4/10 Fair

The location of the property was fantastic. Close to town, shops, restaurants, and tourist locations. The owner represented the property accordingly in photos and did say it was a basement unit. Unfortunately, the room was extremely small with no room for luggage. Very musty smell and bathroom had mold on ceiling and tiles in shower. The comforter was not even long enough to reach to the bottom of the top mattress. Luckily, there was a wool blanket in the cabinet. A proper size comforter would be helpful. Taylor Swift had just left town and I feel that the price of the room was very overpriced for the first two days we were there. Room price Mon, Jun 10 £207.50 Tue, Jun 11 £207.50 Wed, Jun 12 £108.33 Taxes £104.67 With a little more attention to detail, this location could be a great spot for a stay.

While I liked a lot about the property, one thing that not enough hotels and guest stays offer is multiple outlets/surge protectors. At Guest Lantern there were at least four surge protectors in my room. It seems like a small thing but it matters and made my stay easier. Of note, the upstairs family has young kiddos who run/jump ~7-9am, so holiday sleep ins aren't possible, if that's something you're into.

Great Place and Great Location
Clean, comfortable, and spacious room. Great location as well. Right around the corner are many restaurants and cafes. Every morning I went to KUNA for excellent coffee and savory pastries. They also have sweets. The one thing you should know about the room is that the steps leading down to the room are steep.

Really enjoyed our 3 nights stay in the Lantern Guest House. Accommodation is very centrally located within walking distances to main attractions (25-30 mins) and with plenty of dining options around it. Hosts were very responsive and provided all required information for check in. Room was clean and had everything we need for short stay.

Great Stay - You'll like this one!
We loved our stay at the Lantern Inn Guest House! It was only 10 minutes from the bus station and 12 from Waverly Railway station, without a bunch of confusing turns. There are many places to eat within a block, and we found a 'favorite restaurant': Mama Roma. The room was so nice, clean, and roomy; and we loved the ensuite bathroom. We were very comfortable there. A small refrigerator was dedicated to our use, with cold water and milk supplied! There was a microwave available and even some dishes we could use. We didn't have those any other place we stayed so it was a great surprise. Richard, our host, was very friendly and anxious to help us. He gave good instructions and always seemed to be around when we had a question. We stayed 4 nights and would have been happy to be there longer if our plans had allowed. With such a good price, great features, comfortable room, and convenient location, we couldn't have done any better. I would definitely choose Lantern Guest House again if I return to Edinburgh.

A great location, the room was nice and came with a fridge. The host was also responsive and helpful. The only thing I didn't love was that since the room was in a "basement" it did smell a little damp.

Will happily return!
What a fantastic place to stay. Brilliant location, barely 10 minutes walk from Waverley station and virtually right on the doorstep for the Playhouse and countless bars and restaurants, yet blissfully quiet in the evening. Easy access with a door code to come and go as you please and undoubtedly the most comfortable hotel bed I've ever slept in! Only spoke briefly with Richard after he came out of his way to see if we were enjoying our stay, but clearly nothing is too much to ask and the milk/water left in the fridge outside of the room were a nice touch. Would definitely look to stay here again on our next visit to Edinburgh.

Very pleasant stay. Clean and comfortable and walking distance from Waverley Station. In a quiet side street but close enough to a busy road with plenty of bus stops, shops and cafes. A couple of minutes walk to Calton hill.

A great location...super close to many restaurants and cafes. 15 minute walk to the train station and the shopping of the miracle mile. Very quiet side street. Richard the owner was extremely helpful and accommodating. First class service!! The only downside was a shower a bit small for my 6ft 215 pound bulk. Will stay again next time in Edinburgh.

Enjoyable stay in Edinburgh
We did not expect a Guest House was that clean and quiet. It was convenience to use the pre-set code (sent by email beforehand) to access to the Guest House and room. Also, the location was good and convenient to most of the attractions in the city center. We enjoyed the stay and particularly the welcoming of the Guest House manager (his name is Richard - hope that we were right).
