Siisti huone, rauhallinen ja hyvä sijainti. Lyhyt matka keskustaan ja julkisille kulkuneuvoille. Aamiaispaikkoja hyvin saman kadun ja lähikatujen varrella.
Lakanat ja pyyhkeet puhtaat mutta varsin kuluneet, voisi uusia.

Not too far from Haymarket and easy access to the canal and the meadows for a run. Not too far that I couldn't walk into town.

It was such a good place to stay in for a weekend in Edinburgh, it’s a good walking distance from the Main Street and city centre! The room was so cozy and the beds were amazing, we had a great sleep every night! The facilities are also really good and we would definitely recommend to stay here if you ever visit Edinburgh!

The staff were very helpful including helping to carry luggage up the stairs, and booking a taxi for the early morning departure. The rooms were comfortable and clean. The location was great - only a 20 min walk to the city centre!
We were a little cold in the room and couldn't get the heating to turn up enough. While the shower was hot it was very weak... would love a bit more pressure!
8.0
Excellent room and staff, had everything I needed including a working shower.
The location was near the castle plus there were convenience stores just a three minute walk away if I needed anything.
Perfect for a short stay.

Well positioned for a walk into Edinburgh
Room was far too small for three people with next room’s en-suite built into it! Bathroom was dirty with toilet seat stained and hanging off. Generally rather dingy.

We liked the location, the host was very friendly.
Toilet door got stuck so we kept them a little bit open. You could hear your neighboors, room was small, but we didn't mind because we stayed One night.

Not very clean

Clean, value for money. Staff friendly.
Website needs to reflect that breakfast is now not in the lovely conservatory but consists of a juice box, a piece of fruit and a small pastry left in your room in a paper bag. It’s adequate of course but not as advertised.

The location is near to Edinburgh city centre although you still need to get a bus to get back to guest house. The receptionist is very accomodating and helpful in terms of asking about direction, bus, etc.
The room photos shown on the internet is not as spacious as it in the actual room. The hot water is not run with electric power so it not enough for 3 people when having a bath in the morning. The room is not regularly clean every morning and the free tea, coffee and milk has not been replaced.
5.0
Not in the main building we were in a building over the road, roomsmall and overpriced for bed only accommodation.
Selling itself as 4 star, maybe 2

Comfortable bedroom size.
The bed was old and soft, quite uncomfortable. We didn't get enough toiletries.
8.0
The (smallish) room had high ceilings and was equipped with everything we needed. Very clean, seemed recently refurbished, good shower, comfortable bed, plenty of milk with tea and coffee selection, helpful host, quiet location, not too central but close to cafés / restaurants
I could hear people coming back during the night as the room was close to the front door, the pillows could have been more comfortable and one of the towels was rather threadbare.

Good location at walking distance from the city centre.
The room was small and noisy. There were several lightbulbs missing in the room.
6.0
Its location is 15 mins away from old town.
The staff was very polite and helpful. They allowed us to leave our luggage in a room there, so that we can continue our strolls without carrying them.
The price was great but there shouldn't be discounts in matters of cleaning.
The bed wasn't that comfortable.
The room could have been more thoroughly cleaned as there were some hair in the bathroom and onto the bed's sheets.

Basic but clean . Kettle provided with plenty tea/ coffee and milk . Good fir an overnight stay
Location a good 20-25 mins walk from city centre
