A very convenient place close to the attractions. The place needs a bit of renovation but is located in a good area. Can use some comfortable mattresses as the current ones are not good and the bathroom fan was too loud.

Beautiful old building. Local neighborhood feel. Great porridge. Hot showers. Very clean and modern bathroom. Our room was at the back and so very quiet. Restaurants to walk to. Owners were very pleasant and helpful. Easy to get to city center via bus. Enjoyed our stay.

Useful location but on arrival no one there and had to call to get access. Not very welcoming. High degree of utility. Nice artworks. Didn’t see any staff at all when I left so went on my way leaving the key as indicated in a glass jar

Staff were very friendly and the location was great. A short bus ride into central Edinburgh and reasonable fares. The guest house was a little run down, but very clean and charming. our room was at the front of the guest house and i was expecting traffic noise, but it was very quiet and we had a good nights sleep.

A bit tired but was clean and met our needs for an overnight stay. Little contact with staff but access was simple with keys for all doors to get in late at night.
