    There could have been a plug for the sink. Had to use tea bags

    Breakfast was a little limited, eg no dried fruit for cereal, no bran flakes, toast hardly toasted at all.

    If someone is using the shared shower/toilet facilities which can get busy on a morning /night time you're pretty stuck if you need the toilet. That's what happens when you book shared facilities though and the room price reflects this. So booker beware really

    Visiting Edinburgh with family I wanted a more budget experience. The price was amazing value and just being a 10/15 minute walk from the grass market where the rest of the party stayed. Beds were comfy, shared bathroom toilet facilities. The decoration is a little tired if I was to be really picky, which I wasn't, just setting expectations. I had parking which they didn't. Mine included a modest but perfect continental breakfast, which theirs didn't. In the evening there is Scottish music in the lounge if you want to take part. They will be booking here next time.

    Too much light coming in through the curtains in the morning and breakfast was ok but simple: instant coffee, toast and cheese and jam.

    Location, walking distance to all, car park near the house and the bed. It was quiet at night.

    Nothing we didnt like really! If being picky breakfast was limited but as it was included in price it was still a good deal for us. Bathroom was small but fine for our 1 night stay.

    Friendly and welcoming staff, traditional feel to the accommodation, comfy beds. Well situated for the price we paid and included parking was a bonus. Would definitely stay again.

    The only thing we weren't a fan of was that the bathroom wasn't in the room but we knew that when we booked it. We would have liked a bit more choice at breakfast, we presumed a continental breakfast would include some sort of pastries but it was just cereal, toast, cheese and fruit. But plenty of coffee shops in walking distance if you are still hungry.

    All staff were excellent from the moment we arrived to when we handed our keys back. The location of the guest house is in walking distance to everything. The shower was lovely and nice and hot and the room was a nice size. Off street secure parking was brilliant. We would definitely stay here again if we came back to Edinburgh.

    Lovely staff and nice atmosphere, but wouldn’t really stay again mainly due to the lack of safety aspect.

    Unfortunately the room wasn’t as sound proof as we had hoped as could hear people coming in and out and chatting at the entrance through the night, the bed wasn’t the comfiest. It was reasonable enough for the one night, but was looking forward to a good breakfast, but was disappointed with no hot options other than toast. Door also couldn’t be locked from inside the room so put a chair at the door as being a women we felt a bit vulnerable.

    Easy to find and nicely decorated. Old fashioned but we enjoyed that aspect of it. Seemed very traditional for a Scottish guest house. The staff were lovely a welcoming, loved the traditional Scottish clothing with staff in kilts, and liked that you could come and go as you please to the property.

    We had to turn the radiator off completely as the room was uncomfortably warm and the window was an old sash type that was sealed shut.

    Nice guest house with some evening entertainment provided in the price. Facilities were basic but you have all you need for a stopover. Staff were friendly and the breakfast was nice. Good off road parking provided. Nice restaurants within a few minutes walk and the city centre a short drive. We'd use it again.
