Guest Reviews

• Guido (7/5): Goed voor één nacht. - Ligging tov centrum en restaurants Geen hartelijk welkom.
• Traveller (6/5): Für eine Nacht okay - Lage der Unterkunft, fussläufig viele Sehenswürdigkeiten zu erreichen; gute Tramverbindung zum Flughafen Früher Checkin ( 14 Uhr), freundlicher Empfang Neues Badezimmer mit Pflegeprodukten; Kleiner Kühlschrank im Zimmer Frühstück teilweise frisch zubereitet Wir hatten am Ende unserer Schottlandrundreise ein Doppelzimmer für eine Nacht gebucht, bevor wir am nächsten Tag zurückgeflogen sind. Sehr hellhörige Zimmer, Zimmer mit Gartenblick liegt im Untergeschoss und man blickt von unten auf etwas Gartenfläche hinauf; Matratze unbequem; Im Zimmer war es bei Ankunft kühl und die Heizung ließ sich weder im Zimmer noch im Bad anschalten. Auf Nachfrage hat der Besitzer erklärt, dass die Heizung nur zu bestimmten Zeiten zentral geregelt angeschalten wird ( von 18 -21 Uhr abends und morgens für ein paar Stunden). Auf dem Boden der Dusche lagen noch Haare von den Vorgängern, der Kühlschrank war auch nicht sauber Frühstück gab es von 8-9.30 Uhr und man sollte am besten auch Punkt 8 Uhr im Frühstücksraum sein. Für eine Familie, die ein paar Minuten später kam, gab es keinen Platz mehr und sie wurden gebeten eine halbe Stunde später zu kommen. Bis zu dem Zeitpunkt haben dann aber auch schon weitere Gäste vor dem Frühstücksraum gewartet, sodass man sich genötigt fühlte, schnell zu frühstücken um wieder Platz zu machen.
• Jane (7/5): Comfy bed & good breakfast. - Comfy bed and good breakfast. Our bathroom was very small. The dining room was also very small & was not big enough to hold all the guests in one sitting. Guests were asked to go away and come back later.
• Amy (8/5): -
• Jacqueline (8/5): Loved it would definitely stay again - Good location the staff were really friendly and Tommy was a great host with lots of local information,the guest house was quirky with many unusual features
• Ruth (9/5): -
• Gallegos del Santo (9/5): - El desayuno muy generoso. La ubicación muy bien. No es demasiada amplia la habitación pero para un par de días está bien.
• Angela (9/5): -
• Petersen (9/5): - Tommys hospitality and Scottish breakfast is very good I think the room was quite small
• Kamil (10/5): -
• anneke (6/5): Prima guesthouse. - Locatie was prima. Tommy is een hoffelijke gastheer. Ontbijt was prima.
• Madison (10/5): Magical experience - Tommy, the host was wonderful and helped us out so much, definitely one of the best hosts we are ever gotten to spend time with.
• Sonia et Cyrille (8/5): Bon séjour - Matelas parfait, et petit dej extraordinaire ! Tout était prévu pour l'on passe un bon séjour.. Malheureusement, les oreillers étaient passés contrairement à la literie qui était au top!
• Ivonne (10/5): - Sehr moderne Bandausstattung und wunderschön eingerichtet Zimmer. Wir haben uns gefühlt wie Königin und Prinzessin. Unser Zimmer hatte sogar einen Minikühlschrank. Frühstück war einsame Spitze. Freundlicher Gastgeber.
• Leonie (9/5): - Sehr gutes vom Gastgeber a la carte gemachtes (schottisches) Frühstück inkl süßer Auswahl. Zimmer etwas klein aber sehr gemütlich Betten.
• Nuria (9/5): - Habitació força petita, però no li faltava cap detall. Personal molt amable i menjar bo. Habitació i lavabo massa petit.
• Karolina (8/5): - Good breakfast, comfortable bed and close to the city centre.
