The two best things about this guest house were the staff and the location. The owners were very welcoming and helpful. The bus services into town are excellent and although there is limited parking on site, there is plenty in the road next door (quite rare for Edinburgh). My single room on the first floor was however very small, as... More

It's a very friendly and helpful place. The breakfast is good and More

Booked a night on LateRooms.com and thought I had made a good deal since it was 4-star and I paid £40.00 instead of £68.00, but it turned out the star rating in Scotland is VERY different from the one in the US and Canada. I also think that their single rooms' prices range between £40.00 and £68.00 and that they... More

I booked this on the basis of it being the cheapest last minute 2 night deal I could find within a 2 mile radius of the Waverley station. The very reasonable rate and the vehement negative reviews I then read on here gave me pause for thought... ...but this was completely unfounded. The owner was lovely, a really nice guy... More

Our room was fantastic on the first floor over the entrance. Nice and sunny. Owner friendly and helpful. Breakfast very good. Would go back More

Our room (No2) at the top of the house was dark and not helped by the profusion of dated flowered wallpaper and bedding. The very small en-suite shower had mould... More

Good GRIEF what to write about this place. Well here is what I wrote in the guest book: "Interesting place, shame about the breakfast." I was being *very* kind. I stayed here for two nights during the Edinburgh Festival and it was appalling. The rates were very high and the owners were clearly cashing in on the Festivals - I... More

My husband & I stayed for 3 nights here - our room was large and the bathroom was a good size. We found it to be clean, the room was made up daily & our tea/coffee cups cleaned each day. Breakfast was good, we had ample to eat - we did not like the cleaning up of the other tables... More

This is the second year in a row that I've stayed at the International Guest House. The owners are very nice and helpful. The rooms are clean and the breakfast is quite hearty. It was in a great location for me because I was attending a conference at Edinburgh University campus next to Arthur's Seat. The city is a mile... More
