The peace and quiet and good location for Edinburgh.
Dave, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Happy with the stay, would like to have the website updated as stated breakfast available but this is no longer an option. Bed was hard compared to my normal bed, although that could just be my preference. Luke and Andy, fantastic hosts. Would be happy to return but would choose ensuite facilitates next time.

Everything was as advertised .
Peter, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice rooms in a modernized building. Across from a park with bus access out front and a short walk to the tram.
Kenneth, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Was such a cute property. Was very convenient being right next to the bus stops. Host there was very helpful and kind. Would highly recommend staying here!
Kosei, 7-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We enjoyed our stay at Sandaig. It was close to restaurants and shopping and the tram line. Luke was very helpful and very personable. He was very prompt in replying to our requests.
Ann, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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!
Eryn, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

I booked very late and was able to communicate with someone by phone fairly quickly. It’s a big house and operates as such.
Monique, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

A nice place in a great location, close to transport, a park & nice shops. The room we stayed in was perhaps a bit more run-down than the website pictures let on (chipped paint & scuffed walls, precariously hung curtains, loud squeaky hinges on door, and a tricky knob on bathroom door). But it was clean & the complimentary sherry was a cute touch.

Andy was very responsive.
Timothy, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

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.
Kelly, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Luke was so incredibly friendly! He greeted us at the door and made us feel right at home with a tray of tea and snacks. Hotel was clean and we walked easily from the tram station. There were several cafes and bars nearby as well.
Andi, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great place
The place is great and Luke was amazing, super kind, very comfortable and in a lovely neighborhood, the park across the street is ideal for a morning walk

Very comfortable and convenient for my purposes. Would stay again.
Scott, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A quaint property in a cozy Edinburgh neighborhood. Charming well maintained old home. Comfortable bed & pillows. Super clean. Luke our host was a delight and very helpful.
Darla, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Shannon, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Had a great stay
Wonderful place to stay in Edinburgh. It is walking distance to many different spots and it is easy to reach by tram and walk. The staff was wonderful and very helpful.
Hanne Lyngholm, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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).
