The proprietors kindly allowed me to book in early as I was attending an afternoon function and as the property is very conveniently situated next to the bus station I didn't have to take my luggage with me to the function. Had my case carried up the stairs for me. Although conveniently close to the centre of Galashiels, with shops and eating facilities close by, it was an exceptionally quiet place to stay. No night disturbance whatsoever (Saturday and Sunday nights.) Nothing fancy about this property - just clean and cared for and everything you needed close at hand. Very happy customer.

There are a lot of stairs in the property, which needed to be negotiated to use the bathroom facilities, and while this was no problem to me whatsoever, it might not suit someone with mobility or breathing difficulties.

Very friendly and helpful owner; clean and comfortable room with nice hot shower; excellent location right beside transport hub (but not noisy) and convenient for town. Could leave luggage after checkout to collect later, allowing me to take a day exploring comfortably (I took bus to Abbotsford House). A great economical alternative to staying in Edinburgh (was going to football at Murrayfield!), with the train providing a good transport link in just 50 minutes.

Maybe somewhere in shower to rest spectacles and shower gel/shampoo? Otherwise no problems; breakfast isn't supplied but this was made clear from the start on booking and there are plenty of places nearby to get supplies or have a café breakfast.

Superb location edge of town right next to the train station into the borders and onto Edinburgh. The owner kindly let us leave our vehicle on the carpark for free while we took the train into Edinburgh for the day .. perfect

Single beds a little small but I'm being really picky as everything else perfect .

I recommend this guest house provided it doesn't matter to you that some rooms, possibly all, are not ensuite, and they currently don't do breakfast (I guess that might change). The room was clean and comfortable, including the bed. Little details were well attended to. That is, more than enough tea bags, coffee and milk sachets with the tea maid for my three nights, plus chocolate biscuits. The shared bathroom with another room was clean, and the shower was probably the simplest I've ever used! It was a friendly welcome, and the proprietor obligingly locked my bike in the former breakfast room, making it very secure. Location-wise, for me, it was perfect. Just a short walk to the town centre but more importantly, for me, it was immediately opposite the reopened Galashiels railway station and, likewise, reopened Borders rail line, Tweedmouth - Edinburgh. It is also just two doors from the bus station. It was a pity they no longer do breakfast, but I respect their probable reason for it and it wasn't an issue (I used the Wetherspoon). The property is for sale so I infer the proprietors are winding down to retire. If new proprietors continue it, I guess it's possible they will reinstate breakfast. As things stand, however, I recommend it provided you are comfortable with the two points.

Nothing

Location super convenient for getting around all areas of the Scottish Borders and beyond, short train journey to Edinburgh. The host was very friendly, beds were comfortable and is priced well for what you get. Short walk to a variety of pubs, restaurants and other shops. Would stay again if I was in the area.

Friendly staff, clean room, comfortable beds, relaxed atmosphere and excellent location. Very good value for money. We really enjoyed our 3 night stay here and would recommend this Guest House to anyone visiting Galashiels.

We were a bit disappointed that clean cups were'nt provided daily.

Lovely cosy warm property on a cold winters day/night. Malcom the owner was exceptionally friendly and greeted us sincerely. The room and bathroom facilities were a welcome from the cold, comfortable clean and homely. Tea/coffee facilities with a small array of biscuits in the room. Small things such as the home made handkerchief box case that shows the care, details and attention the owners take within their establishment. Would 100% recommend the Monorene Guest house for a warm, clean and exceptional value for money guest house in Galashiels & would stay again if visiting the area.

Nothing that I can say or think of

Stayed for 1 night at the beginning of walking St Cuthbert's Way. As advertised. Simple, comfortable warm room next to railway station, short walk from town. Quiet at night. I slept well. Tea/coffee facilities. TV. I ate at an Italian restaurant in town which was delicious.

Nothing.

The location was perfect for everything and training into Edinburgh. Lovely people and such a comfortable bed. The fellow who owns the place went out of his way twice to help. One involved taking my friend in the car to another village to pick up her bag . Many many thanks for the kindness !
