good location, friendly staff, you get what you paid for

Thalia United States of America

Location was central. Short walk to the castle, also close to bus stops, shops and restaurant. The room was cozy and clean.

Alice Ireland

Our host was very accommodating and quick to respond when any issues arose

Kandis United States of America

We liked it all. Close to the bus stop, even walking to the center is easy, clean, warm, very nice host, all was fine ! And the price, compared with other similar places is good 👍 I recommend this place.

Paraschiv Romania

Really nice location, it's right next to a street with lots of food options and an easy walk from Old Town! I ate at a couple of the nearby spots, and got takeout from one location to bring back to my room. The bathroom is nice and updated, with towels even softer than the ones I have at home. I really appreciated the freshly made bed and emptied trash after a long day of exploring the city, I didn't expect that service to be included. The staff was very attentive and respectful toward my things when tidying up the room. Thank you for such a comfortable stay during my time in Edinburgh!

Host Review Score
Georgian town house, we have no lift, some room are small, originally was a normal house but we changed to Guest House in 2001.The guest house close to city centre and sorry no parking available.
Located in the south-east of Scotland, Edinburgh lies on the east coast of the Central Belt, along the Firth of Forth, near the North Sea. Owing to its spectacular, rugged setting and vast collection of Medieval and Georgian architecture, including numerous stone tenements, it is often considered one of the most picturesque cities in Europe.
