2/10 Poor

I do not recommend!
Tried to contact the guest house prior to arrival but helpline kept hanging up and I never got any replies to my emails. Guest house is extremely dated with repairs needed. Toom waa not good! Stains (food or drinks) on the walls. Stain that could have been washed away but have simply been ignored. Stains and burns on the carpet. Stains on the bedding. Mold in the bathroom and rusted radiator next to toilet. I spent about an hour on site before booking another hotel online and leaving this guest house. I dont recommend!

The staff was fantastic!! The breakfast was ok. The bed was really terrible, the carpet was stained and the lamp didn't work. Overall for the price it was just ok.

10/10 Exceptional

We loved the fact you can grab a bus to take you into the city, so close. The wonderful lady in the morning got to know us and confirmed our coffee and toast order. She knew us and was so warm and friendly . This place is perfect to sleep, grab your breakfast before you head out for the day to explore Edinburgh. When you are on vacation it hits the spot and I would come back again in a heart beat and stay with you all.

Loved how close this was to Craigmillar castle and proximity to the bus stop.
Stefania, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Where trying to get into the building was stressful due to a lack of connection to Expedia systems, once we were in the lady was helpful n attentive. The room was all we needed and was clean n tidy. It could do with a make over. Otherwise a great place to stay n close to the bus which was easy to use.

Arden guest house Edinburgh.
When we walked in and seen all the carpet stained and loose, we thought what will the room be like. It was marginally better. Very dated and needs a lot of work. Breakfast was nice.
Tim, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

It was a good experience overall.
Nancy, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

This place is filthy. The room smelled like sour milk, dirty carpeting, dirty bathroom. You will have a better bang for your buck at a hostel. This place is not convenient - zero pubs, restaurants, stores around.
Laura, 2-night trip

Dirty and noisy
The room was poorly cleaned and dirty. The place is located next to a busy road which made it noisy all night.

This guest house is in a good location for visiting the hospital, but it is in need of a revamp the stair carpet is in need of replacing it is totally worn out the electric socket in my room was broken and i did not chance using it. You had to put the kettle on the floor as the flex was too short. And in the 2 days i was there I never saw a member of staff, I had to phone the hotels number to ask someone a question. For the price of this guest house per night it was disappointing

The toilet in our room did not flush, and the mugs were dirty when we checked in.

4/10 Fair

Disappointing stay
For the cost, give this one a skip. The place is very run down, very smelly (maybe a plumbing issue?), WiFi was intermittent, and check in process was sketchy and unclear. Continental breakfast was decent, so that was a plus (cereal, toast, boiled egg)… Honestly, was ready to leave first thing in the morning. Would not have stayed a second night if we had booked longer.
