Lovely comfortable, spacious room. Lots of really great coffee spots nearby and some amazing food options without the tourist tax of the city centre. I will definitely stay again next time we're up.

8/10 Very good

A very convenient place close to the attractions. The place needs a bit of renovation but is located in a good area. Can use some comfortable mattresses as the current ones are not good and the bathroom fan was too loud.

No staff about but sort of worked
Useful location but on arrival no one there and had to call to get access. Not very welcoming. High degree of utility. Nice artworks. Didn’t see any staff at all when I left so went on my way leaving the key as indicated in a glass jar

Beautiful old building. Local neighborhood feel. Great porridge. Hot showers. Very clean and modern bathroom. Our room was at the back and so very quiet. Restaurants to walk to. Owners were very pleasant and helpful. Easy to get to city center via bus. Enjoyed our stay.

Walkable distance to Royal Mile, very clean, pleasant staff. Property is tired tho and could use fresh coat of paint and decor update. Would stay here again.
Laurel, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Too expensive, impression was possibly a two-star place with hard beds, noisy rooms and sloppy painted / decorated. Breakfast could at least be included.

8/10 Very good

Management responded instantly so I believe they are very invested in their customers. I think the bed mattress should be upgraded. The bathroom floor in our room was a bit water logged and grout needed to be cleaned. I do think this is a safe hotel with a good rate per night.

Thank you so much for a lovely stay and for your help with storing my bag! I hope to be back soon!
Elizabeth, 1-night trip

Staff were very friendly and the location was great. A short bus ride into central Edinburgh and reasonable fares. The guest house was a little run down, but very clean and charming. our room was at the front of the guest house and i was expecting traffic noise, but it was very quiet and we had a good nights sleep.
