Relax Guest House  

Staff were very friendly

This is a budget hotel with no luxury at all.. Value for money, though!

Located near all major attractions

Road works outside guest house

Was on a night out in Edinburgh and decided at the last minute to stay over if I could find some cheap and cheerful digs. I was single but got upgraded to a double room. The room was large, roomy and clean. Nice view of the park at the rear of the hotel. The guy booking me in was very friendly.

Decor was tired but what can yopu expect for £40. I thought it was funny that there were numerous empty shampoo bottles etc in the bathroom - but everything was clean. Breakfast smelt lovely but you had to there before 9am (not negotiable) thought I could have got toast after 9am. I did not get in until after 3am, so 9am was not going to happen. Its quite a walk up the hill to the city centre, so you may wish to book a cab.

Although the location was a touch away from the heart of Edinburgh, the room was excellent, the breakfast was also lovely, and the staff seemed friendly.

The bathroom was a bit tiny, and wasn't 100% clean.

The food was excellent. Great choice for breakfast. Freshly cooked. The staff were really friendly.

The room wasn't a very good standard, although it was peaceful and quiet and the bed was comfortable and warm. There was a taped repair on the main door, which wasn't bad but didn't look very attractive, a double electrical socket came away from the wall, and I managed to get locked out of the bathroom. It was also at the very top of the house with no lift, although there's a stairlift to the first floor for disabled or elderly visitors. But for the price I got it at, it was fine. I'm not complaining, just pointing things out that could be improved quite cheaply. Though not room access. Access was fine for te able bodied and kept me fit.

The staff was very helpful.

I was on the top floor and walking up steep stairs was required.

It seems you are just in the comforts of your room. It is quiet and cozy .

We have just returned from a weekend break at the Relax Guest House which we all thoroughly enjoyed. The staff were very friendly and helpful and created a lovely relaxed atmosphere. The rooms were very spacious, clean and nicely decorated with good on suite facilities, the beds were comfortable and the breakfast was very good. Although situated a little out of the main centre it was only a ten minute walk to Princes street which is no hassle. We felt the price was spot on for the facilities provided and we would definately return again!!

Breakfast was good.

Low cost B&B but had a good nights sleep, good location, friendly and informal style of staff. I think good value

Some of the fabric could be refreshed, but for low cost it was good value. While fabric was a bit "tired" it was clean.Breakfast only served from 7.45- bit late if you have early business meeting - there was self service but milk and orange juice left from previous day, and was a bit off

We needed to eat breakfast before 7am & the host said he would leave buffet breakfast for us but he did more - he served us & made porridge which was really appreciated

The room was pleasant but needed more investment; the shower cubicle was falling apart & the kettle inside was so dirty/needed descaling that couldn't use it

Distance from the main station. Accessible on foot and bus.

Regrettably, my room was faced to the min road, on wichi cars run with tyre noise alol thourgh the night.The road surface was of small stones, which is historical and standard in Europe, so it may not be inevitable, though.
