  • Parking on Sainsbury's, Blackhall, EH4

    It was easy to find. You don't really have to speak to anyone. You can park and go. There should be plenty of parking spots available.

  • Parking on Sainsbury's, Blackhall, EH4

    Really useful app and parking was really easy to find. It only took me 8 minutes to walk to the Telford Road entrance of the Western General Hospital. Really handy and will definitely use it again

    Melanie
  • Parking on Dean Path, EH4

    Great directions. Secure location. Easy walk to town. Would definitely recommend.

    Fergus
  • Parking on Sainsbury's, Blackhall, EH4

    As sold. Spaces big enough. Car park was safe enough and ideal for the hospital. It took me 20 minutes to walk to the hospital but it was a nice day - an Uber to would be about £5. Convenient if you’re wanting to pick up a wee bit of food shopping prior to heading home.

    Yes everything was fine . I have a Peugeot 3008 and it was a neat fit so anything bigger would struggle to get in

    First time used YourParkingSpace , very pleased with the product. Clear communication both pre and post booking. Space as described and easy to find just past the Britannia hotel. Space was marked with a cone and was sufficient for a saloon.Will use again, thanks
