew that so no issue and there are cafes nearby. Bathroom needs a bit of a freshen up but was clean enough. Would certainly stay again as good value for money.

Stayed in one of five small rooms behind this bar and restaurant. Price was right, staff friendly and was quiet too. It's about six miles from center city but right on a major, frequent bus route. Adequate lighting, pretty clean, good wifi, might have been a signal issue with TV but that might have been a setting too. There was only soap and no shampoo on the bathroom which was a little disappointing. The bathroom fan also didn't work and there was lots of peeling paint in there. Carpet was a little old. Radiator heat and bathroom heater but no AC. It had a kettle, tea and coffee and a hair dryer. There was a closet with many hangers and a four drawer bureau. I would stay again.
