Asda Leith, EH6
Easy to find. You just turn up the asda and park in any space. Only cost us a tenner for 5 days parking which is brilliant. We planned on getting the bus into the centre but it was freezing and cost us about 8 quid in a taxi

Parking on Couperfield, EH6
Parking space was easy to find. Car was left unattended for the whole 7 days. Car was as it was left when collected. Had no need to speak to owner.

Asda Leith, EH6
Will use again. Bus stop 2 mins front of Asda several buses take you to Princess Street. Taxi back £13 from Hotel as raining heavily still far cheaper than parking in City Centre.

Parking on Premier Inn Edinburgh Leith (Newhaven Quay), EH6
Had no problems leaving the car here for 3 nights over a weekend. We were staying in the centre of Edinburgh and there is a bus stop across the road (no.10) to Princes Street - with more buses available a couple of streets away. Considering the cost (£11.25) compared with the train we usually get (£100+) and the fact that our train stop got cancelled this time, with 3 weeks notice, I would definitely use this service again. Located in a lit area and overlooked by flats, it felt safe to leave. Our only issue was with the roadworks and recent construction work, Google maps had us driving around in circles.
