Our room was really nice and comfortable. Although the guest house is close to the city centre and to many pubs and restaurants, it is in a very quiet street.

Richard is a perfect gentleman and host. The room is cosy and clean and a 10 minutes walk from Old and New Town. 100% recommended.

Great location, easy walk into the centre with cafes and bars along the way. Good size room, comfortable bed and very clean. Loved that the toilet was twinned with one in Nepal.

Location of the place was perfect and extremely near everything you need in Old Town Edinburgh. Richard, who welcomed us also had someone clean the toilet every morning. He also prepared a carton of milk and a jug of water that was placed in a fridge. Having TV was a nice touch too.

Amazing location,great host(thank you),good facilities,everything we needed in gorgeous Edinburgh,highly recommended

Very good location to the city center, but in a quiet neighborhood with a comfy bed. Tea was provided with milk.

Location was superb. Milk in fridge and tea in bedroom very welcome. Bed linen quality very good. We were able to leave our bags in the hallway of the property on the day we checked out, which was a great facility as we weren't leaving Edinburgh until 7.30 in the evening.. Many thanks to our host.

Very good location and very good facilities. There were some very nice touches, like the free tea/coffee/milk which were much appreciated.

We travelled by train & the location was excellent for public transport users as it is only a short walk from Waverley station. We stayed in room 3 at the rear of the building so didn't have any outside noise to disturb us despite being close to a fairly busy road. The provision of a separate small fridge for each room was really useful for storing the fresh milk (provided by our hosts) & any small snacks that we purchased.

We received a lovely welcome upon arrival. Tea, coffee, milk and access to a microwave was provided. The location is very central to everything. We also liked that our tea and coffe was refreshed daily. We were in Room 1 which was a lovely size, plenty of clothes storage. Nice room.
