Loved our room, the breakfast room, all of the friendly guests and especially Simon, who was so helpful and welcoming. It is in a perfect location - just a few minutes from the heart of Edinburgh by six or so busses but quiet with great locale restaurants if you want to escape the tourist areas.

Great location, near a bus stop and a park path to the old town. We walked into the Royal Mile/city centre every day which took about 45 minutes each way, the bus was a very easy option for getting to/from the airport (2 buses with an easy changeover). Highly recommend the Hare of the Dog pub about 15 mins' walk away, it's open late and has a great vibe. Breakfast was good and the owners were kind enough to make us some extra eggs and toast as it was a tad small for us.
