Nice owners! It’s a bit out of the way but bus stops are very close. Mattress very firm. Small shower. Dated room. Overall we really enjoyed our stay because we were only needing a place to sleep and shower. I definitely would stay again. It feels very safe here. Restaurants are down the road about 5-10 minute walk. 30 minute walk to Royal mile/Princess. Bus is like 5 minutes from the main areas.

Good place to stay!

The check in and out was very handy no issues. The room was clean and very comfortable and had everything you needed. In a great location with a bus stop into town literally right across the road- the hosts were on site if needed!

The location of this place was very good. About a mile to the Royal Mile, Castle and Market. Good choices of restaurants in walking distance. 1 of the smallest places I've ever stayed at. I'm 6'0" and I barely fit in the shower. Hardly any room for our luggage without tripping over it. The people running the place were so great. So friendly. Always available for any issues we had. Their 1 son was even an Uber driver which made things very convenient.

The guest house was great for what i needed. Location was perfect - lots of buses that stop right outside and take you directly up to the city centre, but also easily walkable as well. The guest house is also close to the start of trails for Arthur’s Seat. It was very easy to check in and check out, and the guest house was super clean.

A pleasant and comfortable stay.

It's a little away from the city centre, about 25 minutes on foot, and I walked most days. The bus stop is right outside if you don't want to walk and buses run frequently so no problem there. The bathroom was small but clean and people were quiet helpful. No lifts, but they'll give you a hand with the luggage if you ask. They don't serve breakfast but there are plenty of shops nearby. I was a solo female traveller and sometimes left very early in the morning when it still dark and nobody was about, and i felt quite safe. All in all, no complaints, Edinburgh hotels are expensive and this place was good at the price.

stay satisfactory, almost everything as expected

- Rooms were small as expected, bathroom even smaller (for some people definitely too small. - the location is excellent, to the Royal Mile 10 minutes by bus, 25 on foot . The landlord was very friendly, helpful and had good suggestions for activities, restaurants, etc. - parking on the ground available, not free - too expensive compared to other guest houses in the immediate vicinity
