Lovely comfortable, spacious room. Lots of really great coffee spots nearby and some amazing food options without the tourist tax of the city centre. I will definitely stay again next time we're up.

A very convenient place close to the attractions. The place needs a bit of renovation but is located in a good area. Can use some comfortable mattresses as the current ones are not good and the bathroom fan was too loud.

Too expensive, impression was possibly a two-star place with hard beds, noisy rooms and sloppy painted / decorated. Breakfast could at least be included.

Management responded instantly so I believe they are very invested in their customers. I think the bed mattress should be upgraded. The bathroom floor in our room was a bit water logged and grout needed to be cleaned. I do think this is a safe hotel with a good rate per night.

The lady in charge was friendly and helpful. There was only Continental breakfast available, and that was limited and cost extra. I booked here because my usual guest house was not available, paid quite a bit more for a top floor room with sloping roof and very small window.

Staff were very friendly and the location was great. A short bus ride into central Edinburgh and reasonable fares. The guest house was a little run down, but very clean and charming. our room was at the front of the guest house and i was expecting traffic noise, but it was very quiet and we had a good nights sleep.
