Lovely stay

Very comfortable, good value, a lot of charm, convenient location, away from the hustle and bustle but a short easy bus ride into the downtown area (buses come all the time and you can pay with credit card 1.9 pounds each way).

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The place was charming. I loved my room - very much a guest house, more like a B&B than a hotel, which is what I wanted. The small decanter of Scotch in the room and the shortbread biscuits were a delightful touch. While the location might seem less than than central, it was only a short and easy bus ride from central Edinburgh - though I preferred walking up Leith Walk into town, which has lots of cafes, pubs, bookstores, used record stores, etc. along it. Suited me down to the ground

This wasn’t a very confident location with my grandmother bc there a large amount of walking to the tram and bus. But someone younger like myself it was a great location! The room was small but beautiful! The bed was comfy and the pillows were great! The staff were so friendly and accommodating and helpful! We stayed 2 nights here and we were very pleased with our stay!

We stayed here during the pandemonium that was Taylor Swift’s tour and it was exactly what we needed. Easy transportation into the city center on the tram but far enough removed from the hustle and bustle that it was very peaceful! Highly recommend. The front desk is a little unorthodox but anytime we needed to talk to someone, we called the number they provided and had help within minutes.

Excellent - clean, comfortable and great location

Great communication from Sandaig for check in and key details. Lovely, comfortable and clean room with fabulous en suite facilities and very quiet. A welcome decanter of sherry greeted us in the room which was a lovely surprise. Walking distance into Leith, Ocean Terminal and less than 5 minutes to buses that take just 20 minutes to the Royal Mile. Great location and very reasonable price. Recommend very highly and will definitely stay here again.

Sad accomodations.

I got locked out of my room right away and luckily another guest was able to get ahold of staff.They used an antiquated physical key that was unnecessarrily heavy. My bathroom was in the hallway outside of my room and was a pain to lock. There was no kitchen or bar, but an empty room that could have been used for that purpose. The price was descent. Yet, you wouldn't want to be there except to sleep. I wouldn't stay there again.

The property has some age, it also has character, the room was smaller than average, there are restaurants and bars in close proximity. Distance to downtown is a long walk, but a short cab ride. There are transportation options. I found it a bit difficult to reach the staff at the Sandaig, but they were friendly.

Great location and value

We stayed one of the ensuite rooms with vaulted ceilings and a dormer window- you just need to remember to duck ocasionaly. It's on the second floor so you need to allow for this, not a problem for most people. We were surprised how much space there was and the view over the park was lovely. The location in Leith is much closer to the city centre than it may appear as the regular (2-10 mins wait) new tram line whooshes you to the centre in 5-15 minutes. Accommodation in Edinburgh is an expensive thing most of the time and this guesthouse represents value for money. Thanks for the sherry and almond slice, nice little extras!

Sandaig is in a great location for Leith and the vibrant high street. The unmanned reception is understandable in the current day and age and arrival/check-in went smoothly. There were phone-calls to aid the process, but I did miss the friendliness of an in person welcome. The room was good, but I hadn't noticed in prior communication that my bathroom was not in the room, but accross the corridor leading to another room. I don't think other rooms had this arrangement. It wasn't a major problem, but remembering to carry your key to the loo in the middle of the night, might lead some clients getting locked out. The lovely shortbread and refreshment in the room were lovely gestures and added to the overall positive experience.

Ein charmantes Guesthouse, ruhig gelegen an einem Park. Die Zimmer sind gut eingerichtet, unser Bad lag nicht im Zimmer, das wussten wir, ist aber privat für das Zimmer und nicht mit anderen zu teilen. Es lag direkt gegenüber vom Zimmer. Die Tram station ist 10 Minuten Fußweg entfernt. In der Nähe gibt es eine gute Bäckerei und eine Supermarkt. Gute Restaurants beim Wasser, Station Shore. Beim nächsten Besuch in Edinburgh würde ich es sofort wieder buchen.
