Absolutely lovely place! Staff was very accommodating and helpful. Room was pristine and the shared bathroom was kept clean and stocked with toilet paper. So many nice little touches to 4 Friends that made our first ever stay in Scotland one to remember! Great location close to lots of little things and easy access to the bus to get further into Edinburgh. Can’t say enough good about here!
The room was well maintained the only issue we have was the people in the shared bathroom but that was our own fault for getting a shared room nothing against 4 Friends. We loved loved Lukas he was an amazing host and truly enjoyed his job and was very accommodating! I would definitely recommend.
Probably the best place to stay in when in Edinburgh , will definetely come back and stay here again!
Very clean and well located space. Quiet and well equiped, nothing to envy from hotels that charge way more and offer way less.
A very beautiful old Victorian building kept up well and very comfortable. My room was on the 3rd floor so Eric and Lucas generously toted my suitcase up and down for me on their suggestion. Close to the Royal Britannia yacht attraction, Leith water walkway and an excellent Indian restaurant. Co-op right across the street, free continental breakfast items available to guests. Bed was very comfy and shower was excellent, quiet location and can't say enough about how friendly and helpful the staff was. Thoroughly enjoyed my short stay and highly recommend!

We had a wonderful greeting when we arrived. They offered plenty of helpful ideas for our visit. Room was clean and comfortable.
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!
Myself and my friends really enjoyed our stay at 4 friends house. It was really reasonable, very clear, good location, good transport into the city, staff were accommodating and overall excellent.
4 Friends are a lovely bunch of individuals who will make your stay and experience memorable. A warm and hospitable accommodation in Leith with great bus connections to all of Edinburgh 😌
