I've never stayed in this type of unstaffed accommodation before where you don't meet the owners / staff and are provided with key codes to open the main doors and room door so that was a new experience. I didn't meet anyone else during my stay although I heard folk coming and going. The guest house is located on a main road which has a number of bus routes along it so it's easy to find. The window of the single room I stayed in looks out onto the back of the steps up to the front door of the building so there wasn't much natural light. However, the room was clean and comfortable and ideal for a single night's stay in Edinburgh at a reasonable price. The room had all the standard facilities including a sink, TV, kettle and tea / coffee / biscuits. The shared shower / toilet facilities were fine and the shower worked well. The only thing I needed to be careful about was remembering the code to open my room door in case I got myself locked out in the middle of the night after visiting the loo.

N/A

Clean and comfortable. If you like walking then less than 20/25 minute walk into the city. If not, bus stops outside the property so easily reached either way. Nice café 5 minute walk away for breakfast. Arthurs Seat easily reached from the property. Along the road back in to the city you pass lots of bars, restaurants and shops so quite convenient.

The room although clean and comfortable was dated. The bathroom could do with a revamp. The kettle was too big to fit under the tap making it awkward to fill up. TV very small! Having said that, we spent most of our time out so our time spent in the room was limited.

The location is just 18 mins by public from main City center which is very convenient. The beds are extremely comfortable giving you a good night's rest after all the walking on the tours. A fan in the summer provided the required air circulation. The check-in was simple & quick. Overall a very good experience.

Requested an iron, which was not available but not part of the facilities, since the beginning. Providing one would help the guest as required. No facility to leave your luggage after check-out.

Very central with lots of bus stops just outside. Very easy and quick with check in sue always messaged to keep me updated regarding my stay. Very clean cozy own with a lot of facilities in the room for me. The bed was spread out lovely and very comfortable I got a straight 7hour sleep without any noise from anyone. I had a single room for myself it was very spacious. Great WiFi. Beautiful buildings. You can see Sue puts a lot of effort into making the room fresh clean smelling everything set out perfectly and conveniently. The bathroom was clean. Thank you for a lovely stay sue.😊

Nothing

For me this was the perfect location for me to stay, I love walking and it was only a short walk to Arthur's Seat, small shoping centre and of course you could walk straight into the city centre, I was in room 9 which was perfect for a solo traveller, there was the normal tea and coffee tray, good working tv and in my opinion the best bed ever, best night's sleep I've had for a long time, the room was nice and clean and warm. It was a shared bathroom which wasn't really a problem, it was clean and had a really good shower, the premises had good security locks and lighting and it had free private parking round the back of the house, The property was in a great location for bars and restaurants near by, it was a lovely area of Edinburgh and very quiet at night

The step into the shower was higher than normal which wasn't a problem getting in but when it came to getting out it was a bit awkward and bumped my knee, next time I got out of the shower in reverse, perfect, this isn't a criticism just letting you know how it was for me,

Room was spacious and very comfortable, warm and clean. We bumped into a staff member sho was very friendly and checked we were OK.

We were disappointed that breakfast was not available but we found a lovely cafe 5 minutes walk away. It would have been helpful to have a means of cleaning our cups (eg. Washing up sponge, liquid) as we used them several times. Next time we would ask for them to be cleaned.

Excellent value for money. Very close to the university, which was super convenient for me. Pleasant area. The room had everything I needed: kettle, tea/coffee, sink, TV. Sharing a bathroom was not an issue at all. I never had to wait although the hotel was fully booked. Keypad entry also extremely quick, convenient and secure. The only tiny complaint was that I struggled to get WiFi the first night but it was fine the next night. All in all, perfect for a single traveller.

I liked everything about the accommodation, especially that I had a heater because it was quite cold outside. Otherwise the room was perfect for one person even though it was on the ground floor it didn't bother me at all, and the bathroom very clean. There is a bus stop next to the house which makes it easy to get to the centre. But it's also an easy 20 minute walk to Victoris Street and it's a starting point to many sights. I would stay here again.

What I didn't like was that last night the fire alarm went off several times. But until then it wasn't a problem.

The room we were allocated was gorgeous, I personally loved the windows with the red curtains. The room was clean when we arrived and it was easy access from the station with a 10-15min taxi ride from there. However walking was also a breeze with an extra 5min.👍

However if you prefer strong water pressure this guest house has quite a weaker pressure. I also found a somewhat large spider in the bathrooms but it’s fine we come from Australia it’s nothing out of the blue 😊

It was a comfortable room with a good bathroom. Great location, walk into Edinburgh. Car parking at rear. Rear facing room was super quiet. Beds, shower, pillows were all great. Super helpful staff. Coded entry worked well and didn’t have to take keys with you.

TV was advertised as a flat screen which it was but it was tiny, slightly bigger than a laptop screen. Internal noise and washing machine noise was really loud at times. An old telephone in the entry rang in the middle of the night. Water running and a washing machine working at night was really annoying. Guests coming and going late hours was noisy from our room. Wished it had a small refrigerator but not many places do it seems.
