    this guesthouse was a good stay, very clean and comfortable . The best reason why we stayed was the fact that the blue busline's stop is right in front of their gate . aswell as Oceania Cruiseline ! i would like to see soaphoulders ectr to keep the ameneties more user friendly in the shower and bathroom !

    The bathrooms need to be renovated, they are old and not well functioning. The WiFi was not working in the rooms.

    The locations was perfect, right in front of the bus stop in a nice and quiet neighborhood. The staff was amazing, very helpful and friendly people who try to accommodate everybody’s need (they also provided packed breakfast for us!). Breakfast was amazing and well cooked. The rooms are clean.

    Breakfast was a highlight, it was a beautiful laid out room with a beautiful view. I had a lovely view of Edinburgh city from my room. All facilities were wonderful and met my expectations. I was able to leave my luggage in the accommodation while I waited for my afternoon train. Public transport is so easy and quick which was amazing. There are stairs but that wasn’t a problem for me.

    This is a nice guest house, a little out of Edinburgh city centre. The walk here from the train station took us about 40 minutes. We chose to take the bus when we went back to the station, and the host was helpful in directing us to the best bus stop. The number 23 ran every 15 minutes, and dropped us in the heart of the city for £2.20p. Our room and bathroom were good, and breakfast was very nice and the people we dealt with were all lovely. I would recommend this guest house, as long as being in the heart of the city isn't essential. It's slighly out of town location is reflected in the price, as city centre accommodation is often much more expensive.

    The host is really kind and helpful, the breakfast is typical Scottish but you can find also brioches, cereals, yogurt and fruit. The lady that cooks the breakfast is so nice too. The room is comfortable, a smart TV is available inside, such as towels, shower gel and hair dryer. If you want you can also have breakfast or a break in the room using the coffee - tea maker provided with the cups and biscuits. The position is a little far from the city centre, in a quiet residential area. However, it is easily and well connected by bus with the main attractions of the city.

    We were in room 3 and there was only one thing missing in our room and that was a lock on the toilet/bathroom door for privacy as it didn't close and it kept opening when in there! Apart from that, everything was fine :D

    Breakfast was fantastic and a nice selection! The lovely lady who did breakfast was very friendly and informative! Our room was clean and comfortable with a good selection of tea/coffee/sugar/biscuits!

    Everything was great, thank you!

    It was a beautiful little house just outside of the centre. The room was a great size and very clean! The host were wonderful, friendly and helpful. The bus stop was right outside and it only took roughly 25mins to get to the centre. Great breakfast with a view of Edinburgh castle. Would stay there again in a heartbeat!
