Location was excellent, with good business service. Check in and out was easy and hostess was very friendly and accommodating. Room was large and all the basics were provided.Will recommend.
An enjoyable stay. The place was very clean and tidy, the bed comfortable. The location was convenient - an easy bus ride, or walk to the city centre. Staff helpful and friendly. Excellent value for money
Local location. Near bus stations. Easy access. Room completely equipped.

Good bed and breakfast option to stay as is close in public transportation to main city point. The attention from the personal was excellent. The place was quiet. I didn’t even notice other guests.
The location was very walkable to amenities which was the main selling point. The room we had in the basement was very dated, rather noisy, and looked nothing like the room photos shown. If this is a bed and breakfast the breakfast part was not evident.

We found the place easily. Parking was fine. Staff was pleasant and helpful. The room was small but fine for a night. The bed though was made with an old, dainty iron frame. It creaked a lot at the slight movement. Public transportation is nearby. We even walked back from downtown Edinburgh.
Friendly welcome. Great location. Easy to get to waverley. 6 buses run past location. Tons of food options on way to location. Chinese takeaway 6 mins walk. I will be back.
Stayed at this Guest House for 4 nights. The room was comfortable, clean & warm. There was a fridge in the room which was very useful.
The staff were helpful & courteous.
I would stay again at this Guest House.

There room was small and sufficient. The bed, a single, had but one cover. The tv did not work.
The guest house is just over a mile from the city centre and I guess you get what you pay for, so on that basis you’re really can’t complain. However, some of the shared facilities could’ve been cleaner and I guess the place hasn’t been decorated this century if you want a cheap place not far from the city centre this is okay but don’t expect anything special. The one good saving grace of this place is that is just around the corner from the Causeway whether there are great pubs and it’s a lot less touristy than right in the city centre.
it was perfect for a family, conveniently located 15min away from the centre by bus or 35min by walk, small fridge in the bedroom and en suite bathroom, a couple of small supermarkets 10min walking from the premises. Also for the price £60/night is a 5*.
