I have just spent a weekend in Edinburgh for a surprise birthday trip for my husband. We stayed in the Balmore which is an old Victorian style house. The main hallways and landings were fine, as was the breakfast room. However, our room needed a lot of TLC. It was very old and tired, which in itself is not much... More

Me and my sister took seperate rooms in this lovely guesthouse. Although I lived just other side the street, that was no problem. I lived like in my own apartment. My room was clean, comfort, woodfloor!!, nice furnitures and pictures also the size was ok, good bed and hot shower and you could use the thermostate by yourself to keep... More

Recently had an overnight stay in Family room. Myself with 3 children. Extremely generous sized room, ample space. Room can and would easily accommodate a family of 5. 2 double beds & 1 large single bed. Room was ensuite.

It was very clean and tidy, no complaints there. However our room was tiny and it was a walk down the street from the main building which I was not aware of when I booked. We had our own bathroom but it was not in the room, it was a walk down the hall. The owner was friendly and called... More

What a great place to stay! We chose Balmore as it's close to our friends in Toll Cross, but it's also an easy walk to the city centre - plus it's on a great bus route into town, which takes no time at all. The area has a large Co-op and there are plenty of cafes and restaurants to choose... More

I stayed here for five nights, in the single room at the top floor of the annexe. The whole building looked like it had recently been renovated, new paint, new furniture etc. The room was quiet and cosy and the wi-fi and tv worked (the tv also had loads of channels). The breakfast buffet was very basic, some cereals and... More

Great deal with EasyFly and the Hotel (£50 for one night), free wifi, good breakfast (included) , clean and very good room....walk for 10 minutes and you will be at Edinburgh Castle. Remember always to bring an umbrella!!!
