The room and location were both wonderful! The bed was soft and so comfortable. We slept amazingly! And the staff were very responsive as well.

The ease of entry for a late arrival was great. My room was taken care of daily. Any issues I encountered were resolved immediately (and there was only 1 drain issue... sorted while I was out of the building.) The hosts were visible, friendly, (shared some history of the building) and helpful, and as a solo traveler I felt safe, secure and enjoyed the homey-ness of the room. The Guest House is also in a prime location for great variety of food and price ranges and ease of access to multiple locations of interest, the conference center, the castle, The Meadows, etc.

Great location; nice room; friendly owners and staff. A very comfortable stay.

Great place with your own bathroom, 15 minutes walk to the city centre and a bus stop across the street.

Very friendly staff/owners. Close to train. Clean.

Very friendly staff and super considerate on ever-changing country travel restrictions. Easy to communicate with and responsive to messages. Super helpful on all aspects. Nice, clean room and very central location. Nothing to complain about. Would definitely recommend to other travelers.

Excellent view from our room. Location are fantastic. Easy instruction to access to guest house for late check in. Room are clean.

The breakfast was amazing. We were very satisfied with full Scottish breakfast. The staff was very friendly.

Great location - close to central transport routes and perfect for exploring the old town. I was a very last minute booking and the service was excellent right through from the warm welcome and through to service at breakfast and friendly chats and recommendations about local attractions. Would stay again!

I like the way they serve the breakfast and it has plenty variety of menu, which is rare to find in similar type of hotels and the amount you pay. Furthermore, the location is really strategic! Rob and Alexandra weee also really nice, and they helped me with my big luggage. Thanks!

Hi! If a guest was to arrive back at the guest house later at night say 11pm onwards during their stay how would they gain entry? So this is not when arriving but during the stay, if that makes sense.Hi there, each set of guests is issued with two keys, one for the external doors and one for the room. There are no restrictions or curfew at all, but we ask that guests enter quietly late at night.Answered on July 24, 2021

What is the nearest tram stop?Hi there - there is a tram stop at Coates Crescent "West End" from where you could walk with light luggage, or head forwards to Lothian Road to catch a 10 to our door or 11/16 to around the corner from us in Home Street. alternatively you could stay on to Princes Street, and connect to the same buses on the other side of the street, a litle longer but less distance with luggage. With the exception of the rush hours though the 100 airport bus will bring you closer to Lothian Road and slightly quicker! There is also the slow 300 airport service to just around the corner from us. Full details for airport transfers available on our own site for Valentine guest house.

Hello! We like your accommodation but our plane arrives at 22:40 so I guess we will be checking in at 23:30-24:00. Is it ok?9pm was our standard time pre-COVID, for the coming months all evening arrivals make use of one of our simple coded keyboxes at the front door, with phone back up if needed. These have been used for later arrivals for years so any time is no problem.Answered on March 25, 2022

Hi, can we park but the property please?We predate the car's invention by a century so no parking onsite, but there are good options - a secure car park just 120m away available at a discounted £10 per day for advance booking, metered day and free evening parking and free all weekend.Answered on September 17, 2020
