Staff were lovely, room and bed was spacious for a single. Price for 3 nights good

Jo, United Kingdom

Easy check in. Really enjoyed an evening walk in Edinburgh. The view from the rooms window was delightful. We were lucky to get the last onsite park. Breakfast in the conservatory was very enjoyable.

Ross, Australia

Excellent breakfast, clean rooms, great shower, comfy beds and parking outside. Good location for exploring the sites.

Steve, United Kingdom

It was very quiet and beds were so comfy, WiFi was strong which is a god send when you have a teenager 😊. Was handy for us going to the Playhouse as bus passed right outside and within easy walking distance to loads of eating places, would definitely return if visiting Edinburgh again.

Marion, United Kingdom

We had a room nr 37, it is a top floor room and the view was quite nice. It is old building and has its own charm

Paulina, United Kingdom

Room was a good size with plenty of storage and great facilities. The Cooked breakfasts were great, especially as it was included within the price. Great location for getting into city centre, roughly 5-10 minute walk to Edinburgh castle.

Jordan, United Kingdom

The rooms are quite big and the beds confortable. The area is nice and quiet, very close to the city centre and to main bus stops. The breakfast is amazing, very varied (you can choose different warm options, sweet or savoury) and cooked with love ! The staff is very nice and arranging.

Oceane, Ireland

This is a very nice example of a UK style small hotel. The room we had was located across from the main place and in an old terrace house. Nothing flash or fancy but clean, warm and comfortable. Excellent value for money and the provided breakfast is a winner!

Bruise_nite, Australia

Great sized room and friendly staff, bus just down the road takes you into the centre, easily walkable too.

Saskia, United Kingdom

Close to oldtown, Clean room, Perfect Breakfast, friendly stuff

Very Poor
- • Leisure trip

눉Although the stay was alright, here's a problem I need to put down. Our flight was delayed which is why we arrived late and had to pay a fee (no problem with that as we knew this in advance). What we didn't know is that we would be charged 10 pounds per hours that we were late. Anyway we payed the fee in cash when we arrived and were promised a receipt the next morning to hand in to our airline. The next morning we didn't get it. I asked again the next day and the employee told us the owner would fill it out and send it to me via email. I did not get any email so far, even though I wrote an email myself. I also tried to call the guesthouse several times but could not reach anybody.
