Perfect location - quiet street near the city centre, Calton Hill as well as the train station and airport bus stop. Very easy to check-in and check-out by using your unique code which you receive in advance. We appreciated complimentary tea/coffee. The owner, Richard was also very nice. Overall really good value for money, highly recommended.
Czech RepublicBreakfast not in package. Not a problem as plenty of places to eat in area.
IrelandThe room and facilities were really nice, very clean and comfortable. Room was a nice temperature and you could hear no traffic noise at all. The host was very nice, offering guidance on the local area, nice lot of local information on offer.
United KingdomEverything was excellent, it was really clean, the location was excellent, the area was really quiet. I totally recommend it, also the host was really helpful in everything that we need.
United KingdomAstonishingly close to the Centre this place is an absolute bargain. Our bedroom was at the back of the place in the lower ground floor so two things made it perfect. The lack of light, which meant you could sleep right through until 9 or 10 am and the lack of noise which again improved your chances of sleeping right through. The facilities were excellent as was the cleanliness. I will certainly be going back there. Just amazing good value for money!! And the host, Richard was supremely friendly too.
United KingdomEvery thing was good. The host is really kind and helpful. We dropped-off your luggages both check-in and check-out day. Thank you.
United KingdomWe love the bed! It was very comfortable. The bathroom was cleaned every day. The location couldn't be more perfect. We did everything by walking. It's very close to the main street St. Princes and the old town as well. Still a very quiet neighbourhood. It was a very pleasant stay.
BrazilWe were so impressed with Richard who hosted. He was very understanding about our delayed arrival and made sure we were relaxed and comfortable on the day we checked out, he absolutely went above and beyond. We loved the location as it was close to the main bus route to town, but far enough away that you didn’t feel crowded. The room itself was spacious and the bed was extremely comfortable. Would highly recommend.
United KingdomRichard very friendly and hospitable. Property very clean and in a good location to explore Edinburgh.
United KingdomRichard was just superb and very helpful. Ever thing was just perfectly arranged.he was always there when I called. The location is central and very accessible to the castle and mile street. The place is clean and tidy. The arrangement and instructions were perfect for everything that we needed.

Lantern Guest House is a historic property designed by William Playfair on a quiet street in the centre of Edinburgh. It particularly suits guests who appreciate a friendly welcome along with independent and secure access via pin coded doors.
Having been a manager for a large conference centre for 20 years, I am enjoying running Lantern Guest House. It's great being in the hub of a great city, welcoming guests from all over the world. I also enjoy being close to the great outdoors.
Lantern Guest House, 3 Windsor Street, is in the Hillside area of Edinburgh just to the north of Calton Hill, from where you get panoramic views of Edinburgh and beyond. We are very close to the Playhouse Theatre and John Lewis, and there are numerous cafes, bars and restaurants very close by. It is a well lit and safe area.
