Exceptionally clean, newly renovated basic room with flat screen tv and towel warmer. On a quiet residential street that’s a 15 minute bus ride from the center of Edinburgh.

Room clean but very airless and hot. Breakfast excellent. No choice of breakfast times however i.e. When I asked what time breakfast was served I was told 8.30am. I asked for later and was offered 8.45am. Shower water pressure very poor but water hot and plenty of towels and toiletries

The room was ok but up too many stairs and so very small (as was the TV). No fan in the room either and this was a muggy night. Again, a small though tastefully enough done, bathroom. Only room for 2 cars to park so had to leave my car a bit away from the property on the street.

Cheap and cheerful
Hosts were very caring and lovely to chat to. Guest house is very dated, compared to other houses on the same street, old carpets and wallpaper etc. No work seems to have been done for a long time. Comfortable but drainage problems upstairs, bathroom smelled a lot and water came up through the bath when toilet was flushed with a smelly odur. Cheap and cheerful, nothing luxury but lovely hosts.

We were on the top floor but the only disadvantage was the drainage system. There was a drainage filter in the bathroom which was loud. It was ok for us in the room, but made you feel very conscious about the guests below as any water drained started the filter up.

Good lodgings at an affordable price
Very polite & helpful staff. Clean, cozy & comfortable rooms. A short walk to the city center & located very close to buses for those that prefer mass transit. The bathroom was a bit cramped, but the price couldn't be beat. Would stay there again in a heartbeat.

Short stay in Scotland
Check in was easy, the host was very kind and informative. The room was a tad old fashioned but it had a charm about it. I was comfortable and left to myself. I didn't feel like anyone was going to bother me which is what I wanted. The only issue was one of the housemates singing in the shower 😂 besides that it was a fine stay.

A PLEASANT, OVERNIGHT STAY AT FALCON CREST
The couple who ran the guest house were most welcoming and the husband even offered to meet us by car as we had got off at the wrong bus stop and had telephoned to ask directions. The booked room was good and the twin beds very comfortable. We enjoyed breakfast in the morning and left on foot heading in the right direction for the bus. There would have been ample parking on the quiet road had we driven. Good value for money and easy access.

Falcon Crest - a home from home in Edinburgh
I received a warm welcome by very friendly and helpful owners. A cosy little bedroom, a good value for money. Quiet residential area, a convenient bus connection to the city centre - bus stop line 27 very close. Happy to recommend this Guest House - if I ever come to Edinburgh again, I would love to stay here. Thank you - it is a real home from home.

Warm friendly welcome, no dour Scots here (if they exist) and always enquired after your comfort and your day. Nice family with spotlessly clean accommodation, complimentary tea and coffee available in the room and immaculate bathroom and toilet facilities. When I book to go again I will request lower floor accommodation as after several heart attacks I found the stairs a wee challenge. However they carried my cases up and treat me superbly throughout my stay.

Good location
We stayed in an attic room with 2 single beds and shared a bathroom. The room was very clean. It was warm though and there was little air circulation. There was no common area or desk in the room. There was an old TV with cable but it was awkward to watch. The owners are very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. Bus was conveniently located.

Affordable Pet-Friendly Guest House in Edinburgh
This was the most affordable pet friendly hotel that was available in Edinburgh when we booked about a month in advance. It's in a residential area so it's quiet and street parking is free, but you should be aware that in the evening when everyone is home from work, parking is limited and you may have to walk a block or two. I was not really privy to what a guesthouse was, but it is someone's home... in case there are others out there that don't know. I really wasn't sure if I was supposed to go right in, ring the doorbell, or knock. I did a combination since there were two doors and the second was locked. The owners are very very pleasant. They're warm, welcoming, accommodating, and friendly without being overbearing or over-involved. They truly were a delight. They were perfectly fine with our large dog staying with us and there weren't any problems. The room was clean overall but the bathroom was in a state of disrepair. Like many UK bathrooms, the ventilation was poor so it seemed to be an ongoing battle with the damp and moisture. The flooring was wavy and coming up in places and their seemed to be some issues battling mold on the caulking. We had a room with an en suite but others have shared toilet and shower facilities, I'm not sure what those are like. I suppose the only REAL Complaint I had was the bed. It was so uncomfortable. You could feel every spring. Luckily we'd been camping and just brought our sleep pads in and put them under the sheets.

Worst place I've stayed ever
Please beware that breakfast is served from 8am to 8.30am and if you change of mind or sleep in then you will still be charged for it if you are the only guest, plus the TV was ancient, the bed was rock hard and I had to share a toilet and bath with another guest. Very disappointing.

Cozy
An old three story townhouse (no rooms on ground floor, rooms on floors 1 and 2) that has been converted to a hotel. Bathrooms are shared to about 2 rooms to a bathroom. Bathroom is generally next to the bedroom. Beds (mine had two doubles) were old but somewhat comfortable. Very clean and no smell. Reasonable price for the place.

Tired and a bit dilapidated
Welcoming host. VERY noisy Saniflo unit in the bathroom. No lampshades on the bedside lights. Overall it was poor and very expensive for what it is. You can stay in a Premier Inn in many areas of the country for a cheaper price than that charged by the Falcon Crest.

Quiet residential location in North of Edinburgh
Falcon Crest was in an ideal location for our visit to our daughter which is why we chose it over others. Our accommodation was on the 2nd floor in a small double room in the attic. There was quite a lot of noise from the water tank when other people used the water system. The floor was very creaky and the bedside lightbulbs were rather too bright! We could hear the guests in the room next door. Breakfast was served in the family's dining room which they vacated for the breakfast time. We were not offered a choice of juice or type of bread for toast at breakfast which would have been nice. It was very much like staying in someone's family home rather than a dedicated guest house, although the hosts were pleasant. We managed to find free on street parking reasonably close.

There additional help on there own area how to travel to and from place to place was well above expectations. The bb is very traditional and suits the traveller who likes things more homely.
