Bellevue Guest House

Bus stop next to the Guest House with plenty of buses into the Old Town and New Town.

We had seven nights at this property. We were given a small double room with no room to swing a cat. The on-suite took up 25% of this small room. No hot water from the sink and no sink plug to save some water. The over sized shower cubicle had an electric shower but you hod to run around to get wet. This brings me onto the small towels which were so thin that you couldn’t dry yourself properly, you always felt damp. Last two gripes, no storage other that a very small wardrobe with six hangers so you were living out of suit cases and a TV screen three metres high up the wall!!

Continental style but a good selection to set us up for the day served in a friendly environment.

Nothing we could find fault with.

In a great location right next to the bus stop. The lady running the place is so kind. Breakfast each morning was perfect. The room we stayed in was very large with plenty of space for three people’s things.

The beds were very uncomfortable.

Great location. We love walking and it was only about 25 min to Old Town. Lovely staff. Very friendly and accommodating.

Beds weren’t that comfortable unfortunately but we still managed ok.

Away from the hubub of the main centre, ideal for a peaceful night's sleep. Brilliant direct bus links to Leith and Portobello (and Edinburgh zoo!) with the bus stop almost outside of the front door. A basic continental breakfast including cereal, yoghurt, fruit and toast is included each morning and is a good start to the day. The hostess is lovely and welcoming. For the price, we found Bellevue a perfect base for exploring Edinburgh.

We stayed in the small double (not pictured) which is a very cosy room at the front of the house. We found it a bit awkward with two suitcases. If you pack light or are a solo traveller you will be fine, otherwise book one of the larger rooms. The mattress was very firm and I struggled with this on the first night, but found it fairly comfortable once I was used to it. The room could do with a freshen up, as it felt a bit worn and dated compared to the rest of the guest house.

Location was great, room small but bed very comfortable. Bathroom small, shower lovely and hot

TV didn't work for length of stay despite asking for it to be fixed. Breakfast provided, but very basic and limited, not your typical continental as I've had before. Seemed to be done as cheap as possible

Lovely big bedroom with a small ensuite Breakfast service was very good Excellent location with a bus stop right outside and regular buses into city center
