After reading the reviews I was not expecting much. We stayed in room 11, ground floor front room. The room was huge, modern and decorated really nicely. Really clean, plenty of tea and coffee, TV, hair drier and iron. En suite was really nice. About a 30 min walk to the Royal Mile or £2 each way on the bus which was pretty much outside and buses came every 10 mins or so. Would recommend

Couldn't fault the place. Parking outside for one car - would not fit an estate sized car but plenty of parking literally around the corner

Room and location are excellent. Really easy to reach from town, easy access and bathroom is also really spacious. Good value for money.

For anyone considering the external bathroom, I think it’s nice to prepare some slippers for the guests, as they have to move across the hall and going barefoot is not ideal. Also, I hope the staff could be more responsive. I reached out via email weeks before the stay but never received a response until one day before the trip. So, for anyone who's wondering, the external bathroom is for your private use. I rang the bell but never got an answer; one time there was no response, and another time it was just a simple "Hello" with no follow-up on my question.

Very clean and smart, and although reasonably central (1.2miles out) it is in a lovely wide residential street, and I felt very comfortable walking to centre and back each day. Bed comfy. Tv, hairdryer, basic toiletries and coffee all provided.

My only very small point is there is no full length mirror in room ( although there’s a decent mirror at bottom of stairs). This is because I invariably go out with a hem down or bits of fluff on my coat and need to check 😂; also would have liked one of the coffee options to be decaf. Note that are no visible staff- entry by a keybox in door initially- although looks as though someone tops up the coffee daily.

Everything in the house was as shown on Booking. I stayed in a single room which was ideal for one person. Clean, new and comfortable. Although the room is located in the basement with its large window I did not feel bad. The key was easily reachable and check in was very quick , I could reach the staff via Booking if needed. There is a bus stop very close to the house with several buses to various parts of the city. Number 3 takes you to the center with a ride taking 10 minutes. The price I paid was reasonable for an expensive city like Edinburgh. Hope to go back again.

I would love to see a lift but in those old houses it is impossible.

Room looked the same as the pictures provided. Very spacious, comfortable, and clean! The staff cleaned the room and added teas and coffees on the tray every day which was nice. The room was warm and had a heater on. Hot and cold water at all times. Comfortable beds! Nice view on the street and great proximity to bus stops so you can get to the center easily! Easy self check in and check out.

Lack of staff in the property itself. It’s a self check in/check out, which was easy and straightforward, but in case of emergency or if you’d need assistance or help there’s no reception to ask for help. You can contact staff via the doorbell but it wouldn’t be as efficient as having someone on the premises. Quite noisy at night, as the room’s window faced the busy street which has cars and busses going back and forth all the time.

I arrived early and waited for someone to come to the door which in all took about 10mins, but they allowed me to check in which was great as I was going to a wedding. Beds were very comfortable, basic bathroom but pristinely clean. Lots of tea and coffee provided, ironing board and iron, hairdryer. Limited parking spaces but free street parking available only a short walk away. Bus stop about a 1min walk away and 10mins into the centre, cheap and very easy. Would definitely stay here again!

Shower was very hot, too hot. Decor was tired, but room was very clean which was the main thing.

This is a good guest house. I was worried about some reviews I have seen on Booking, but in our case I thought it was very good. The bedroom is very large, and the beds are comfortable. The bathroom is just ok, and too small. I think it was adapted to fit into the room. The location is good, there are several buses to the town centre, it is very easy to go. Due to the high price, I'm not sure if I would return to this property.

The bedroom was very cold, I believe they did not turn the heater on, and although it was summer in Edinburgh, we have to use the duvets and it was still cold! I believe the price is too high! We payed 508 pounds for 3 nights, and 1 night before, they were charging 480 pounds, that was really bad!

Location was good with free car parking on nearby streets. On doorstep for buses into Edinburgh City Centre although we like to walk so good 25 minute walk to the Royal Mile. Our room was at the back of the large Victorian house so nice and quiet. Would add that it was recently refurbished to a very good standard with generous shower room. We stayed early October and no need for heating as our space was nice and cosy. Important to mention, although we booked Arrandale Guest House we stayed in their sister guest house across the street called the Alexander Guest House.

The location is perfect. 2 min walk to the bus stop, 15-20 min by bus and you are in the city centre. We walked one day, it took 40 min to get to the centre. There is a shop 15 min away. The room was huge, the bed was so comfy, and my back said thank you every night after all day walking. There is free tea and coffee, a hair dryer and an iron. The room and bathroom were always clean. The check-in and check-out were easy without any interaction with staff. There was no noise, only from the street because our windows faced the road. But it was fine, you get used to the car noise, and we were so tired after city exploring that we didn't pay attention to this. I really enjoyed my stay a lot. Thank you!

I liked everything. I just have a few comments to know and to improve. It was chilly even with the heating on because the room was huge. But the blanket made everything better. It would be great to put some stuff in the bathroom like a toothbrush holder cup and a shower shelf. The water in the shower was very warm, I prefer hotter water, but again it's just my preference. And when I tried to make it hotter, it was boiling and then very cold. And the room for future improvement is to put mini fridge in the room.

The room was clean and bright. Lovely big window looking out on the back gardens. The bathroom was clean and larger than others I have encountered. Hairdryer and iron supplied in room. Tea/coffee making facilities in room.

After having a shower there was a sewage smell coming from the bathroom. I shut the door and it went away after a little while. No staff, the key was left in a box with a code for me to collect.
