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 #### Catherine Jun 28, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We stayed at this Guesthouse on 2 separate nights. We were able to check in early and staff were very polite and considerate. Beautiful old property just needs a little refresh. ##### 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 #### Nicholas Nov 21, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Clean comfortable spacious guest house in a lovely area, within walking distance of Arthur's Seat and the University ##### Nicholas Stayed 2 nights in Nov 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 #### Zachary b May 7, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Roy was an incredible Host at a beautiful location.

Lots of really great coffee spots nearby and some amazing food options without the tourist tax of the city centre. I will definitely stay again next time we're up. ##### Mark Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Lucy Nov 15, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Good stay Very comfortable ##### Lucy Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Yehoo Aug 14, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Room was clean and spacious, stuff were extra nice and helpfull beyond expectation. ##### Yehoo Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Ahmad Nov 21, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service A very convenient place close to the attractions. The place needs a bit of renovation but is located in a good area. Can use some comfortable mattresses as the current ones are not good and the bathroom fan was too loud. ##### Ahmad Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Brian Dec 14, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort #### Southside B&B Comfortable room, but we had a room at the front of the building and lots of traffic noise. ##### Brian Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Laurel Aug 27, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Walkable distance to Royal Mile, very clean, pleasant staff. Property is tired tho and could use fresh coat of paint and decor update. Would stay here again. ##### Laurel Stayed 1 night in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Su juan Sep 6, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This property was great.

No complaints. ##### Su juan Stayed 1 night in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peter Mar 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This reresents excellent valuw. Rooms was very clean, all the facilities you would need. No need to pay double the price for something probably not as good. Will definitely book again next time I visit Edinburgh. ##### Peter Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Aug 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness #### Not great for the price It's a great location - tons of restaurants and bars nearby, lots of buses to get around the city or a short 20 min walk from the city center. Very safe. The shower had good water pressure and the hotel and surrounding area were quiet. The room was clean. The beds were incredibly uncomfortable, the room needs a fan as theres no AC, and a few shelves and a box of tissues would go a long way. We were also supposed to be able to check in at 2 pm but the room wasnt ready until 3 pm (and only then because we were getting impatient). They will hold your bags while you wait. This place would be fine for a night or two, but not very comfortable for 5 nights. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Sheree Sep 5, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful old building. Local neighborhood feel. Great porridge. Hot showers. Very clean and modern bathroom. Our room was at the back and so very quiet. Restaurants to walk to. Owners were very pleasant and helpful. Easy to get to city center via bus. Enjoyed our stay. ##### Sheree Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Russell Aug 8, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Reasonable price considering it was during the Festival time. Very spacious bedroom, with space for sofa and floor space for suitcases. Very friendly and accommodating host. No problem to leave bags early before check-in. Good cooked breakfast for 8.5 pounds. Easy walking distance to main sites in the city. ##### Russell Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Peter Jul 21, 2024 The lady in charge was friendly and helpful. There was only Continental breakfast available, and that was limited and cost extra. I booked here because my usual guest house was not available, paid quite a bit more for a top floor room with sloping roof and very small window. ##### Peter Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 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 #### Benjamin Sep 1, 2024 Liked: Staff & service, amenities Management responded instantly so I believe they are very invested in their customers. I think the bed mattress should be upgraded. The bathroom floor in our room was a bit water logged and grout needed to be cleaned. I do think this is a safe hotel with a good rate per night. ##### Benjamin Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Matthew Sep 25, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities The best thing was the area, several good eating spots and was convenient for the university where I was at a conference, however I would not choose to stay here again, I felt it was very overpriced for what it was. I was in a small single room which felt very dated and a bit shabby. One out of three mornings I had no hot water ##### Matthew Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dawn Feb 6, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Had a one night stay, I called ahead as we had some queries and one of the hosts name Roy was very informative and happy to help, we stayed in one of the queen rooms on the ground floor room 8\. Was very clean and comfortable. The only thing we found was the toilet flush effects the shower temp, the shower itself was very good. Don't know about breakfast as we didn't have any but it is available. 