    Very little, it might benefit from USB charging points for phones etc.

    Pre booked breakfast set us up for the day with an early start for the bus to the city centre, ready for a day visiting the fringe, international festival and the Tattoo.

    It would be helpful to have a hairdryer in the room - though we note one was available upon request. This could be made clearer when booking.

    Easy to find, not far from bus stop straight into the city centre, comfortable bed, TV apps all working. Overall very cosy and easy to relax in.

    Location with off road parking Friendly lovely owner. Room Cleanliness and good hot shower Would recommend the Excellent scrambled eggs for breakfast Can come and go as you wish

    A hidden gem close to the delights of the Edinburgh Festival

    There are a lot of stairs that can be difficult with a heavy suit case (my own fault!).

    I stayed at this little gem during the Festival in August 2024. The location is in a quiet, tree lined street, away from the festival crowds but a short bus ride or easy half-hour walk into town. The small but comfortable and clean single room was well appointed and had a lovely ensuite bathroom. The continental breakfast I ordered was just what I needed to start the very busy, fun festival days and was promptly delivered by Stuart with a friendly “Good Morning”. Hosts Kathryn and Stuart were very helpful, friendly and attentive but not intrusive. I highly recommend Falcon Crest Guest House and would stay here again should I find myself in Edinburgh at the best time of year to visit - the festival, it’s so much fun!

    The Guest House is located on a street lined with gorgeous old homes. Getting there from various bus stations and walking down the road surrounded by the type of buildings that people travel to Edinburgh for sets up the perfect start to a holiday. Kathryn was an incredible hostess who offered helpful travel tips and great chat. The room was impeccably clean and all the information about the stay was neatly laid out in writing (as someone who likes instructions this was a major bonus). The bed was incredibly comfortable and the window seating allowed me to stare out the window and enjoy the views of the neighbourhood.

    Everything was according to our expectations. Thank you very much.

    As other guests have already described, the breakfast was very tasty and you could choose what you wanted to have the next day. The hosts were also extremely charming and polite. We particularly appreciated the fact that check-in and check-out were so easy, even though our arrival and departure times were not particularly convenient. We liked the location close to the sea and the botanical gardens.

    Kathryn and Stuart were excellent hosts. If you want to experience Scottish hospitality this place is definitely the one. The rooms are clean and equipped with everything you need for your stay. They also had a kettle, tea, coffee, sugar and shortbread biscuits in the room and fresh milk was also provided. The location is fantastic with easy access to public transportation and the neighborhood is residential and quiet.

    We had to go up 3 flights of stairs. Our room was very small.

    Our hosts, Katherine and Stuart were excellent. They were friendly welcoming and very helpful. They made Falcon Crest seem like a second home. The breakfast was very good and plentiful. It was very clean and the location in a nice part of Edinburgh close to transportation was great Lovely view of the backyard gardens.

    There is nothing I dislike about this property.

    Guest house is run by a sweet old couple. The couple was extremely helpful and friendly, I have honestly never came across such lovely host in my past airbnb stays. The room we stayed in was very clean and exceeded our expectations.
