Breakfast would be good.

Location was good as it was quick to get to the University by car.

Everything was fine for us as we wanted to travel on a budget. There is no luxury or overly comfort. For us it was great as we wanted to save money and spend the days in the city anyway, so we didn't need anything else but a clean bathroom and a warm bed. If you plan to spend a lot of time in the room or if you want luxury, this might not be the right place. Also, there is no heating in the bathroom, but you can make the shower very warm so we didn't really care.

If you travel on a budget, this place is a good option. You get everything you need, not more but also not less. The next bus stop is really close and brings you directly into the city center. The beach is 20 minutes walking away and really beautiful. The host is very friendly. We had a room with a double bed, our own bathroom with shower and we had two heatings in our bedroom which was really nice because you could make the room really warm. Moreover, we could borrow a hairdryer. We also had a water boiler and two glasses and cups in our room. For the price you cannot complain.

That it was a bit far from the city centre

Easy and fast self check-in and check-out. Good value for money.

Was a half an hour bus from the main town

Room was simple and tidy

It was a little expensive and a little out of the way, but access to town was very easy via local busses that stopped very close to the house.

Excellent, helpful owner and staff. Lovely room with a big bay window.

The TV didn't work however host tried to resolve, most of them didn't work possibly due to strong winds prior so not really their fault. Under construction so scaffolding up, unsightly, but no builders because it was near Xmas. I should think they'll be back in the new year. Some people arrived on the first night at 3am, what sounded like a herd of school children stampeded around screaming and knocking on doors for 2 hours (3am-5am) and adults talking really loud but making no effort to control their kids. Very inconsiderate. Not sure how you would correct this, either no check ins after a certain time, or if you do allow late check-ins then have the host present so they can make sure they are considerate. We were very tired the next day.

Lovely old building, room nice (got upgraded because it was quiet), the host was very helpful. Great location to get into Edinburgh by bus. Parking available.

Other than squeaky floorboards nothing.

Really cool building full of character.

Heating wasn't great, which isn't ideal on a cold December night.

Very comfortable bed.

I thought we had a garden view but the garden is under construction. If we only knew that, we could have stayed in their other rooms. Plus there is not a lot of parking space within the guest house premises. Good thing there is parking at the school across the street. There are times the hot shower is cold, wait for a minute for it to become warm again.

Beat option to stay in if you rented a car as parking inside Edinburgh city center is super expensive. Since it was under construction, maybe after it it’ll be cozy. Not sure if they’ll have a garden view option again.

Very nice room!

lack of instruction for breakfast we helped ourselves but the tables were not laid and we couldn’t reach the coffee machine.

Nice rooms, warm and comfortable with tea/coffee and biscuits Parking is just across the road while there is construction work going on

For anyone who is a light sleeper, this place might not be to your liking. It is an older building, so the floors are wood and squeak, and the walls are thin, so you can hear everything happening around the place. They are also currently expanding the building. Construction starts around 8am every morning, we didn’t mind it as we wanted to tackle each day, but if you wanted to sleep in, be ready for some music and hammers around that time! The bed was also a bit lumpy. Kind of expected that the bed wouldn’t be like the one at home, but the springs were quite prominent in certain spots!

We enjoyed our stay! There was a bus stop just outside, so we could easily get to the city center. Not too far away (10-20 min walk) is a Costa Coffee, which is also close to another bus stop, so we were able to get breakfast fairly easy each morning. We did not partake in the guesthouse’s offer of breakfast, so I cannot rate that option. There was hot water for showering (at least 40 min straight) and 2 towels in the room. We didn’t have our room cleaned or get any new towels while we were there, we were fine with what we had, so I cannot rate housekeeping skills either. Although it was certainly clean when we arrived! The room was quite comfortable temperature wise, not cold (the bathroom more so than the room) but not overly hot either. The comforter on the bed was fluffy and kept us snuggled all night! Even though we arrived around 11pm, the proprietor was available to speak with us about a confusion, and welcome us for our stay. Recommended if you have a tight budget but want to see the city and simply need a place for your head at night!

It was having major construction done so was like a building site. It would have been good to understand this in advance.

Parking convenient. Friendly welcome

Room was very small and cramped. We did order a budget room but for the price, I wouldn't have expected to have to move the bed to get round it.

Nice little guest house and easy to find. Didn't see any of the staff but they did call to make sure we had checked in ok and to see if we needed anything.
