Clean and comfortable. The best of both worlds (AirBnB and hotel). The room was made up every morning but the cost was quite low. I'd stay again when I return to Edinburgh.

This wasn’t a very confident location with my grandmother bc there a large amount of walking to the tram and bus. But someone younger like myself it was a great location! The room was small but beautiful! The bed was comfy and the pillows were great! The staff were so friendly and accommodating and helpful! We stayed 2 nights here and we were very pleased with our stay!

We stayed here during the pandemonium that was Taylor Swift’s tour and it was exactly what we needed. Easy transportation into the city center on the tram but far enough removed from the hustle and bustle that it was very peaceful! Highly recommend. The front desk is a little unorthodox but anytime we needed to talk to someone, we called the number they provided and had help within minutes.

Easy access to transportation into Edinburgh. Unfortunately they were unable to provide breakfast however cup cakes or shortbread cookies were offered at reception and they were delicious. The room was quiet even though the hotel was in a busy area.

The place was charming. I loved my room - very much a guest house, more like a B&B than a hotel, which is what I wanted. The small decanter of Scotch in the room and the shortbread biscuits were a delightful touch. While the location might seem less than than central, it was only a short and easy bus ride from central Edinburgh - though I preferred walking up Leith Walk into town, which has lots of cafes, pubs, bookstores, used record stores, etc. along it. Suited me down to the ground

We got a parking space right in front of the guest house, got into the hotel, very easily, and found our room. Very pleased to have a small glass of port that came with the room. We walked two blocks down to have dinner at a Polish restaurant, then walked across the street to have a glass of scotch in a pub with great ambience. The bus stops in Front tomorrow, so it will be very convenient.

A nice place in a great location, close to transport, a park & nice shops. The room we stayed in was perhaps a bit more run-down than the website pictures let on (chipped paint & scuffed walls, precariously hung curtains, loud squeaky hinges on door, and a tricky knob on bathroom door). But it was clean & the complimentary sherry was a cute touch.

Very clean and quiet. We stayed in a room with a queen bed and a twin bed. The twin bed was extremely loud and squeaky. Anytime the person sleeping on it moved in the night we all woke up due to the noise.