• Kelly (5/5): Passable, wouldn’t return. - Good location, interesting decor Room needed maintenance e.g. light fixing over bed wasn’t secure, shower temperature wasn’t hot enough. Room wasn’t properly cleaned e.g. used eye stickers left on bedside table, rubbish on floor under desk etc. Breakfast food wasn’t properly stored/fresh e.g. food such as cheese left out overnight, mouldy crumpets.
• Florence (9/5): Super séjour - Confortable et propre Petit dej copieux Décoration charmante Parking gratuit le week-end et à 20 min à pied du centre
• Frédéric (8/5): Bien situé, cadre très Scottish. 20 mn à pied de la vieille ville - Côté très Scottish, la décoration de la chambre 4, la salle du breakfast très anglaise. L’isolation de la chambre, où nous avons été réveillé par 2 fois par des personnes alcoolisées qui passaient sous les fenêtres. Un double vitrage aurait été bien. Sinon tout était bien
• Thomas (10/5): Wonderful, whimiscal, well worth a stay. I’d love to stay there again - A lavishly decorated place (according to the principle that more is more) with very high standard in comparison to the price. Friendly manager. Quiet and well cleaned. Wonderful breakfast. Situated very close (10 minutes walk), but not directly in, the city center. Quite a lot of street noice if your room is on the front of the building. Ear plugs is recommended if you’re a light sleeper.
• Paula (10/5): Excelente - El hotel es hermoso, bien cuidado y con un montón de detalles. Nos sirvieron Scottish breakfast y estaba riquisimo, caliente y además había opciones de mermeladas, quesos, fiambres, etc. Todo nos encantó, un 10! Nos gustó todo
• Frouwkje (10/5): Super leuk Guesthouse - De wijze waarop de eigenaar er totaal iets eigens van heeft weten te maken. Ontbijt was heerlijk en fijn dat er een koelkastje aanwezig was op de kamer. Eigenlijk niks, als ik iets moet noemen is het de krappe douchecel, maar weet ook dat dit de enige optie is. Dus niks...
• Julie (8/5): Great end to our scottish whisky birthday trip - Tommy was so kind and welcoming! We really appreciated chatting with him and his helpful suggestions. The East Claremont is a bit eclectic, but I think that's what made it a fun place to stay. The rooms were huge too and tie breakfast was very nice, traditional scottish. The bed was a bit too soft and the shower temperature fluctuated a bit,but otherwise it was a great place to stay!
• Vincent (9/5): Super rapport qualité prix, je recommande sans problèmes. - Chambre magnifique, très cosy, personnel très accueillant. Très proche du centre historique d Edimbourg. Petit déjeuner très copieux. Isolation phonique et thermique des fenêtres insuffisantes, parking non privé à proximité mais payant.
• Katja (8/5): Sehr gute Lage - Sehr gute Lage, nur wenige Minuten in die Altstadt und ins Zentrum Gutes Preis Leistungsverhältnis Nett eingerichtet & nette Gastgeber
• Jan (10/5): -
• Lawrance Bailes (7/5): -
• Gianluca (8/5): -
• Sandra (9/5): Lovely guest house for comfortable stay. - Tommy was a very congenial host. I arrived quite early, due to a morning flight, but was able to store my luggage. My room was charming, and had a bit of a garden view. I slept extremely well. Breakfast was prepared to order, with additional self-serve accompaniments: pastries, cereal, yougurt, fruit, sliced meats & cheese.
• Uroš (9/5): -
• Hermien (9/5): -
• Nazarena (6/5): - Personale molto gentile e posizione Che in 4 notti dí soggiorno non ci sono mai stati cambiati gli asciugamani e neanche rifatta la stanza
• Heidelbeer (9/5): -
• Joelle (8/5): - Super localisation non loin du centre ville et du tram pour l'aéroport. J'ai beaucoup aimé la décoration un vrai musée, et le petit déjeuner so Scottish 😀 Chambre un peu petite
• Sofia (9/5): - Ottima posizione, colazione molto fornita, gentilezza dello staff Molta polvere sulle decorazioni, sala colazioni un po’ scomoda perché piccola
• Myriam (8/5): Il giusto benvenuto in Scozia - Ambiente super caratteristico, stanze accoglienti e poetiche, proprietario molto gentile
• Riccardo (9/5): -
• Carsten (9/5): - Das Hotel ist gut gelegen und ist sehr individuell eingerichtet, was es zu einem besonderen Aufenthalt macht.
