Guest Reviews

Jitske 10.0

A lovely guest house with an exceptional host, comfortable beds, and a sweet garden. The hostess had our rooms ready for an early arrival, gave us a full overview of city highlights, bus and restaurant recommendations and offered her phone number in case we needed assistance while out and about. I’ve stayed in several guest houses in the neighborhood and the level of hospitality here is incredible! In terms of location, there are several bus stops close by, a well stocked minimart across the road and a friendly coffee place just down the street.

Salvatore 10.0

It has been lovely to come back here one year later my first trip in Edinburgh, where I slept in this marvellous Guest House already once. For this reason when I got the availbility I booked immediately again to be cuddled in this welcoming and cozy structure. I want to thank Kate for the virtual assistance and Maggy and Gordon for the little chats we had the first and the last day I have stayed. The Guest House is in a quiet area close by the Edinburgh city center, you could take lots of buses to get the beautiful Royal Mile and the other great places the city offers. I've again loved the kindness, the cleanliness and the complete bath set with a bathrobe too and free still Scottish water in bottle and biscuits everyday. I hope to enjoy Edinburgh and the Guest House in the future again.

Kelly 9.0

Clean, accessible. Excellent service and support

Amy 10.0

The room was a double and two twins, plenty of room to spread out and a bow window making the space light-filled. The bathroom was pristine with everything one could need. Maggie worked through the map and bus routes with us, so we were all set for 3 days of Edinburgh adventure. Truly, truly, we would stay nowhere else. Hope "next time" comes soon.
