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.

Friendly staff, delicious breakfast , close to Train station and other city attractions.

No elevator

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

We had to reschedule our visit at very short notice. No-one could have more understanding, caring or helpful than Murray.

Nothing!

Great Scottish service!

The bed and bathroom were a bit small.

Great location in the city centre, close to the station and bus garage for getting around the city. Great host, friendly and knowledgeable, giving us plenty of ideas of where to go and what to see.

Room ok just a little tired. mattress badly worn

Location Helpful staff

Too many stairs Road noise

Murray’s a great host, makes one feel very welcome. I really enjoyed my stay - homely, welcoming and unpretentious. Would definitely stay again. Thank you!

The location was for us excellent close to the amenities we required. Breakfast was first class with many options. Staff were warm and friendly. Would certainly consider a future visit here.

The shower in our room was slightly difficult to use.

Central location. Welcoming host. Comfortable beds. Excellent breakfast. Good value for money.

Decor a bit dated, could do with refreshing. Noise from roadworks.

Murray( The Host) was very friendly! Very accommodating and the breakfasts were amazing!! 10/10

Had a lovely stay at the Elder York Guest House over NYE. Murray was a lovely host making us feel very welcome and gave lots of great advice and recommendations for our trip. The breakfast was a great addition to the stay with lots of options. The location was also perfect, just a short walk to all the tourist spots. Would recommend!

Very good Host Murray! he had loads of recommendations, especially local ones.

it was a bit cold in our room, rest was all fine

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!

Close to city and the breakfast was great

The proprietor Murray was great. He had good suggestions and was very helpful

location was fantastic and a good breakfast

bathroom could do with up dating

Location

Room was small. Carpets were stained. Bathroom needed refurbished. Shower rail broken , big step down from shower. Furniture all scratched. No where to dry towels. No heating in bathroom so don’t know what would happen in cold weather.

very good location

bed very creaky! Woken up every time you turned

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!

Nothing!

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.

Location for concerts in Princes St . Clean , quiet , good staff (Murray) and superb breakfast .

Nothing worth noting

close to everything especially the tram

a lot of stairs. but Murray was wonderful in carrying out bags in and out

Was greeted warmly and made to feel at home. Will happily stay again if I make it back to Edinburgh!

Elder York Guest House is perfectly situated to explore Edinburgh. It is a little gem. The host, Murray, runs things brilliantly. Friendly & welcoming. Nice rooms. Great breakfast. Fantastic value. I really enjoyed my stay. Thanks.

Nothing of note..
