Guest Reviews
- Steve O'Halloran (9/5): - Our host Mei was fantastic, good breakfast and the location was within 80 mtrs of the bus stop in both directions. Limited parking but on-site. The room was quite small
- Toyin (4/5): - Good size room External bathroon
- Paola (9/5): Gentilezza al top - Struttura abbastanza centrale e in una zona tranquilla, va bene per soggiorni di pochi giorni. Colazione buona. La signora che si occupa della struttura di una gentilezza incredibile, lei meriterebbe un 10 La struttura è un pò datata e appare trascurata ma comunque molto pulita.
- Ada (9/5): - Colazione tradizionale semplice ma abbondante. La signora era presente solo al mattino ma é stat molto gentile e disponibile. Per il resto si procede con il self check in. Camera spazio e e pulita. A soli 10 minuti di autobus dal centro. La fermata é proprio davanti.
- David (9/5): - Buenas ubicación para llegar al centro, el autobús en la puerta. Todo correcto
- Elena (8/5): B&B carino, ottima posizione, pulizia da rivedere - La colazione era tipica Scozzese e cucinata la mattina stessa, molto buona per chi ama la colazione salata. La posizione super comoda, vicina a tutto e con la fermata del pullman a pochi metri. Bagno non pulito al nostro arrivo, con peli sul water. La camera carina, ma poco pulita co tanta polvere.
- sara (7/5): Discreto - La posizione buona proprio di fronte alla fermata del 14 che in 10 minuti porta al centro città
Buona la colazione Il metodo per entrare con un codice da inserire in maniera non facilissima, camera e bagno piccoli, doccia solo acqua bollente impossibile miscelare perché la manopola dell'acqua fredda non funzionava
- Thord (5/5): - Trevlig värdinna Trasig dusch, toaletten låg ute i hallen med väldigt högljutt kodlås och toalettstolen spolade knappt
- Bratta (9/5): Soggiorno a Edimburgo - L' accoglienza della signora che gestisce la struttura e' stata impeccabile, molto gentile e premurosa, inoltre la posizione e' ottima in quanto sì puo' raggiungere facilmente il centro sia a piedi che con i mezzi di trasporto. La colazione e' abbastanza varia e buona.
- Joanna (8/5): - Mało urozmaicone.
- Myrko (4/5): -
- Tiago (7/5): - Close to the city center.
Bus stop really close to the guest house.
Nice breakfast.
Staff really nice. Could be cleaner.
- Barbara (7/5): -
- Benoit (8/5): Un bon emplacement à Edimbourg - Les propriétaires sont charmants et l'emplacement est bien situé (25' à pied de la vieille ville, à 1/4 H d' Arthur's seat). Petit déjeuner correct mais sans plus.
- Lina Marie (4/5): Nicht zu empfehlen - Nettes Personal
Nachts überraschend ruhig
Flexibler Check in
3 sehr enge Parkplätze vor dem Haus Es war sehr dreckig
Schimmel in der Dusche
Abgewohnte Möbel
Die Fenster konnte man nicht schließen
Frühstück Wenig Auswahl, auch hier Tische und Buffet dreckig
- Sean (8/5): - Great location and has parking The bed is not so good
- Christelle (10/5): -
- Marcel (8/5): -
- NICOLETTA1968 (7/5): -
- Cassandra (8/5): Très bien - La proximité avec le centre ville, les restaurants et l'arrêt de bus juste à côté Je pensais que notre salle de bain privative serait dans notre chambre
- Alessandro (8/5): -
- Vincenzo (7/5): - Camera ampia. Struttura vicina alla fermata del bus Colazione disponibile solo dalle 8. Scarsa scelta per la colazione dolce, bagno non pulito nei giorni di permanenza e posizione a 20 minuti e piu a piedi dal centro, camera poco curata. Tende poco oscuranti e per questo Sveglia ogni giorno all'alba.
