Our stay at Altido was to use it as a base for the fringe festival and it worked very well for this. The location is right on Leith walk with plenty of cafes, bars, shops and bus connections to the city. There was also free tea and coffee downstairs along with a pool table and some places to sit. The place itself is very new and everything is well kept.
The downside to our stay, however, was that the room looks out over Leith walk which is an extremely busy stretch of road that carries the fire engines, ambulances and various delivery trucks from their respective depots. This is not an issue if it is a cold night, but we had to choose between being hot and not being able to sleep or listening to the traffic and not being able to sleep. So this made for a hot two nights.
For the price though, especially during the fringe, it was a good value for money and was a clean place to come back to. For this reason I give 4 stars. I would just warn about the noise and how warm the room can get. I would stay again, just maybe not during the summer.
