United States of AmericaBreakfast was a bag of different items left in your room for you to enjoy at your own time. The room my bf and me stayed in was large, clean and had all the amenities we needed. It had a nice view of Edinburgh and the surrounding hills. The b&b was also very quiet and we were both able to sleep very well. It was also very close city centre by bus or in walking distance. We would stay again!

United States of AmericaThe room was very clean and quiet. It was just a 30 minute walk to High Street in Edinburgh. Even though breakfast is not provided, they offered cereal, fruit, milk, and snack bags full of treats to eat on the go. Very thoughtful!

United States of AmericaWow, where do I start. The Sonas Guesthouse was absolutely beautiful and spotlessly clean, our host was so lovely and welcoming, its easy bus route into town takes 5 minutes...I could go on, but I can highly recommend staying there and this will be our go to accommodation in Edinburgh from now on. Thank you again 💓

United KingdomIt was a real guesthouse - a ‘hotel room’ in a home. Irene was just wonderful & everything was provided. the fabulous blackout screen meant no problems sleeping, but the curtain added a sense of home. Wonderful breakfast bags were provided - and we were even surprised by a bottle of wine one day! I’m a ‘hot sleeper’ - just one comment, and a sheet was instantly provided so that I had a cover for when I kicked the duvet off 😂

United States of AmericaIrene was very friendly when we arrived, the room was a good size and the facilities were good and nice and clean. There's off road parking which is good and the location is great, a straight line walk to the center of Edinburgh. I also forgot an item in the room as we had to leave a day early (nothing to do with the guesthouse), and Irene posted it to my hone address very quickly so that was excellent service. Would highly recommend

United KingdomI booked my stay here based on all the amazing reviews and it didn’t disappoint. The guesthouse is gorgeous and very cosy and I was shocked at how generous the hosts were to provide unlimited coffee and teas as well as mini breakfast snacks. Irene was so kind and welcoming too. The guest house is super close to a high street filled with boutique cafes and restaurants where you can grab some yummy food and it is a great walk to the centre as there is so much to do on the way. You have Arthur’s seat just a 5 minute walk away too so you are spoilt for choice. The rooms were clean and very warm which was nice to come back to from the frosty weather. I reclined staying here as it is a fraction of the price and a genuinely lovely, cosy and quite little stay.
