"Great location, large room with great amenities. Staff friendly and approachable plus they accommodated us with luggage so we didn’t have to drag it around with us on our check out day."

"This is not a hotel. It is more like a hostel for people with money. If you don’t mind sharing a bathroom and shower with other male & female guests with no running water in your sleeping room then select them. It was NOT what I was expecting and was an uncomfortable stay. I do not recommend unless you like a room without an attached bathroom."

"Good location, received clear instructions and room was quiet and was overlooking a small garden. The bed was a bid wobbly though. Pictures gave the impression of a higher quality accommodation. It was overall okay but not fully what I expected."

"This guest house is in a great location. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was large and clean. The bathroom was quite tight, especially the shower and the bed was a bit springy. Overall great option at this price point."

"We had the best stay at Crescent House! The location, the home, and most importantly, Paul and Michael were absolutely amazing. Even before our trip, they were so helpful and accommodating. It’s such a special home filled with love, and from the moment you walk in, you feel a sense of calm and warmth.
My partner and I stayed in the Calton Suite, which was perfect and had a beautiful view. Every morning we had a lovely breakfast spread. On our last day, when we had to leave early so they...

"Lovely big room, full of character, clean and well equipped. Convenient location. No staff onsite but that wasn't a problem at all - there was good communication and regular updates."

"Luxurious and cosy at the same time! Very close to the city center and not far from the airport, so very easy to get around either by bus (very efficient ones) or walking. The bathroom is magnificent, very comfy bed, great breakfast, it was perfect. Really great value too! "

The space was unuque and beautiful. Definite old world charm. The staff was helpful with suggestions, and friendly. The common spaces were very nice. I would say the room is good for sleeping, but just be aware they are very tiny rooms. It was exactly what we needed, but if I wanted to stay at a place where I'd be in my room a lot I would probably choose something else. But since my room was just for sleeping I would stay here again because I liked all the other spaces.

Whilst we were there just for an overnight, this was a LOVELY B & B in Edinburgh, beautifully appointed, with a very gracious host. It's a bit far from the city center, but it is easily accessed by bus. We wished we could have stayed longer!

Perfect place for our trip to Edinburgh! We loved staying in Leith as a way to decompress from our busy city days. The neighborhood was quiet, charming, and beautiful. The hospitality at 3 John’s was exceptional. We would happily stay here again.

Our room was cosy and was spacious. It was downstairs and was clean and served with making sure having coffee, toilette paper etc.
Parking works well.
Very walkable distance from the royal mile.

We were a very last minute reservation as our flight was unexpectedly cancelled. The owners were incredibly welcoming & kind. The rooms are small but cozy & each has an en-suite bathroom. Enormous & well equipped kitchen for all residents to use. Short walk to public transportation.

I do not even know where to begin. Richard and his wife (who I am not sure how to spell her name, so I will not attempt) are the most kind and gracious of hosts. They allowed me to check in early and even upgraded my room at no cost to me for two nights. This upgrade was their own doing, I did not request it. Richard gave me a wonderful run down of buses, directions, taxi services, everything I would need to get started on my most dazzling vacation of Edinburgh. The rooms were cozy, warm,...

We were able to reach the property on foot after getting off the tram at Haymarket Station. Took less than 5 minutes. We were given a code ahead of time for the front door and our room and we appreciated that they were the same so you don’t have to try and remember so many numbers. Our room was on the first floor, no elevators guys, but it wasn’t a problem for us because we only had two carry ons. The room was small but clean and the bed extra comfy!
