It was a short 30 minute walk to the City Center in a great area with lots of nice restaurants and coffee shops nearby. The room had beautiful huge windows and the beds were comfortable.

Good place to stay!

The check in and out was very handy no issues. The room was clean and very comfortable and had everything you needed. In a great location with a bus stop into town literally right across the road- the hosts were on site if needed!

The guest house was great for what i needed. Location was perfect - lots of buses that stop right outside and take you directly up to the city centre, but also easily walkable as well. The guest house is also close to the start of trails for Arthur’s Seat. It was very easy to check in and check out, and the guest house was super clean.

I cannot really put into words how perfect this guesthouse was. I came to Edinburgh to see the Fringe and i must say the Bloosom Guest House was fantastic and exactly what I needed
