I stayed in this guest house last night and it was a mixed bag. The lady who ran it was friendly and helpful when I asked to check in out-with normal hours. My single room was nicely decorated, the bed was comfortable and towel was good quality, but the room was TINY - more of a box room and when... More

Myself and three friends visited Edinburgh to watch the England v Scotland Rugby Match. I am not quite sure what I did wrong to deserve the second floor attic room at the rear which was undoubetdly the least pleasant economy room I have ever slept in and fortunately only for one night. There is no radiator nor other heating supplied.... More

The location is as described. The room was tiny with an insecure door. The bed was broken. The toilet/shower was upstairs and communal. I did not stay for more than one night of my four booked nights and would not recommend this accommodation. It was, to be fair, cheap but I was expecting much more after having telephoned before arriving. More

We LOVED the little hotel because the quality to price ratio was very favorable. Our ground floor room was very cramped, but the comforter, pillows, and decorations were nice. Who bothers to make such a small room so comfortable and attractive with coordinated throw pillows? We really appreciated the extra touches and how how soft the bed, pillows, and blankets... More

I found the staff very friendly and the room clean, comfortable and cosy. The tea and coffee was replenished daily as were the towels. The room was newly decorated and had TV and Wi Fi what more do you want for the money! There is a very good bus service to the city centre that was easy to use ,you... More

DO NOT STAY HERE !!!!! I know it's cheap, but there's a reason, it's S*** !!! When I arrived I had to ring a telephone number that was taped to the front door, not too much of a problem but also not very friendly !! But that was just the start of the problems. 1 - I was informed when... More

(1) I got a room with shared bathroom and toilet, even though it was never indicated to me before I got there. (2) The floors in that hotel are terribly squeaking and the doors can be closed only if they are shut loudly. It was therefore impossible to sleep, since every guest who entered or had to go to the... More

I knew that in August Edinburgh is far to be cheap so I was not surprised to pay 106£ for a night in a double room in an accomodation quite far from the centre of the city. I spent a week around Scotland and I stayed in 7 different B&Bs and hotels. I've to say that, until the last night... More