• Susanne Bjerre (10/5): Et helt særligt sted, men mange møbler og ting allevegne - men det er også det der gør stedet til noget helt særligt. St -
• Peg (10/5): Wonderful Accomadations - Tommy & Lorraine were amazing. Friendly & professional. Helped us get distilled water! Told us we’re to visit. How to get to places. Their favorite places to visit. The bathroom.
• Alessio (6/5): Passabile ma molto sporca - Posizione abbastanza centrale, staff simpatico e disponibile. Costo abbastanza basso per essere ad Edimburgo La camera era molto impolverata e ha bisogno di manutenzione (molte cose sono rotte), non era particolarmente insonorizzata e la sala dove si fa colazione è minuscola. Noi eravamo con una persona celiaca ed è stata molto male a causa di contaminazione crociata. Per quanto apprezzi la disponibilità del host di provvedere alimenti senza glutine, vi chiedo di stare più attenti la prossima volta ad utilizzare utensili che non sono stati a contatto con il glutine o comunque di lavarli molto bene prima di usarli. La cucina poi non sembrava tanto pulita, anzi...
• Carlotta (8/5): Posizione ottima. Colazione ottima. Personale cordiale. - La colazione Un po’ freddo nel bagno
• Christine (8/5): - Excellent location and great breakfast.
• Rita Papadakis (7/5): - Lokalizacja fantastyczna. Wszędzie było bardzo blisko. Hotel ma swój klimat,urok. Herbata pyszna,kawa również. Śniadania też całkiem ok. Czystość niestety pozostawiała wiele do życzenia. Było widać niedociągnięcia min w łazience.
• Christine (8/5): -
• Sabine (8/5): - Parfaitement situé , personnel très sympathique et super petit déjeuner .
• Shayna (10/5): Lovely rooms, Delicious breakfast, Friendly staff, Great Location! - My best friend and I stayed here, and we had such a lovely stay. I’m vegetarian and she’s vegan. The breakfast they served was traditional and delicious. They served vegan sausage and blood sausage. The staff was incredibly nice. The manager talked to us during breakfast, giving us tips on where to visit and how to get there. The rooms were beautiful. The decorations were all so charming! The room was very comfortable, and there’s a Nespresso machine with little candies they include. Nearby there’s a few pubs that are great and serve vegan options. The tourist spots, like the castle, are about a 25 minute walk, but there are bus stops right across the street. If I’m ever in Edinburgh again, I will stay here. We had a very lovely time. This is an intimate stay. The rooms are a bit small, but it adds to the charm. Don’t stay here if you are expecting a Travel Lodge type experience. This is a lovely bed and breakfast place.
• Isabelle (9/5): Séjour authentique et petit déjeuner royal - Nous avons apprécié le côté so scottish de l’établissement, la qualité du petit déjeuner avec l’attention particulière des propriétaires. Je recommande le East Claremont Guest House pour l’hospitalité, le côté authentique, la situation et le calme. Tout était bien
• Marta (5/5): - Localização muito boa Quarto muito quente pouco arejado e cama e wc pequena .
• Tristan (3/5): Veel te duur - Centrale ligging Badkamer is soort port a cabin in kamer. Veel roest, weinig waterdruk, douche gerepareerd met plakband, schimmel op deur, ligt wel aan drukke weg waarbij je de vrachtwagens voorbij voelt rijden. Ontbijtkamer claustrofobisch
• Silvia (9/5): -
• Francesca (10/5): Soggiorno ottimo - Colazione super. Nulla.
