Guest Reviews

Andrew 9.0

The larger room was lovely, but the smaller one was a little tight for a giant like myself. Lovely people. Recommended

Desmond 9.0

My room was a nice size. I especially liked having the bathroom/shower within the room area. The room was very clean, and was kept warm and cosy. I liked having a guest house key, so that it was possible to come and go at will. It was handy having the electric kettle, and tea/coffee and milk satchels were kept topped up. The bed was comfortable, but probably somewhat harder then I'm used too. The TV had plenty of viewing stations. I have to say the house was nice and quiet and the guest house owners were very friendly and helpful. I would have no problem returning to them for another stay.

Ruth 8.0

Pretty close to public transportation and restaurants. The mattress was comfortable. Lots of cabinets to put your clothes in.

Yibo 9.0

Neil is easy going. The grocery shop right across the street is nice. Quite a few bus stops close by. Really nice to have some place cozy and quiet away from all the hustle and bustle of the festival.

I 8.0

Good location, close to bus stops, though most days I did walk to the Old Town, as it takes 40 minutes to walk to Edinburgh Castle, and other locations are even closer (so roughly half an hour to most places), very quiet, and Neil, the landlord, is very friendly and available for a chat or advice on places to visit. Would definitely stay there again.

Cheridyn 8.0

The property was perfectly located. Easy to access buses from and walking distance to the city centre. The place could with a bit of a clean as cobwebs in the corners of the room, but otherwise fresh towels everyday and tea/coffee restocked and Neil was super friendly and accommodating.
