Great location with a great host.

This was our first stop in Scotland and we could not have picked a better place to stay. Murray the host was lovely and welcoming, so helpful and the room was perfect for us. Location is great so close to everything and the bus station is right next door!!

Gemütliche Unterkunft mit Herz mittendrin in Edinburgh

Tolle Lage mitten in Edinburgh mit guter Anbindung zu Bus und Bahn. Es gab einen herzlichen Empfang und ein super schottisches Frühstück. Das Zimmer war gemütlich mit einem nostalgischen Flair.

Die vielen Treppen, was für ein Haus in diesem Alter aber normal ist.

Great spot if you are out most of the day as central and the breakfast sets you up well.

Breakfast was exceptional and host was welcoming and informative. The location is excellent not far from Waverley station and tram stops.

The rooms are a bit dated and our bathroom was very small. Also I think the carpets in the public area are showing their age.

Lovely place in an ideal location.

Murray, the host, was amazing. He was so helpful, friendly and attentive. The room was super clean and the beds very comfortable. The location is ideal. It's a very short walk from the train station so you're close to everything. Breakfast was good with a good choice of cereals and hot meal options. We had the full Scottish breakfast and the scrambled eggs on toast, super tasty! Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again.

lovey guest house in the centre of Edinburg

excellent location within minutes walking to the city centre touristic spots. great friendly staff with great knowledge of the city and tips (like where to park for free not far from the property) nice facilities, nice size room with plenty of space for clothes/suitcase. full tray for teas and coffees really nice breakfast, cooked to order, with plenty of options to satisfy all customers

next to the bus station so might get a little bit noisy at night or early hours of the day. nothing different from a hotel in Princess Street

Murray was very welcoming and helpful, offering ideas for things to do during our time in Edinburgh that we might not have see or done otherwise. We had a great stay and lovely breakfast. Very happy to have found this gem and to be able to stay for another night at the end of our tour of Scotland. It was a very convenient location as well, 10-20 minute walk to everything we wanted to see!

We had a wonderful overnight stay here during the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

Murray the host messaged us in the morning to check our ETA and advised us we could check in early in order to make the most of attending the shows we had booked. We received a lovely warm welcome and were offered some advice about where to go during our stay, which we followed and had a lovely night. Breakfast in the morning was exceptional, cooked fresh to order and was delicious. Murray allowed us to leave our luggage with him after we had checked out so we could enjoy another day in the city without having to carry a suitcase about. Absolutely fantastic service from start to finish and made our time in Edinburgh so much more enjoyable. An absolute gem of a place and we would highly recommend it and will certainly check availability here first for any future stays in Edinburgh, we would love to return!

Nice place, nice people, not great value for money.

Breakfast was very nice. Staff were personable and attentive. The building was in a very choice location in the city.

The room wasn't a lot for the money. Also, it's a rather noisy spot, out over the street, with the trams and the loading area for St James Shopping Center right outside.
