Thsnk you ##### Linda Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Kateryna Sep 3, 2025 Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The room was in terrible condition — the walls were peeling, and there was an unpleasant smell, similar to a dirty carpet. It was impossible to stay with the window closed because of the odor, but when I opened the window, it was very cold. There was also a strange attic that, for some reason, was already open when I arrived. The overall atmosphere was very uncomfortable, with poor renovation and an unpleasant environment. There was no reception desk at all, so there was nobody to contact. The soundproofing was very bad, and noises easily came through, even through a gap under the door. I also found hair on the towels. ##### Kateryna Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Doris Jun 27, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Room was clean but basic ##### Doris Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Elizabeth May 5, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Disliked: Staff & service #### Edinburgh overnight Very clean but needed a couple of basic things.

The only thing I was missing was a fan in the room. There wasn’t a lot of circulation in the room and having to keep curtains closed due to sunlight, it would become hot in room. A small fan would help this. Overall, the room is very nice and right along the bus line to catch into town. Very convenient for traveling. ##### Jocelin Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Joel May 28, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Staff & service Beautiful old building. Great area. Rooms were quite nice and clean. Just no staff were ever present in our three night stay. An elderly couple who couldn’t speak English sat in the front lobby, often. I’m not sure if they worked there cleaning rooms or were a guest but if the worked there they made no attempt to communicate or help out, which was an issue because the front door to the building on a busy street was always left open ##### Joel Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Camila Jun 5, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great stay! The room was very comfortable and clean. The bathroom was inside the room itself, which is great. The shower head had a problem causing some of the water to spray in the wrong direction (my face). I hope that this is fixed because it wastes water and could be solved rather easily . We had no contact with the any staff members, but we received enough information to do the check-in and check-out without having any issues. ##### Camila Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Marie Jun 11, 2024 Disliked: Staff & service Not any communication the man just gave us the key at went. ##### Marie Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller Jul 9, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Staff & service #### Good for backpackers, shared shower This guest house is fine for backpackers and folks on a tight budget. Air B&B style entry (room key in lockbox, get code via talking to someone on a ring camera). My room had only a single bed (as opposed to the double on the hotels.com description) The facilities were not ensuite - there is a shared shower and toilet for all the rooms on the floor. I didn't know how to get internet as I didn't think any staff were on the premises. So I did \*not\* stay the night, I dropped my key into the express checkout and booked myself into a local hotel (Novotel) instead. The parts I did see were nicely decorated and clean tho. Enjoy it if you are into this style. I like to have a bigger bed and my own shower. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/49C4D77FF3E5FAA770060BB3CCC266728E1219A91657381341262.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/C86F5800695B8B6492631D38EA8542A84577A01B1657381346494.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/61B70EF0D2D770EE9E78D0B51123D39252D969381657381341775.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jul 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Delwyn Oct 5, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities I loved my room here (number 7). Bigger than other single rooms I had on my trip, beautiful wallpaper, window seat, lovely view of Arthurs Seat. Bathroom was small and the water pressure wasn't great.

These are quite common in Edinburgh, and there are quite a few of them in the same area. Recently renovated and clean. The other guests were all quite which was nice. A short distance from the action of the Royal Mile, about 10 min by buses that run ever few minutes. WiFi was very slow, but other then that it was a great place to stay and I would stay here again. ##### Dave Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Laura Aug 6, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort #### Average but served a purpose We stayed here for a night during the Edinburgh Festival and it was well located - 5 min taxi ride, and on bus route. Parking advertised but after enquiring via email, and trying to phone for days, I only received an email on the day of arrival to say only 2 spaces, first come, first served (and they were both busy). Room small and basic as expected, but bathroom pipes made extremely loud noise upon flushing, and also sporadically through the night keeping us awake. Curtains not great at keeping light out and busy road was noisy through the night / early morning. Shower started ok, before also making loud noise and cutting out. Defo had more comfortable stays but not terrible and we were maybe just unlucky with room... ##### Laura Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Josephine Aug 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very clean and tidy, with a very comfy bed and good shower.

My room was very clean with tea and coffee and useful items such as hand soap and hairdryer. I could have ironed a shirt too. Check in process very easy, just felt a bit odd that I saw no-one at all either staff or other guests! Would stay there again as very convenient. ##### Henrietta Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Maria Regina Jul 22, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Its quiet and safe neighborhood.
