Stort rum med allt man kan behöva. Lätt att hitta deras parkering. Busshållplatsen låg nära som tog oss in till city. Billig och bra boende.

The rooms was okay, the ceiling was leaking during the rainy days we were there. The heating wasn’t working. Not well maintained but the location was very good. Also no lifts.

The location was great — very close to the bus stop! The hosts were nice. Some of the decor was a little dated but it was overall a good experience:)

The guesthouse is a great place to stay if you’re on a budget or even just in Edinburgh for a short period of time. It’s about a ~30/45min walk to central Edinburgh, however it is right off of the local bus lines which made it very easy to commute in/out of the city. The room was spacious with plenty of storage, had a tv/fridge/and tea kettle, and the bed was comfortable and big enough to share between two people. The bedroom door was thick enough to where it was hard to hear people in the hallway talking, but you could hear other doors opening and closing. The shared bathrooms are convenient to each room, but I would recommend bringing shower shoes to get from place to place. The bathroom itself was very clean. The two negatives I had of the bathroom were low supply of toilet paper and soap at times and the water pressure was very low. It would be a struggle to wash your hair if you’re a female. Overall, we had a great experience for the cost, service, and expectation of the Guesthouse.

Big clean room for 4 people for two nights. 25 mins walk from Royal mile which was fine and on the bus route if preferred. Only issue shower head already broken so had to hold the shower. Otherwise great stay for the price. Would definitely recommend

Other than it taking quite a long time for the door to be opened after ringing the bell it was pretty good.

We found the place easily. Parking was fine. Staff was pleasant and helpful. The room was small but fine for a night. The bed though was made with an old, dainty iron frame. It creaked a lot at the slight movement. Public transportation is nearby. We even walked back from downtown Edinburgh.

The staff was very helpful but not around much, you could contact them through a WhatsApp number. My room didn’t have a private bathroom, but it had a kettle, a mini fridge and a sink, so it was comfortable. The bed was lumpy making it a bit hard to sleep, and the window didn’t open more than four fingers, so it got very hot inside the room. Bedding and towels were very clean, but the overall state of the guest house was dated and I would argue neglected. The shared bathrooms were not as bad as I thought, I didn’t have to wait or ran into other guests while using them. The shower was clean, but had signs of mold on the corners and the bathroom with the shower looked like it hadn’t been updated or maintained in quite a few years. The location is amazing, with lots of busses stopping right in front, both towards and from the city center. There’s cafes and 24/7 convenience store on the next block, so it’s easy to grab food and a snack even if the guest house itself doesn’t have a kitchen or breakfast service. Overall, I think it was a nice stay for the price, the cheapest private bedroom close to the city center. The property could definitely improve with a loving hand and a deep clean, so it frustrates me that such simple measures are not being done.