- Melissa (9/5): -
- Patrick (8/5): - Mooie schone kamers Iedere deur moet met een code worden geopend, ook de badkamer, dat is 's nachts niet altijd handig
- Sara (8/5): Would rate this accommodation very good - breakfast was included but we had an early flight so unable to experience that - Great location / clean and value for money
- Chiara (7/5): -
- Fionnuala Coyle (8/5): Good old fashioned B&B - Lady of the house Mei, exceptional hostess. Nothing an issue for her, and she was so helpful and informative with her local knowledge and assistance While breakfast was adequate would have preferred a bit more variety
- Christine (5/5): - Tischdecke im Frühstücksraum schmutzig. Schlechtes Frühstück.
- Martin (8/5): - Freundliche Inhaberin
Zugang mit Türcode, für flexible Check in Zeiten Die Matratzen waren sehr durchgelegen
- Asimenia (7/5): -
- Viesturs (8/5): -
- Alessandra (8/5): - Struttura accogliente, abbastanza vicino al centro. Colazione molto buona e abbondante. La signora che gestisce il posto è gentile e disponibile (ci ha tenuto i bagagli anche dopo il check out). Stanza non molto grande, ma con tutto il necessario; abbastanza pulita. Bagno delle giuste dimensioni e pulito. Il prezzo totale è un po' elevato, ma rispetto a tutto il resto e quello che la struttura offre, direi che è coerente. Avevamo il bagno privato al di fuori della stanza da letto, apribile con un codice. Lo sapevamo al momento della prenotazione, rimane comunque leggermente scomodo, ma ci si adatta.
- Mathieu (10/5): -
- Sheila (9/5): - El personal fue amable. El desayuno era sencillo pero completo. No hubo nada de ruido ni en el edificio ni en la calle.
- vanessa (10/5): - Desayuno muy variado y rico. La dueña super amable y todo muy limpio y cómodo.
- claudia (8/5): Signora Molto Simpatica Attenta - Colazione Posizione Sono Ottime
- Michaela (8/5): - Das Zimmer war absolut ausreichend. Ich hatte alles was ich brauchte. Das Frühstück war spartanisch aber gut. Einfacher Check in und Code für die Türen.
- Matthew (10/5): -
- Iñigo (8/5): Bien comunicado, limpio y fácil - Muy bien comunicado con el centro. El desayuno estaba bien. Las camas muy comodas. El baño limpio El baño separado de la habitación, aun sabiendo que la opción que elegimos era asi.
- christophe (8/5): -
- George (2/5): Very Poor. - Owner very friendly Very tired abd run down looking Guest House.Breakfast cold and a very poor standard.Very limited (2 spaces) carpark.Matress stained and lumpy as were pillows.
- Erica (6/5): Poco soddisfatta - Posizione comoda. Vicina alla fermata dell’autobus. Host gentile e disponibile. Il giorno della partenza abbiamo potuto lasciare i bagagli nella struttura così da finire gli ultimi giri per poi andare in aeroporto. Purtroppo la pulizia scarseggia. Presenza di polvere ovunque. Abbiamo trovato un capello attaccato alle porte della doccia e delle macchie sulla tavoletta del wc. Per la colazione c’è pochissima scelta, prettamente salata. Mi sono dovuta accontentare di toast con burro e marmellata e una tazza di the. Struttura un po’ datata.
- cristina (3/5): Non consiglio. - Posizione buona, a due passi dalla fermata dell'autobus e a 5 min in bus dal centro. La camera era sporca, le lenzuola e gli asciugamani erano macchiati...tutto andrebbe pulito in profondità..se non cambiato a nuovo.
- Maria Esther (7/5): - Situación El sistema de abrir la puerta del baño, con código es muy incómodo, y molesto porque tiene señal acústica y molesta a los demás
- christian (7/5): - Quiet and convenient for buses into city
- Renia (9/5): -
- Albertazzi (10/5): Rilassante - Personale disponibile, camera pulita letto comodo.
