Perfect spot for getting round the city with the no. 11 bus right outside! Room spacious and kept in the best possible condition. Have to pay extra for breakfast but worth it, however plenty of choices close by.

Good location, short walk to restaurants and cafe food. Very quiet except the fire alarm went off in the middle of the night for a few seconds. Never got an explanation.

Great place for a great price. Staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful, the room was clean, sizable and well equipped, and the location while a bit far from the city center was directly across from a bus stop into the city. Breakfast was also standout, and I’d recommend getting it as the nearby cafes are mediocre at best.

Could not be happier with our stay at Froach House in Edinburgh! From the moment that two rather exhausted travellers showed up on the doorstep, Dylan took us in and was exceptionally helpful. The house is wonderful and cozy, and perfectly situated in the neighborhood to grab either bus or tram and explore the city, or find a cafe or pub and relax. We stayed on the top floor, giving us beautiful breezes and sunsets to enjoy, an extremely comfortable bed, and hot tea to make in the room. We could not have asked for a better place to stay, nor better service from our host. A younger generation raised on only Airbnb and self check-ins will not realize how great staying in a well-run bed and breakfast is. Froach House is a 10/10.

Very enjoyable stay; excellent room & facilities, well treated & close to all Leith has to offer while the city centre is a no. 11 bus ride away, a fiver day pass getting you the tram as well. Worth the £12 for breakfast, lots of alternatives within walking distance but what you get is worth the cost!

Compact unit, not very roomy but clean, good to stay a few days for 2 people. Staff were very friendly and helpful. 25 minute walk to city, plenty of pubs and restaurants nearby. Bus stops outside property (bus # 11) from the city and bustop to city is across the road. 5 minute walk to tram which will take you to the airport. Good location, well worth staying.
