Booked this as it was reasonably priced. The cleanliness was questionable. The bed had seen better days. In addition there was only 1 towel even though 2people were staying. When going downstairs to ask for another towel I found that the breakfast room was also being used for linen sstorage as well as the reception. This bed and and breakfast... More

The guest house reception procedure was okay, however from there on in it was downhill. The rooms we booked were all very small, did not appear very clean and were lacking in maintenance. No toilet paper in the one shared facility for 24 hours! Front of the property faced onto a busy road so one is woken by the first... More

Picked this place to stay saturday night of 8 June 2013, due to fact it was 300 yards away from the start/finish line of the Moonwalk. Location for the above event - perfect. Handy for Edinburgh centre - maybe not, but number 12 and 25 bus just outside the door take you there in 10 mins. £1.50 single, or £3.50... More

Good guest house with a good procedure for late arrivals. Perfect for a one night single bed stop over in Edinburgh with bus links with city centre outside front door. Check out is at 10am but not before!!

the guest house is run probably by an indian. the hotel looks more like a house than a bnb. The room is spacious compared to the other budget hotels in and around edinburgh. but the location of the hotel is certainly not great. if you a come for a short trip at scotland, then avoid this hotel . it is...

Rooms: small and basic, with not much room beyond the bed, sink, desk, and armoire. Nice pictures on the wall to make it more welcoming. Breakfast in the morning for 3.50, which I didn't do, but tea/coffee in the room daily. Only one bathroom at the top of the stairs. Pros: 1. Everything was very clean, especially the bathroom, which... More

Reception is ready and willing to help you with a smile. Rooms are clean and tidy. Within easy walking distance from shops and a short bus trip away from several tourist locations. Local laundry a short walk away which is a personal must of mine

We stayed for 3 nights and it was clean and tidy and just a little wee bit quirky - and really enjoyable. The staff were smiling and pleasant and overall it was great value, I would go back again! There is a bus stop a minute from the front door - so handy enough for going into the town. Cheers