10/10 would highly recommend and will most definitely revisit. ##### Dawn ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Feb 4, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Room comfort #### Lovely guest house, uncomfy bed. Well located for the City Centre, especially if you're there Sat/Sun and there is free street parking around. Check in instructions and communication from the owner was excellent. The rooms are immaculately clean as well. Only fault, and sadly it's a pretty big one was that the bed was awful. The metal frame was creaky, so anytime you turn in the night it creaks. The mattress as well was really uncomfortable, hard and not pleasant at all. Didn't have a great sleep and woke up with a sore back. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Sheraton Grand Hotel & Spa, Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Sheraton-Grand-Hotel-Spa.h15554.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Edinburgh Carlton](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Hilton-Edinburgh-Carlton.h1648.Hotel-Information) > > [Motel One Edinburgh - Royal](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Motel-One-Edinburgh-Royal.h5333965.Hotel-Information) > > [Apex Waterloo Place Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Apex-Waterloo-Place-Hotel.h2278092.Hotel-Information) > > [Apex City of Edinburgh Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Apex-City-Of-Edinburgh-Hotel.h800968.Hotel-Information) > > [The Balmoral Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-The-Balmoral-Hotel.h9339.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Edinburgh-Marriott-Hotel.h873944.Hotel-Information) > > [Point A Hotel Edinburgh Haymarket](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Point-A-Hotel-Edinburgh-Haymarket.h37166264.Hotel-Information) > > [Aparthotel Adagio Edinburgh Royal Mile](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Aparthotel-Adagio-Edinburgh-Royal-Mile.h16281979.Hotel-Information) > > [Old Town Chambers, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Cheval-Old-Town-Chambers.h6175181.Hotel-Information) > > [Courtyard by Marriott Edinburgh West](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Courtyard-By-Marriott-Edinburgh-West.h19218414.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Hotel, Edinburgh City Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Hotel.h4270.Hotel-Information) > > [Market Street Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Market-Street-Hotel.h29507352.Hotel-Information) > > [The Scotsman Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-The-Scotsman-Hotel.h570820.Hotel-Information) > > [Wilde Aparthotels, Edinburgh, Grassmarket](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Wilde-Apartments-By-Staycity-Grassmarket.h39822833.Hotel-Information) > > [InterContinental Edinburgh The George by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-InterContinental-Edinburgh-The-George.h20436.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis Styles Edinburgh Centre St Andrew Square](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Ibis-Styles-Edinburgh-Centre-St-Andrew-Square.h7841147.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis Edinburgh Centre South Bridge - Royal Mile](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Ibis-Edinburgh-Centre-South-Bridge-Royal-Mile.h6793484.Hotel-Information) > > [Eden Locke](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Eden-Locke.h17859332.Hotel-Information) > > [The Caledonian Edinburgh, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-The-Caledonian-Edinburgh.h4198.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis Edinburgh Centre Royal Mile – Hunter Square](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Ibis-Edinburgh-Centre-Royal-Mile-Hunter-Square.h200875.Hotel-Information) > > [Holyrood Aparthotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Holyrood-Aparthotel.h561406.Hotel-Information) > > [Fraser Suites Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Fraser-Suites-Edinburgh.h2278102.Hotel-Information) > > [Novotel Edinburgh Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Novotel-Edinburgh-Centre.h982662.Hotel-Information) > > [Apex Grassmarket Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Apex-Grassmarket-Hotel.h62750.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo Hotel Edinburgh Haymarket](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Leonardo-Royal-Edinburgh-Haymarket.h4035314.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express - Edinburgh City Centre by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Edinburgh-City-Centre.h1088215.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Collection Hotel, Royal Mile Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Radisson-Collection-Hotel.h2775480.Hotel-Information) > > [Kimpton Charlotte Square by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Kimpton-Charlotte-Square-Hotel.h571654.Hotel-Information)
