“Clean, cozy room with a good location on the outskirts of the city. You can catch a bus right outside the place, and it’s a 25 minute walk from the city centre.”
Pam

“Clean and good location. Clean, private bathroom, in and out easy.. Definitely too small for a family of 4. Just not reasonable. Our error. Also spendy but the area is spendy so not much to be done here.”

“Easy to get in and out without assistance, room ok, had a fan which was nice because it was hot. Small room but we'll apportioned. Shower was super tiny. Lot of stairs for a heavy bag. Excellent location, quiet.”

“The property was convenient for our visit to see a show at the Queens Hall.”
Jacob
United States United States
“The top floor rooms had their own bathroom. 20 minute bus ride to the center of the city. A close bus stop 10 feet from the guest house.”
Christian
United States United States
“Very comfortable guest house on the south side of Edinburgh, right next to many bus lines and also walkable (30 mins) to the City Centre. Particularly well-situated for working at either of the University campuses. Easy check-in and check-out....”