• Franziska (8/5): - Sehr nett eingerichtet Zimmer. Zwar etwas klein, aber das ist man in Großbritannien ja gewöhnt. Das ganze Guest House ist sehr nett eingerichtet und sauber. Das Frühstück war auch sehr gut Ich weiß nicht ob es daran gelegen hat, das wir uns dumm angestellt haben, aber wir haben das Fenster in unserem Zimmer nicht aufbekommen. Dadurch h war es etwas stickig
• Simone (8/5): - Colazione molto buona e preparata al momento
• Marcello (8/5): -
• Scott (10/5): Lots to love - Tommy, the host, was an absolute delight. He gave us a superb breakfast and we enjoyed looking at the eclectic decorating he had done. Clearly, it's his passion. Good position, was close to where we had to return our hire car which was very handy. Not too far to Edinburgh Waverley train station either. Also loved that Tommy left us a delicious Scottish chocolate treat!
• Emma (4/5): A budget option in a Good location. - The location was excellent. A relatively easy walk to central Edinburgh if you're fit. The towels and bedlinen were clean. The room itself was quite large. The decoration was not to our liking or taste. We both found the whole room oppressive and over fussy. The bathroom in this particular room is a plastic pod in the corner of the room and was very cramped. There were a lot of soft furnishings which we wondered about how often they were cleaned and laundered. We were not keen on the quality of the breakfast ingredients. Inexpensive sausages and basic plastic bread for toast. The cooked offering was any variation on a Scottish breakfast only.
• david (8/5): - Well situated for what we wanted , close to the city centre and railway station
• František (9/5): -
• Kondrotiene (10/5): -
• Tommi (10/5): - Extremely helpful staff made our stay in Edinburgh memorable. Liked everything.
• Pablo Valenzuela Palominos (10/5): - El anfitrión muy amable
• Nigel (10/5): Great accommodation and location. - Tommy is a delight. He was very friendly and welcoming. We loved the accommodation and the location was just right for us (we did a lot of walking). The breakfast choice was very good indeed and the full Scottish breakfast comes recommended. Our room was comfortable and clean. There was a good size fridge in our room which was a nice addition.
• Giulia (4/5): - Posizione molto comoda per raggiungere il centro città a piedi. Struttura unica nel suo genere, stile tipicamente Scozzese ma troppo piena di oggetti. La pulizia è superficiale se non addirittura assente. Colazione abbondante ma tavoli sporchi. La camera non è stata pulita da un giorno all’altro, forse cosa ricorrente delle guest house.
• Marijke (9/5): Typisch Schots, centraal gelegen guesthouse voor kitschlovers - De ligging in New Town op wandelafstand van het centrum; de eigenaar was in het begin wat gereserveerd maar uiteindelijk wel vriendelijk. We konden s middags al onze bagage achterlaten in de kamer ook al was de kamer nog niet klaar. De matras was doorgelegen en we lagen in een kamer aan de straat waardoor het best lawaaierig was. Toen we om 21u terug waren van het diner was er niemand meer beschikbaar om ons te helpen met een adapter voor de stopcontacten, we konden niemand bereiken. We hebben ons dan zelf beredderd met wat we konden vinden. Kitscherige ontbijtzaal in de kelder, niet voor wie last heeft van claustrofobie ;-)
• Paul (8/5): Fijne plek - Lokatie, 20 minuten lopen naar het centrum Ontbijt was prima!! Ontbijtruimte was sfeervol,maar erg krap,een als de doucheruimte
• Piirainen (9/5): -
• Riikka (8/5): -
• Viktoriia (10/5): - Everything was amazing 👏 🤩 Staff very friendly, room incredible, close to city centre
• Sara (8/5): -
• Elīna (8/5): - Brokastis bija brīnišķīgas!
• Julian (10/5): Quirky design, great breakfast - Quirky interior design, comfortable beds, great breakfast and super friedly host! Location is also nice, bus stop nearby and no problem to walk to major attraction. Due to a lot of fancy fabrics everywhere, it felt a bit dusty in some areas.
