Bed and shower were clean. However, the rest of the room needed a clean and was very dated and tired looking.

We enjoyed the view and spaciousness of the room.

Good location very large room very cp.fortable bed

Clean room, friendly staff

Simple room, clean. Way off the touristy path

The staff was very polite. The cleaning wasnt the best. Specially in the bathroom

Room spotless, lovely decoration. Easy

Initially disappointed by the tired decor, broken blind and sofa, photos not truthful and concerned on finding negative reviews saying the same ( I’d only seen positive on booking). It was expensive and given too many stars. However I realised Edinburgh is expensive and over priced like London and actually we ended up having a lovely stay. I prefer character to modern. It was quiet even at the front we used shutters to reduce noise, bed comfortable ( new mattress possibly), warm , clean , everything worked well (except a blind and sofa) , breakfast was lovely and reasonable and owner was very helpful and responded quickly by text. We would stay again but not at the price advertised. It was very convenient for getting many different buses and not far by taxi from station. Shops and restaurants close by.

Very shabby room was not ready until an hour after check-in time. From then we never saw a manager or any service personnel or even towel service. We question the legitimacy of the reviews shown on hotels com for this location.

While the room was pleasant & comfortable, the guest house itself felt abandoned. For my entire 3 night stay I never saw anyone staffing the front desk, the restaurant looked shuttered & it appeared as if no one was in charge.
