Having been in 5 star luxury hotels AND plenty of B&B's, I can't say that my expectations of a B&B are too high. But cleanliness, friendliness and general TLC in the rooms are a must. All of that was lacking on the part of the owner, some staff were friendly. I'd NEVER return to this place. Ghastly. And I'd certainly... More

When we arrived no one was there to let us in. We called a number left on the door and were told how to gain access. We never saw a sole from entering the property to going for breakfast the following morning. Having paid for a full English Breakfast ha ha we got toast and cereal of which you do... More

This guest house shares a street with many others which looked quite inviting however my optimism turned to dismay when I arrived. Building works were taking place, fair enough I thought but waste (discarded tiles) was strewn all over the garden. Very inviting indeed. Like other reviewers no one was anywhere to be seen. I had I phone this mysterious... More

My room was quite comfortable and clean. The location is great - close enough to walk to City Centre yet located on a quiet street away from the crowds. The management was very friendly and helpful. I had a lovely time in Edinburgh and wish that I could have stayed longer.

The room was clean and comfortable, It is literally 1 minute away from the cinema complex with all the really nice restaurants and bars. Quick trio into town for the shops so great location. It's also off a main road so no traffic noise or "merry people" noise! The staff were lovely and EXTREMELY helpful. Can't say enough for how... More

Upon arrival it was demanded that we pay for our room right away, which at the time wasn't a problem, untill we realised the utter state of the "guest house". Room was small and dingy, and I'm still pretty convinced the shared bathroom was shared with other animals/insects. Stayed for one night with my friend and the woman host was... More

On September 2006 I went on a solo travel to Edinburgh. When I finally arrived at the guest house, there was nobody there; I had to wait and to get some help from the other guesthouse just opposite, because I didn’t know what to do! Nobody was there either to show me the room and finally, after the first night,... More

This B&B is up on the list of worst places I've ever stayed - and that includes the hostel in Spain that had bed bugs.
