One may complain about the shared bathroom, but that's not a secret! Their service was pleasing and courteous. what can you expect for 60£ in a capitol city?! Okay, for elderly people the scarp staircase might be a little strenuous to climb. Our room spacious and clean, including complimentary wifi, even in the 2nd floor! More

I recently stayed here for two nights while on a training course. I had a lovely warm welcome when I arrived which when traveling alone does make a difference. The room was warm, but small with a private bathroom across the landing. The double bed was pushed to one wall but it was fine given I was only one, would... More

Lovely guest house. Very helpful staff. Nice breakfast. Comfortable room. Good internet. A bit annoying to not be closer to town but the buses were easy and the walk not too far. The information provided in your room is super helpful. All the maps and bus info that you need. Anything else you need you can ask them. I enjoyed... More

We stayed here during the Hogmanay period and loved every moment. The landlords were very friendly and couldn't do more to help. The room was big and had everything we needed. The breakfast was also fantastic. Thoroughly recommend. A 35min walk to town or a 15min bus ride. More

Great location, close to the great bars and restaurants of Leith Walk and the Shore. Friendly and accommodating staff, comfy room and a massive full Scottish breakfast - what more could you want? More

Very lovely landlords (young couple I suppose), very friendly, always smiling and trying to be of help more than you would expect. Quiet street, next to the park, 20 minutes walk to the city centre. But you can buy a day ticket for £3 for quite a few buses and the bus stop is right in front of the house.... More

My partner & have just returned from a New Years trip to Edinburgh and found Mackenzie's to be a perfect compromise between price and distance to the city. The rooms are good sized, very clean and with modern bathrooms. The hosts are lovely and the breakfasts are both tasty and huge. Don't be put off by the fact it's a... More

Ignore the negative reviews. If you want luxury and a short walk into the city centre, then pay for it. The hotel is served by two bus routes and they run every 10-15 minutes. The bus stop is right outside the hotel (make sure you have change.) They is a large park opposite and the area is far from "run... More

Arrived mid-afternoon on a cold, rainy day in November. Greeted by Danny Tang, shown the room - a double ensuite with a spare single bed. Quite a basic room with average furnishing. On the way up we noticed jigsaws that had been completed had been framed and were displayed around the place. The following morning, they all had price stickers... More
