For the price point of the property you have to go in with certain expectations, I had these expectations altered during my stay, the room was clean, the bed was comfy and the host was very kind and helpful. I specifically stayed in the Double Room with King Bed and ensuite and cant fault anything.

Even though during booking there was statement that room has private bathroom, toilet was on the second floor (room on the 1) and shower in opposite from the room part of the first floor, room was cold and not spotlessly clean, it's noisy every time when someone going down and up stairs.

Could do better

Rooms below ground level , you could smell the damp. All locks liked they were going to come away in your hand. TV aerial was a naked cable with some blue tack on the end, did not connect to TV so unable to use TV

The staff at Sakura guest house did a great job of providing for me. The room was large and comfortable. The bathroom was in a different room off the hallway but was private, for my use only. Great value; I would stay here again.

Decent place to stay for a night or two. Great price. Great location with bus stops near by and walking distance from the train station. Easy check in and check out. It’s slightly annoying you have to walk through a corridor to get to the toilet/bathroom & the facilities could be cleaner.

Wow. And not in a good way! My friend and I learned a valuable lesson on our first trip to Edinburgh: ALWAYS read the reviews before booking. The Sakura B&B is no B&B: no breakfast, REALLY old linens, so old I would not use them to comfort a stray dog or cat, no ensuite as indicated on their website, but rather a bathroom down the hall and around the corner: turn right just before the leaking ceiling! Who would want to shower in a moldy shower or brush their teeth in rusty, moldy sink? A dark, dank, basement room with a filthy window, decorated with deodorizer units, and a "garden view" of sewage pipes, and a stone wall festooned with moss and mildew. Extension cords running across the carpets - yes, carpeting that helped to build upper body strength as one tried to open or close the door. It was a delight to hear the conversations in the next room well into the late hours. Not. And goodness knows what bit me during the nights we stayed but I awakened with a patch of bite marks on my face, with dots of blood on my pillow...and the little beast that I squashed on my bed. Oh, but there was one good thing: my wrinkled shirt lost all its wrinkles in the room as a result of the dampness.

Room was small and basic but comfortable enough for a base to explore the city. Plenty of eateries available nearby and regular buses into the centre for those who don’t fancy a twenty minute walk.

Struttura pulita a 15 min a piedi dal Royal Mile, disponibili servizi nelle vicinanze e con accesso limitrofo al parco di Holyrood… Host molto gentile, ci ha permesso il check in anticipato e dimostrato comprensione verso la rottura del copri water per la quale ho comunque lasciato un contributo monetario (20€)

Bien ubicado. Se puede ir andando al centro de la ciudad y visitar todos los puntos de interés. La habitación bien, pero las sábanas estaban un poco sucias y en la habitación olía un poco a pies. En nuestra habitación había baño privado, en las demás no estaría seguro.

I was met with a very warm welcome by a happy and friendly Manager when i arrived at the hotel. The Manager took the time to show me to my room and to explain the facilities. The room was very clean, the large bed in my chosen room was very comfortable. The ensuite bathroom was lovely, the shower was electric so there was plenty of hot water. The toilet was very clean with a washbasin which had a full liquid soap dispenser. The room facilities included a comfortable chair to relax in plus Tea and Coffee making facilities with a good selection of tea's and coffee plus cream and sugar. Also a large bottle of Spring water and glasses was made available for my convenience. The room itself was well cleaned and to note the room smelled clean, with no nasty odours. A credit to the cleaning staff at the hotel. As a footnote on my very honest review here and to be very clear .... the room that i stayed in did have some tired furniture, but everything worked as it should and for the price that i payed i was more than pleasantly surprised....i was very happy. The hotel is in a great location with many local takeaways and restaurants nearby, a selection of handy nearby small shops plus supermarkets including Sainsbury's and the Coop. Bus stops within 5 minutes walking distance of the hotel, with buses every 5 to 10 minutes into Edinburgh if you don't fancy the 25 minute walk. All in all i was delighted with my stay in the hotel and would definitely recommend this to others.

Worst accommodation I’ve ever stayed at.

Terrible and damp basement room with a broken door lock, horrible smell, and poor condition overall. The television cable was cut, the private toilet was a shared, dirty toilet down the corridor and the shower was unusable (the gaps were hanging out of the wall). The walls are thin, I had a window looking into the hallway, and the place felt like a dive with the owners clearly just pocketing the money and putting into their own pockets, with no investment in maintaining the place. Wouldn’t recommend for business or leisure. Was extremely uncomfortable and would rather sleep under the rail bridge than here again.

モーテルですね

エディンバラが良い都市なので、夏になると、ロンドンとの気温差が5度から10度あるために国内外からリンバに人が押し寄せます。そのため、7月から8月は宿の値段が恐ろしく高いです。そのことを大前提として書くと、このホテルは、地下に部屋があって、数部屋に1つ、トイレとシャワーが共有されています。ただこの部屋が大変寒くて、外は記録を更新するような夏日だったのに、地下に降りた途端に寒くなり驚きました。部屋の清潔感は、それほど不潔ではありません。ただWi-Fiは、かろうじて入る程度なので、隣の建物のフリーWi-Fiの方がよほどスムーズに見られる位です。おそらくはオーナーさんの問題かと思いますが、初日に鍵を渡されると、その時にチェックアウトのときの説明までされ、後は、何か用事があるときには部屋のドアに張り紙がされます。ただこの張り紙が、工事が入るから、トイレが上の階のものを使っていいとか、夜中の何時から何時までは音を立てるなとか、身に覚えがないことを書かれると、一方的だなぁ、と感じますね。そして上の階のトイレは汚れていて、水の貯水が悪く、前の人のものが残っていたり、自分のものが流れなかったりもしました。部屋のファシリティーとしては、ベッドと洗面台、クロークとテレビ、またコーヒー紅茶は実質飲み放題です。その辺はとても気に入りました。場所的にはそれほど悪くないところにあるので、内装を回収すれば、割と人気のホテルになれる可能性があるのですが、オーナーさんがそれを望んでないからこそ、今のような状態になってるんだろうなと思います。なので、トータルで言うと、安いからその他のところは我慢して、寝るだけのための場所と割り切ることをお勧めします。

Budget stay. Not my cup of tea. The place was very dated. My room was in the basement, but it did have a window that looked up into a courtyard. The host was super accommodating and very nice and promised that the four keys that I had to keep track of would be eventually replaced with an updated card system.
