Camera di dimensioni molto generose e confortevole con arredo completo. Bagno privato ampio e completo. Buona pulizia generale. Possibilità di parcheggio nel cortile davanti casa molto apprezzato. Fermata autobus per il centro a 2 passi.

The property is a building site. The staff are very rude. There is absolutely no parking space at the front that is advertised in booking.com or round the corner. We booked on this basis.
The building site was dangerous outside and in. It is run down. The owner is rude and totally dismissed my 79 old aunt who needed a car park and safe home. She would have fallen over all the building blocks. Their big ban blocked parking too. Damp and the smell of a building site. Do not stay here. Not safe and the owner said no one complained about parking. Just read previous reviews!!! Do not stay.
Everything. Unsafe, rude owner with no compassion at all.

La guest house e’ molto carina e in una bella zona, ben servita dai mezzi pubblici, ottima posizione per raggiungere il centro di Edimburgo. Abbiamo avuto una family room bellissima, super spaziosa e confortevole, non potevamo chiedere di meglio per un soggiorno a buon prezzo ad Edimburgo !
Avevo contattato più volte la Struttura per avere informazioni ma le risposte sono state sempre molto frettolose e all’arrivo non avevamo la certezza su come avvenisse il check in. Se migliorassero questo aspetto sarebbe impeccabile !

Our room was good can’t really fault it
Someone had been in our room when we left to go out after check in as I closed the curtains before I left then when we got in at night they were open

La cama era cómoda y la habitación tenía un buen tamaño, lo malo es que teníamos el baño fuera de la habitación y era un poco incómodo.
También nos dejaron té y café para el desayuno.
El alojamiento estaba en buena zona y aunque tenía conexión con el centro por autobuses nosotros íbamos y veníamos todos los días andando, está a unos 25 minutos de Old town y por el camino había múltiples tiendas, cafeterías y restaurantes.
No recibimos ningún correo por parte del alojamiento de cómo acceder a él. El mismo día de la llegada les escribimos pero no obtuvimos respuesta, así que decidimos ir hasta la ubicación y ya allí conseguimos contactar con una chica que nos dio una clave para poder acceder al alojamiento.
Cuando llegamos la habitación olía muchísimo a tabaco, entiendo que no es culpa del alojamiento pero tampoco nuestra. Les escribimos para comentárselo pero no obtuvimos respuesta por su parte y al día siguiente teníamos la ventana abierta de la habitación, entendemos que habían venido a ventilar. Quizás podrían habernos dado otra habitación o habernos dado algo en compensación. Fue muy molesto dormir la primera noche con olor a tabaco.

La stanza davvero bella e spaziosa con tipica bow window.
Tutto pulito.
Il bagno piccolino, ma per me (1.70h) era comodo.
C'erano caffè solubile e thè a disposizione e bollitore e piccoli snack.
Letto comodissimo.
La stanza al piano terra, affaccia su strada ed è un po' rumorosa, ma io ci ho dormito molto bene.
Le tende spesse attutiscono rumori e schermano bene dalla luce.
Che non c'è reception.
Tuttavia era indicato tutto il necessario e ci si può mettere in contatto con i gestori della struttura dal citofono o dal telefono.
All' arrivo abbiamo avuto un disguido sulla modalità di accesso, non ci era stata indicata la box e password per auto check-in, quindi consiglio eventualmente di assicurarsi prima se si ha un check-in in tarda serata come il mio di aver ricevuto tutte le informazioni necessarie.
Tuttavia il problema si è risolto in fretta. Ci hanno indicato i codici per l'accesso e la stanza era pronta.
Un'altra nota da sapere è che la stanza ha proprio affaccio su strada, poca privacy, ma come indicato nei commenti positivi ci sono delle tende molto spesse che risolvono e grazie all' affaccio la stanza è molto luminosa e l affaccio con bow window è carino.
La via su cui si affaccia la stanza non è particolarmente bella, ma è servita bene dai bus e si possono vedere tutte le tipiche case con giardino di fronte. Quindi l affaccio è piacevole.(Si vede nelle foto)

Easy express check in and check out. Room nice, clean and comfortable. Not exactly central but lots of restaurants not too far.
No staff so can't rate it. Location is good but a bit further down so took the 37 bus.

Clean and comfortable, on bus routes so easy to travel into the centre. Nice building and quiet road.
Shower was broken, quickly ramps up to scalding hot so unable to use it after a few seconds.

Good facilities in terms of shower, comfortable bed, kettle in room. Location good for buses into town.
Walls appear to be quite thin as you hear your neighbours + anyone walking up and down the stairs (if staying in the room I was in at least). A mirror would be good in the bedroom area, not just the bathroom as if styling/drying your hair etc, there is no accessible mirror to see what you're doing (as obviously no plugs in the bathroom).

No breakfast
The host did not respond to the messages sent - and did not provide any check in assistance in advance. I had to make 3 international calls to get the details of check in. The emergency number provided went to a voice mail. Not what I expect after a long trip.
9.0
The check in was easy and the host was very informative prior to arriving (through email). The room was spotless and very comfy! It was also very easy to connect to Netflix. Also loved the cats in the back garden, definitely a plus.
Everything was great
4.0
The room was clean, the bed comfortable and there was adequate plugs, etc. There was an iron and an ironing board.
The hot water was a danger. Children and vulnerable adults could have been significantly injured by the temperature of the water coming out of the tap in the bathroom. I was trapped in the shower for about 10 mins (with some scalding) when the temperature of the water became unbearably hot without warning. As the shower door opened inwards it took me a while to get out. After that I showered by standing out side the shower cubicle and only getting in very briefly to wash the soap off. There was no temperature regulation of the water temperature in the shower. Even at the minimum it was eventually too hot to stand under the water. The water flow was strong. Also despite being advertised under bed and breakfasts there was no breakfast. A huge disappointment at this price.
9.0
Comfortable and clean room for three, with a very pleasant view of the neighbouring gardens. The location was easy to reach by public transport and had restraurants and cafe within a short walk.
We struggled a bit to figure out the check-in procedure because the ringer on the door was easy to miss. It would be nice to have that information messaged to us up-front.
7.0
The room was very spacious with an extra bed. The location is good for value., Less than 10 mins drive to town. Good services.
Poor parking facility, space for only one car for the whole guest house. Tv audio wasn't working.. one of the beds was not very comfy.

Lack of staff

We had a quiet room, everything was fine for a one-night stay.
Too expensive for what you get but most places in Edinburgh seem to be, so...

8.0
Nice big room with a garden view, relatively close to the city.
Didn't see any staff, either checking in or out, and the intercom was hard to hear (too quiet, with static).
8.0
The room was spacious, with a lovely bay window. There were plenty of towels and the beds/pillows were comfortable. The guest house is on a bus route from Waverley Station.
There was nobody on site to greet visitors. Instead, you are given a key code, so everything is 'hands-off' and impersonal in terms of style. Breakfast is not available. There is no hand-held shower head in the shower.
1.0
Nothing
The staff were the worst ever. I had an issue with payments but the way they went about it was totally unacceptable, unprofessional and disrespectful. The police had to settle the issue I had with them.
5.0
The room was spacious with a private toilet neat and clean. Convenient location.
The room was booked for 2 adults but there was only one single bed. Tried to call on the number but didn't receive a response.
