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.

The room was very small, smallest I’ve stayed in at a hotel. We did not sleep well due to a light flashing from the smoke alarm flashing non stop every minute. We reported this only to be told they knew it was faulty before letting the room to us and told there was nothing they could do. It is hard to understand how the staff thought this was ok, or why they did not have a maintenance team who could fix the problem in a timely way. Having a bad nights sleep is unacceptable. The room was clean enough, the shower was good. The windows where very dirty and there was scaffolding outside the window. I would not stay here again and would not recommend.

Location for the hotel was excellent, a quick tram ride into town or a 30min walk. There were also plenty of cafes, bars and shops nearby. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom clean with a very good shower. However, the tiny sink made it difficult and the general cramped nature of the room also was tricky. The main downside for us however was the uncomfortably warm temperature. We turned our radiator down to zero but still the room was stiflingly hot at all times, and the window would not stay open, so we had to wedge something there to get a breeze in. The room was also not at all private, with the window looking out immediately to the gate for guests to enter and exit. Some blinds/frosted glass/net curtains would have allowed more privacy. There were also lots of marks on floor, walls and furniture giving a very tired look. It was fine for a short stay and we didn't spend much time in the accommodation so didn't bother us too much, but the heat did prevent us from having good quality sleep. There is also no one in reception except for hours when as a guest, you are typically out exploring (12-8). A tip for other guests regarding parking - there is pay and display parking in nearby streets (free on Sundays) but you can drop bags by the hotel as the street is quite quiet, and then go to park in the free street parking around the Easter Road Football Grounds (around 15mins walk away) as long as you're comfortable leaving your car on the street (we had no issues).

This location and hotel were perfect for my short stay as a solo traveler. The bathroom was clean, the staff was the absolute best, they had delicious cookies in the room and candy at reception. The women at the reception were knowledgeable, sweet, caring and helpful. I would definitely come back here if I'm in Edinburgh. The location is walkable; you can walk to the closest tram/bus stations and have tons of shopping and dining options you could walk to and make the most out of your time in Edinburgh.

We stayed in an accessible room as it was the only room available for our dates.
The bed was positioned against the wall so making it difficult and inconvenient for the second person.
The bathroom was very smelly, constant damp as the extractor fan didn't work and you couldn't open the window that was covered in black mould. Not a good situation for anyone, especially medically vulnerable.
The hotel is in a pretty good position for accessing the city if you're happy to walk (we did 11 miles) and there are loads of cafés eateries on Leith Walk.

Parking has been nightmare, i guess i didn't see any reviews on it. Had to park in a multistorey and get a cab over. Not great having a open floir shower. Overall, paid four star prices for a 2 hotel.

I liked the access code system for getting into your room, very good for flexibility. Nice room and very clean. However, I found the staff difficult to contact & the mattress was like a hammock, needs replacing.

Our stay for a night was ok but it's not the worth of money you spend for a night. We could have got more in this budget. Like free parking and breakfast.

There was hair clogging the shower. The towel were torn, and the bathroom bin was not empty.
There was no breackfast included, even though i rented the room because of that and was charged a wooping 250pounds per day.

Absolutely tiny room. Window looked out to patio area where people sat...so curtains had to be closed all the time, as they could see in. Room located by front door, so the noise was constant with peolple banging the door on exit or entry. Toilet had broken flush. Area in hallway outside room was used by people to meet up, and again, noise was constant. The sink in bathroom was so small, it was difficult to refill the kettle. The room was clean, which was good, but all in all we had a miserable stay. Would definitely not stay here again.

Started of really good. Nice people in the reception, when they were there. Last day however, our door cards stopped working at 10.45. Check out time was 11. No one in reception and it took us around 40min to get in touch with the emergency number so we could check out of our room. So, all in all good location, price is good, but costomer support when needed. One of the emergency phones was actually left behind in the unattended lobby.

The location is great. However, Room 4 is very small and the bed is old and sags in the middle, so very uncomfortable.
