Sakura Edinburgh Guest House

It’s ideal for one night stay over before leaving in the early morning.

All in all good, if compared to the cheap price. Kind staff. The problem is that they are not clear enough in the booking flow, since they sold me a room with garden view and I ended in a room at level -1 with one tiny window heading nowhere (probably facing a wall considering the darkness). The bathroom was private but external, but this was not specified in the booking. I would have booked the room anyways, therefore I’d recommend the property to be more specific on the room’s characteristics.

Bedbugs!!! Stay away!!! We told the manager and didn‘t even got an answer!!! We searched on google and found a comment about bedbugs from 4 months prior! So they obviously didn’t do anything about it!

Wallpaper was peeling on walls. Toilet far too narrow and bathroom a real state... Clean but clearly just painted over damp and painted over terrible wallpaper. Get rid of that wardrobe and hairdryer. Room too dark...needs ligteninhand a curtain to cover the scary window that is a window into a room. Dark and scary. Named the purple dungeon on reviews. Get rid of the purple and modernise it. positives are the host was lovely and beds comfy and clean. Needs re papering and re plastering . New bathroom sink etc.

Sakura Hotel Edinburgh $754.75 ca for 6 days. The Location is Amazing but This place is a Dump, I only wish I had read some reviews before I booked it. I spent the first hour looking for another place to stay to no avail. It's not a B&B, the shared bathroom is actually 2 rooms, a toilet with a the smallest sink know to man with the room so small the walls were just about touching my elbows, and a shower room with a makeshift and feeble shower stall, a sink with no stopper and both sinks had separate hot and cold taps and were dank. My room was a small zig zag and had a very small bed that was against 3 walls of it, meaning you had to crawl over the bed to get to the sink by the window and back again to get to the entrance door. The TV in the room was absolutely useless, a 12" and was mounted 6 feet up on the wall which you could not see if you were laying down in bed and it sounded terrible. The 2 entrance doors to the building had loose key locks and when I offered to fix them, I was refused and told "oh they get loose all the time we fix them all the time" (according to some reviews I've read they've been broken since 2019. No temperature control for the room either. my second day in I had to answer the door to 2 travel wary clients because there was no one available to check them in and no one answering the phone number provided. I basically had to tell them to go for a coffee somewhere and keep trying the number, oh yah because there was no common room either. I'm not even sure if this place is up to Edinburgh accommodation standards and was very temped to report them.

Was not Standard specially toilets, bed was not good, no baggage drop facility had to spend 60 pounds at private luggage storage

Super tight space, barely any ventilation, bathroom disgusting.

Walls were a bit thin but didn’t bother me too much.. Convenient for many shops and restaurants. Friendly host

A strange experience. On arrival being given 4 separate keys and being told very clearly that check out was 11am at the very latest! My first experience of having the toilet and shower in a separate room, not ideal when needing the loo in the night trying to work out which key was needed for each room.

First property I have seen where bathroom / restroom is separate from the room. It's a hostel not a hotel.
