It is also located in a nice neighborhood, with several good restaurants and coffee shops close-by, and a reasonable walk (about a mile) to the Royal Mile. ##### Gail Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pa Mar 31, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Excellent and really nice place I will definitely come again next time. ##### Pa Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Catherine Jun 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities Good: handy location, spacious room and spotlessly clean. Staff member I saw was very friendly and helpful Bad: slightly shabby decor in places. Also expensive but that seems to be the norm for Edinburgh - definitely pricier than previous visits to the city. ##### Catherine Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Haopeng Jul 12, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Cozy guest house with convinient transportation access! ##### Haopeng Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mark Nov 24, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Lovely comfortable, spacious room.

A short bus ride into central Edinburgh and reasonable fares. The guest house was a little run down, but very clean and charming. our room was at the front of the guest house and i was expecting traffic noise, but it was very quiet and we had a good nights sleep. ##### Berenice Stayed 1 night in Jun 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Aug 14, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort Too expensive, impression was possibly a two-star place with hard beds, noisy rooms and sloppy painted / decorated. Breakfast could at least be included. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Jeroen Mar 28, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Sweet little guesthouse in strategic location. Nice and very clean room, albeit a bit noisy. Big bed, soft and comfortable linen, mattrass a bit less comfortable. More than friendly and very helpful staff. Excellent breakfast! Located @ 15min walk from The Royal Mile, and surrounded by lots of restaurants. The one across the street was good! ##### Jeroen Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Sharon Sep 18, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Wonderfully decorated room. Bed could use a new mattress. Very clean and quiet. Finding a parking place was a problem. ##### Sharon Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Hugo Jul 2, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Good breakfast, ample breakfast area. No lift, hard climbing to our first floor room. The room had nowhere to place the clothes. ##### Hugo Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Manjunath Sep 16, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Pleasant stay It was a pleasant stay. Located on a busy road but luckily my room was facing the back of the hotel so it was nice and quiet. There were no reception staff after 6pm but check in instructions were sent to me which was straight forward. The kettle was not in a good condition, I didn’t use it. There was no heating in the room but I was provided with a small portable electric heater which did the job. It would struggle to heat up the room in winter months especially December onwards. There are few good restaurants nearby. ##### Manjunath Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Jun 24, 2023 Liked: Staff & service #### Disappointing stay The host was friendly and nice. We were placed on the ground floor. The room is a bit run down and smells musky. One of the bedside lamp doesn’t work. We got back after 10pm, there is no hot water from the sink tap. The bottom part of the sink was detached. There’s no sound proof whatsoever we could hear everything and everyone from outside. Now I would accept all of these, but I paid £160 so I am very disappointed. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jun 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Emma Oct 31, 2025 Room spotless, lovely decoration.

Not very welcoming. High degree of utility. Nice artworks. Didn’t see any staff at all when I left so went on my way leaving the key as indicated in a glass jar ##### Janette Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Carlos Dec 29, 2024 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Muy agradable y comodo lugar, es pequeño pero ideal para moverse en Edimburgo, SOLO SI LES RECOMIENDO CONTACTAR PREVIAMENTE AL PROPIETARIO PARA QUE OBTENGAN SU CLAVE DE ACCESO ##### Carlos Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Anne Dec 25, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Goede locatie Locatie ligt net buiten het drukke centrum, 25 minuutjes lopen of met de bus (meerdere busverbindingen).
