Staff were helpful and the guest house was very clean. The breakfast was ok with a choice of either hot or cold food. Have to say the cooked breakfast choice was limited and although the quantity was good it would have been good to have had say bacon rather than sausages every day. Location was excellent with bus stops into city centre outside. A very friendly place to stay.

Staffs were excellent and they go out of their way to help. The room has the basic things you’d need for a short stay. The location was excellent, easy to get to anywhere in the city, there’s quick access to public transportation too. We just found a perfect place to stay whenever we visit Edinburgh!

Very nice hotel in a quiet location close to the city center and bus stops. The staff were very nice and accomodating, our late arrival was not a problem, and all our later requests were well taken care of. The room was small but cozy and clean and had everything we needed. A great place to stay and visit Edinburgh for a reasonable price, would recommend!

Good basic accommodation for the Fringe, when it's hard to find places to stay for a reasonable price. Exactly what you would expect from a student room: decent bathroom, bed, desk, small wardrobe, quite spartan. Well equipped shared kitchen. Decent location with a supermarket and cafe downstairs and plenty of places to eat nearby. About a mile from the city centre. Friendly staff who seem to work very hard.

A quirky great place to stay. Located 10min walk from the city centre. Room was genours in size with ensuite, bonus little fridge, hairdryer and iron etc if needed. Staff were friendly and helpful throughout and cooked a great Scottish Breakfast. Breakfast facilities catered for everything you could want or wish for nearly. Price was reasonable for location and time of year (tattoo time)
