Very convenient location and especially nice hosts!

Johanne United States of America

Upon arrival, Meryam and Ajaz made us feel very welcome, and went out of their way to make sure that we had everything we needed. Between booking and arrival, their communication was always prompt and polite. We were very comfortable in the room, and particularly the bed. The guest house itself is located in New Town, only a short walk from Calton Hill, which offers spectacular views of the city, and with many great restaurants only a short walk away.

Alexander United States of America

I loved being at the Atlas Guest House. I was welcomed by Meryam, such-and-such a lovely and warm person. Together with her family they made me feel at home, not just a guest. They looked after my comfort, well-being, and tried to meet any extra need I had. I highly recommend it to other solo travelers. The neighborhood and building location were fabulous!

Landa United States of America

Lovely friendly welcome to the city. Great location.

Sally United Kingdom

Lovely helpful hosts. great location, nice clean room - great place to explore Edinburgh.

Alex United Kingdom

Cozy, comfortable, good location, attentive, friendly top notch service. It feels like a home away from home, different from corporate chains and large, sterile hotels. It was also very warm during several wet, chilly December days.

David Hungary

Very warm and friendly welcome. Accommodated early bag drop off. Great room size and powerful show. Lovely part of the town.

Staff was kind and helpful and the ambience of the rook was very good with all basic necessity

Nabeel United Kingdom

Zachary Canada

Friendly, considerate hosts. Comfortable rooms where the shared bath was set for use by only our small group. Only a few streets from St Andrews Square and transit hub. Good location. Nice variety of coffees and teas in the room.
