Great wee place to stay
Lovely quiet street. Even sleeping at the front there was beautiful peace and quiet. Room was wonderfully cosy on a cool November night and made you feel welcome.

Do not recommend.
We did not have a great experience at this guest house. It all started with our check in. What a mess. It said to ring the bell at the next door over and to wait for someone to service us. Nothing stated how long this would take. We rang the bells (mind you there was two bells, didn't know which to ring, so rang both) and waited, and waited. Nobody showed up. We tried calling the emergency numbers, but those didn't work either. After a quite some time we tried talking to neighbors and one finally helped us out. We were eventually let in, but instead of just apologizing the lady just said she didn't hear any bell, we must not have rung the right one. She continued to push the buttons to show us how it works, and then realized that they didn't actually work very well. Then she proceeded to take our info and gave us the key. The room itself we small, but mostly clean. Uncomfortable bed. Tiny added bathroom in the room, could barely get on the shower. Parking sucked, as you had to park on the street, but there was not a lot of free space, and if you did manage to get a space, it is paid parking during the day. Most parking on the street is permit parking. Overall, we did not have a good time at this place. Would not stay again.

The staff did not answer the bell for 30 minutes. Another couple went to a neighbors door who finally let us in and then the property manager said we didn’t ring the bell.

As good as the property was, the room I was given was big and spacious, but it started leaking water right on one of the beds when it rained just about the time I was checking out this morning. Apart from this, it's a fantastic please.

The property is walking distance from the station - 20 minutes. The main, near the accommodation has bars and restaurants. The room was functional and clean. I would stay again.

Great location, restaurants nearby, close to tram. Price good. TV reception needs looking at BBC 1 & 2 non existent.

The location was good for the tram and offered a cheaper alternative to central Edinburgh but the room was quite tired and could do with an upgrade.

The Staff were very helpful and friendly, gave us a fan as the room was very hot. Decor is tired and bathroom could do with a revamp. But for the price it was fine for a couple of nights.

2/10 Poor

I have never been so disgusted at any hotel or guest house as this one. They were advised my wife was disabled and we were put in the basement using a spiral type staircase. No opening window only skylight dark dingy and very hot and stuffy. The overall condition of this property was in dire need of modernisation. The price is disgusting Your pictures on Expedia's website do NOT GIVE AN HONEST reflection.

Well situated for what we needed.
Just a quick overnight before heading home to Canada. Well situated close to Tram so we didn't have to fight through the Royal Highland Show masses to get to the airport.

Average stay
The staff would benefit from being a bit more hospitable. We arrived fifteen minutes earlier with heavy bags and they made it seem like they were doing us a massive favour by letting us check in minutes earlier. Hiked up prices for Taylor Swift. Comfortable but not worth the money.

Only stayed 1 night as stopover. No breakfast or parking but room was clean and comfy, perfect for what was needed for us. Two things I'd ask to fix: shelf in bathroom was falling down and curtains didn't quite cover the window so light crept in bit too early. Other than that it was perfectly nice accommodation, easy check-in and check-out
