An absolute gem of a guest house

My room and bed was very comfortable. There is also a reception room with lots of lovely touches, such as breakfast items, toaster, microwave and various books and games.

Too far from city center

Too far from city center. We booked two nights, but left after one. The cost of the Uber ride one way was $17.81 to city center. Closest restaurant a 16 minute walk.

I had a great stay at 4 Friends. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. Loved the location - 4 Friends is perfectly situated for exploring Leith. Would definitely stay at 4 Friends again.

Fint sted

Lovely room facing the street. It was fine for me, but not ideal for anyone sensitive to noise. The main issue was that people across the street could see directly into the room. There were only heavy dark curtains, which made the room very dark. It would be a good idea to add some light curtains as well. The staff were incredibly sweet, and the room was nicely cleaned. Great area if you want to stay away from the touristy city center.

The location was really comfortable and spotlessly clean! There is a bus stop right outside with easy access to the town center and all activities. I really liked it there a lot and will certainly stay there again whenever I am in Edinburgh again. Moreover, the people who run this location are so very helpful and kind, it feels like you are visiting family!

I can’t say enough good things about this place. The staff were so incredibly friendly, it was easily accessible from the city centre by the number 7, 14 or 11 buses and it’s quiet. The bed was super comfy and all other amenities were excellent. I was pretty jet lagged so I appreciated coming to this quiet area and resting. Thank you for everything and I will for sure be back!

My room was quite small, but the bed was good. WiFi was good, the shared bathroom (for 3 rooms) is new, very spacious, very clean (as is the room), the staff is very friendly. If you only need a place to stay overnight, it's ok.

This is a well run and maintained establishment with good facilities. It is on good bus lines into the CBD and there is a local market right across the street. There is free street parking which does fill up by 8pm but even after that there is street parking to be found within a block or two.

It’s brand new - only open two days when I stayed! The ‘4 friends’ were very attentive, friendly and helpful. Hopefully, they will make a great success of their venture.

8/10 Very good

Me and my sisters stayed here and had a lovely stay. Pros: very affordable, feels safe, friendly staff, great water pressure in the shower, and close to the bus stop, restaurants, and a local grocery store. Cons: not super comfy beds, small room, and lots of narrow stairs to get to the top floor. We stayed here because of the price. It was what we needed at the time, just a safe place to rest our heads as we were out exploring Edinburgh all day and didn't intend to spend much time on our room.
