from checking in till departure
this was a wonderful experience
nothing was too much trouble
the complimentary Shortbread and sherry in the room was a lovely touch
bed so comfortable
and facilities as good as a quality hotel
was a business trip for me
but will use again both for business and pleasure
A building haunted by a grander past. An ex hotel, the once dining room now an empty space, a pushchair parked in one corner. Apart from a cleaner, apparently just one full time staff member filling receptionist, cook roles. Nice enough, clean room. But a hint of previous occupants' sweat about the pillows. Cheap sausages and salty bacon for breakfast. A cheerless place.
The guest house and my room were very clean and quiet. There are bus stops near by to get around easily. Communication with the proprietor was very good. Overall experience was great.
I was staying on the ground floor, towards the back of the property. The window did not have a lock; it was not secure, and anyone could get in from the outside.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Room 8 curtains not great don’t draw together properly and failing . A lot of road noise if your a light sleeper. TV is tiny. Black cushions smelt sweaty.
Clean and comfortable. The best of both worlds (AirBnB and hotel). The room was made up every morning but the cost was quite low. I'd stay again when I return to Edinburgh.
The place is great and Luke was amazing, super kind, very comfortable and in a lovely neighborhood, the park across the street is ideal for a morning walk
Wonderful place to stay in Edinburgh. It is walking distance to many different spots and it is easy to reach by tram and walk. The staff was wonderful and very helpful.
Very comfortable, good value, a lot of charm, convenient location, away from the hustle and bustle but a short easy bus ride into the downtown area (buses come all the time and you can pay with credit card 1.9 pounds each way).
Was such a cute property. Was very convenient being right next to the bus stops. Host there was very helpful and kind. Would highly recommend staying here!