• Fie (8/5): Behageligt og nemt. Ville booke igen. - Tæt på centrum og hvor vi skulle være. Hyggelig atmosfære, behagelig seng, pænt toilet og bad. Man kunne høre folk gå rundt ovenpå da gulvet knirkede.
• Martijn (8/5): -
• Guest (9/5): -
• Emeline (10/5): Parfait - Facile d’accès, les chambres sont très spacieuses. Le petit déjeuné est top L’hôte est vraiment super et arrangeant Parfait
• Hélène (9/5): Parfait - L'ambiance so british des lieux La discrétion du personnel et en mm temps tout est fait pour qu'on soit choyé L'emplacement parfait pour le calme mais proches de toutes les merveilles de la ville
• Neil (9/5): -
• Kenny (9/5): Lovely room in a great location. - The room was a good size, comfortable with good facilities. The toilet & shower wet room is a bit "caravan-ish".
• Naomi (10/5): Comfortable and friendly stay in plush surroundings close to centre. - Friendly owner, comfortable bed and lots of options for breakfast. Sadly I was attending a funeral and the owner very helpfully allowed me to leave my case at the guesthouse and collect it later. All the furnishings were very stylish and appropriate to the city. A tiny bit more power on the shower would have been great.
• Pires (10/5): -
• Thomas (10/5): - Gute Lage zur Innenstadt.
• ginevra (7/5): Siamo andati per un viaggio e abbiamo trovato un servizio davvero gentile e disponibile anche per check in e check out s -
• Magali (8/5): Muy familiar - Barrio muy tranquilo cerca del jardín botánico y cerca del centro también. Personal muy amable. Desayuno muy completo. Todo estuvo muy bien.
• Johan (8/5): -
• jose antonio (8/5): -
• Shabana (8/5): - La localisation. Nous avons eu une chambre au sous-sol.
• Carrie (10/5): - Tommy was a lovely host ,even went out his way and got me some fizz and chocolates left in the room with happy birthday banner ,very nice place Nothing really ,was all good
• KZ (9/5): -
• Julia (10/5): -
• Eva (10/5): Muy recomendable - ¡Todo excelente! Simpática acogida, habitación amplia, cama cómoda, limpieza impecable y varias opciones para el desayuno (todo casero y súper rico). Y la decoración, un plus. Ubicación perfecta, a 15 minutos del bullicio turístico, en un barrio muy tranquilo y con buenos pubs locales.
• Julie (9/5): Great stay - thankyou - Host very friendly and could not have helped more. Great location easy to walk to centre No parking need to park on side roads which is not easy to find
• Giacomo (8/5): - Accoglienza Struttura Staff Letti non comodi Camera un po' troppo piccola
• Paul (10/5): Beautiful place… GO! you won’t be disappointed - Lovely room, exceptional breakfast…one of the best I’ve tasted in a long time. Tommy was a good host, very knowledgeable of the area and helped us plan our day. Good shower , perfect location and fridge in the room. Loved the decor , beautiful pictures all over … will definitely return The bed was too soft for me , prefer a firm one …. But that’s a personal choice. The coffee machine was pods which I’ve never used as I prefer a kettle… once again a personal choice. There was a manual, but we chose not to use it as we were out most of the time anyway.
• Eugenio (10/5): -
• Carlos (9/5): -
• Ewan (10/5): Great character, comfortable and friendly. Perfect location. - Great selection served at the table.
• Komal (10/5): - The host is an absolute delight! Warm, welcoming and courteous. He was available on site and great with recommendations. The breakfast included in the deal was more than what you'd get anywhere and he took great care in preparing everything. The place is full of character and quirky charm. Clean and comfortable. The shower is a bit tight and I am only 5"6, if you're larger opt for another room not the small double.
• Karen (8/5): - Great location on a quiet street. About 15 mins walk from Prince's street and all the sites. New bathroom with good shower. Was a bit disappointed not to get a four-poster bed, as that's what was shown in the pictures. Staff seemed surprised/annoyed that we showed up early (about 10.30 am)to drop our bags, as we had informed them we would.
