“Disappointing and far”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Single Room with Shared Bathroom
- • Stayed 2 nights

눉The woman who works there was very uninviting. She barely greeted me when I arrived and didn't tell me how to get around on the busses so I had to catch ubers on my first night as she was nowhere to be found after I put my bags in my room. When I did ask her, it was like pulling out teeth for information. Location in a bus ride away from any nice areas.
눇It was relatively cheap for a solo traveller.

눉Expensive for what was offered. Small room and very small bathroom. No hairdryer and not even a wee biscuit on the tray. Did not like a jar of coffee that others had used. Parking was an issue and looked like the owners 2 cars used what parking was there as the same 2 cars did not seem to move during the whole time of my 3 night stay. £65 per night with no breakfast unless I paid another £10 meant it was not value for money.

눉Bedroom lock didn't seem too secure, but did hold close.
눇Walkable distance to old town ~1 mile I was told. Lots of public parking space around. Lovely bright bedroom with large bay window overlooking the street.

눉Beds were hard as a rock. Mold in shower. Rooms need to be refreshed.
눇Location was okay for walking or busing. But still a good 25 minute walk to Royal Mile.

눇A lovely choice of breakfasts (not included in room price) and a quiet, peaceful atmosphere. The room was clean and cozy and the staff were friendly and helpful. Free parking just around the corner made my stay so much easier and the house is very close to really fun restaurants (15 minute walk). I enjoyed my stay!

눇It's a lot cheaper than a city centre hotel, though the route into the city is well served with buses (£4 day pass / £1.60 single) hence easy access to North/south bridges and Waverley train station. Also within walking distance of Arthur's Seat if you fancy a ramble.

“A nice guest house if you are not on too tight a budget.”
- • Business trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Single Room with Bathroom
- • Stayed 4 nights
눉The staff is not so easily reachable, never got around to asking for the Wi-Fi passport. The breakfast prices seemed somewhat overly high, so I never tried it. A table or desk in the room would have been a really welcome addition, as both working or eating in the room was rather cumbersome. But then - a regular visitor would hardly need to do either of the two, and the room is not that large.
눇A clean room not far from the city centre, in a quiet neighbourhood. A shopping centre a few minutes walk away. Comparatively roomy, especially for a single guest. Facility to make one's own tea or coffee, the hospitality tray was refilled, the room was cleaned unobtrusively.

“Very pleasant stay - Typical and comfortable stylish guesthouse - We recommend it!”

눇A very stylish and comfortable room. It gave us a flavour of Edinburgh during Victorian times. We really appreciated walking in this residential district - easy access to the center of the city. Very nice host and team. Interesting information on the neighbourhood; good advice for our trip. Typical british breakfast :-)

“Aggressive Owner”
- • Solo traveler
- • Single Room with Bathroom
- • Stayed 2 nights
눉Very aggressive male owner started shouting abusively when I asked him not to take my card away to take payment, but to bring the card machine to me or take me to the machine with my card (a recommended routine security measure when paying by card, as most people know). Felt so unsafe and unwelcome that I left first thing the following morning despite having already paid for a further night. Although the accommodation itself seemed alright, I would definitely not recommend, especially for women travelling alone.

눉Breakfast is separate.
눇Staff were friendly. Room was a good size for three adults. Called ahead to make sure they were happy for us to arrive at an unsociable time. Excellent Wifi. Just walking distance to bus stop with great links to the city.
