Guest Reviews

Susan 9.0

Comfortable bed, room was small but comfortable, with cupboard, dressing table with drawers. Location on main road into Edinburgh was fantastic, right near a bus stop with all buses going in and out of city centre. Small food bag provided for breakfast, porridge pot, choc chip bun, juice and muesli bar. Provided a small fridge on request. Parking area available.

Seppo 9.0

Very clean, cosy room with a nice view (room #2). Good bathroom, bed is very nice (a bit to the soft side), bedclothes were nice too. Fresh fruits available in the lobby. Everything was well thought of by Sonas people. E.g. the "tight" info-book contained a very informative and handy package for the visitor. It was super easy to use public transport (buses); less than 10 minutes to the Royal Mile. As a guest house Sonas is very recommendable.

Fariza 10.0

I really enjoyed my stay here! The place felt very homey and everyone was friendly. Even without breakfast, I appreciated finding some snacks each day, such a nice gesture ☺️ The room was spotless and very cute, and the door code made check-in so easy and convenient. Highly recommend!

Franki 10.0

No staff on site but very quick response to queries during our stay.

Tomás 9.0

The room and bathroom were very clean. The house was located in a really quiet street, although wasn't very close to the city center but the nearest bus stop was just in a one minute walk so it wasn't a problem.

Adela 10.0

It was a very pleasant stay! We felt very good! The room was very clean, equipped with everything we needed (kettle, hairdryer and even a bag of food for breakfast). The water worked very well and the room was heated. The area is very quiet, the bus station is close and very easy to get to the center. We were also helped with transportation upon departure by the owners. A wonderful location!!

Lindy 8.0

Efficient self check in procedure. Free parking behind the property. Located in an attractive part of Edinburgh on the south side of the city. On a main bus route into the city centre if you don't want the 20 minute walk. Comfortable room with breakfast supplies provided in the room.

Bonnissent 9.0

The room was clean and confortable. I had asked for a double bed and we got two single beds. The location is a little far from the main attractions but you have various buses near by which made it wasier for us to move around.

Christine 10.0

The rooms were a good size and the shower was larger than in other hotels we have stayed in. Our room was beautifully taken care of each day and snacks, tea and coffee were always welcome.

Yew 9.0

Big and comfortable bed. Good location with nearby stores, walking distance to city centre and nearby bus station. Daily snacks both in the room and at common area. Ruthie was really helpful and has provided us with wonderful customer service, we enjoyed our stay :) Thank you!
