It's outside of the tourist area which is a great benefit. After a day of the crowded downtown it's very nice to get back to a quiet neighborhood with local restaurants nearby. I highly recommend going to Saint Mary's coffee shop when they open at 8:30, only a few blocks away for a good and fairly priced breakfast. Quiet, wi-fi, good food, nice staff and a good cause. In the other direction from Atlas Guest House are the Botanical Gardens - also a fine place for a respite from the more touristic areas.

The room is really big with high ceilings, making it feel very spacious. The room is equipped with all basic stuff you will need for a simple stay. Don't expect anything fancy but with the price it's really good enough. It's located in a quiet neighborhood but close enough to the city centre. The staff was friendly and helpful.

Nothing really

Thіs Atlas Guest House is located within walking distance of Edinburgh's lively historic areas. The location itself is quiet and safe. The friendly Management are always glad to help to the best of their ability to improve the accommodation for their guests. If it is chilly, the heating is turned on at night which is very good. There was a kettle and all tea and coffee making facilities in the room, as well as delicious biscuits.There is a microwave and a fridge in the common area: this is very comfortable.

My single room did not have a new and fresh look. The furniture could be called antique, but it was really old. The common areas (corridor, stairs and hallway) were nice though. (I guess I just didn't get the best room at this Guest House.)

I have no other than positive comments. Meryam received us so gently and ready to make our stay comfortable, immediately syncing on our needs as a family specially contemplating that we had (young) kids with us. The location is fantastic, just a couple of minutes walk from many important city historical points, the room size was great with a lot of attention to detail.

Cant believe this doesn’t have 10 stars already, first the location for the value of money you pay is ideal, its literally a walking distance from st james quarter, the cleanliness is spotless, the first thing my mum noticed is the fresh smell and its not just an air perfume you can literally smell and feel the cleanliness. The staff accommodated every request we had since i had an infant and an elderly mum so we needed a little more special care and they provided everything. 10/10 experience. Highly recommend.

Parking but its the centre of Edinburgh so its expected.

Great value for Money! The guest House gives great Access to the Touristy area of Edinburgh, the room was Clean, and comfortable with enough space to put down the bags, there was an Electric kettle Provided, bath room was shared with one other Party, which was Fine, there was a fridge in the corridor, very practical. Staff was friendly and helpful, Shops and Cafés etc are Close by. Furniture is a Bit old and used, but otherwise great stay

As far as i can Tell there was no lift which could be a Problem for Immobilie Persons.

The room was spacious with plenty of wardrobe and drawer space. The location was a 5-10 minute walk from the Theatre and St James Quarter, which was really good for us. There are a couple of restaurants and bars across the road, which was very handy. Tea/coffee/milk/sugar and biscuits were replenished daily, and can I just say...the salted car amel shortbread was an absolute treat! Thank you!

Due to the house being an old building there was only 1 plug socket for the kettle and the tv, so we had to put the kettle on the floor to make tea/coffee when the tv was on. Again, the high ceilings made the room feel cold (along with the shocking temperature outside), but although the heating system was on all day and night (thank you!) the room still felt cold.
