How this review was built Evidence, sources, refresh cadence
- Evidence: 2 pet-mention guest reviews sourced from Agoda - guests who explicitly mentioned travelling with a dog. Each review is screened for pet-relevance, then judged for sentiment to compute the paw rating.
- Not a personal visit. We don't stay at every hotel we cover - we summarise patterns from real guest reviews, paraphrased and never quoted verbatim. Full standard on our editorial policy page.
- Wider context: The property has 47 Agoda guest reviews overall, averaging 9.2/10 - the paw rating reflects only the pet-mentioning subset.
- Last refreshed: June 2026. Policies and pricing drift; we re-check on a rolling basis. Confirm specifics with the property at the moment you book.
- How the paw rating works: Full detail on the methodology page, including the three verification gates and known limitations.

Pet-friendly summary
This B-listed converted whisky bond at Commercial Wharf is one of Edinburgh's more characterful dog-friendly self-catering options - a Grade-B listed Victorian industrial building converted into apartments, with the kind of architectural detail you don't find in newer-build flats. Two guest reviews specifically endorse the dog welcome, with one highlighting 'great outdoor space for dogs and next to river for walks' and the other calling out the off-street parking with garden access.
The location at Commercial Wharf puts the flat right on the Water of Leith - meaning you walk out of the door onto a river-walk that runs miles in either direction. For visitors with dogs who want flat, low-impact daily exercise away from city pavements, that's a meaningful daily-use benefit. Trams and buses to central Edinburgh are a few minutes' walk away; Leith's restaurant and café strip is closer still.
The B-listed status means the apartment retains period features - exposed beams, original brickwork in some flats. The 2-bedroom layout works for couples or small families with a dog. Off-street parking is the standout practical feature for Edinburgh visitors with a car. Two pet-endorsing reviews from 47 total at a 9.2 Agoda rating is solid signal density for the area.
Where it suits
An excellent fit for couples or small families with one dog who want a characterful Edinburgh base with river walks at the door. The combination of Grade-B listed architecture, off-street parking, garden access, and water-side dog walks is hard to find in central Edinburgh self-catering. Best for guests who value daily-walk variety (river vs city pavements) and don't mind a tram ride for sightseeing days.