- Jose Roberto Martins (8/5): -
- Lene (6/5): Billig B&b tæt på Edinburgh Centrum - Udmærket beliggenhed i forhold til centrum Lidt sparsomt indretning.
- Raquel (9/5): -
- Rose (10/5): - Struttura a due passi dal centro, in una zona tranquilla e con la fermata del bus davanti l'albergo. Colazione con pane tostato, burro e marmellata, frutta, succo, latte e cereali e inoltre quella tipica scozzese. Tutto ok
- Ana (10/5): - Pequeno almoço muito completo Tudo impecável
- Päivi (7/5): -
- Caroline (9/5): Lovely relaxing stay! - Loved the location, walkable distance to the Arthur’s seat trail and the city centre. Bus stops on the same street if you don’t fancy the walk. We stayed in room 5 which had an en-suite, it was clean, very comfortable and the internet connection was great. Breakfast was lovely, lots of choice. Mai was really welcoming and made us feel at home. Thank you for a lovely stay. 🙂 N/A
- Julie (6/5): Un rafraîchissement à prévoir et ça serait le top ! - L'emplacement top
La taille de la chambre très bien
L'accessibilité au top, tu peux circuler à ta guise. Portes à codes au top
Réactivité de l'hôte au top
La dame présente tous les jours est très souriante et accueillante. Chambre refaite tous les jours et linge remis si nécessaire. La literie est en très mauvais état, matelas très vieux, creusé++ et taché. Le surmatelas ne suffit pas à combler sa vétusté. Nous avions une des plus grande chambre de la maison avec salle de bain privative. Prévoir un rafraîchissement du mobilier. Portes armoires cassées, meuble de salle de bain 1 miroir sur 2. Porte de la douche difficile à mobiliser. Rideaux de la chambres défraîchis tout comme le linge de lit.

- Klaudia (9/5): -
- Chris (9/5): Great accommodation with a convenient location - Great in-room facilities, with a desk, coffee table and chairs, and complimentary tea and coffee
Good shower
Excellent buffet breakfast of continental and cooked options
Convenient location
- Lorena (10/5): Perfecta experiencia!! - Todo perfecto, la amabilidad, la cercanía al centro, el desayuno, la comodidad. Todo super bien. Volveríamos! No hay nada que no nos gustara
- Julia (10/5): - Perfect stay, the lady was super Nice ! :)
- charlotte (2/5): Avoid at all costs - The only positive thing I can say about this place is the location, well connected to the city centre. Where do I begin?
Let’s break it down into a few different sections.
-damaged, badly maintained seperate bathroom with snapped off tiles, residue from previous appliance,dirty grout, dirty mirror,damp on the ceiling and towels in bad, old condition. The towels are also very small and as this is a seperate bathroom, can be embarrassing for us to use and then cross the hall to our room. The towels are also not refreshed and the bathroom is not cleaned whilst we are out and about.
-the hotel room looks like it hasn’t been maintained or decorated in fifteen years, this includes, Dinks in the door, gaps in the door, scrapes and scuffs on the wall, suspected damp on one side of the room, a cheap, inefficient mirror, no wardrobe or adequate storage, scuffed and damaged furniture making it seem cheap and careless, bed linen fitted inside out and threadbare, only one pillow per guest and no option to ask for more, a sheet only big enough the cover the mattress toooer which also lacks quality and finally, a lock that isn’t very user friendly.
-the advertised included breakfast is abysmal and in a dirty dining room setting. The tables are small and even the place mats don’t match, the crockery is visibly used which raises questions about hygiene,glassware is much the same and breakfast is lukewarm at best and left us feeling a little unwell. The heaters the food is served in also looks in bad condition. The presentation of the breakfast is also unacceptable, the toaster looks like it was found in the bin and yet again so many scrapes and damages to the walls of the dining room.
My main concerns here is that each room has a lock worth about £100 each and whilst it is appreciated that security is thought about, it’s ludicrous that nothing else has been shown care or thought.
When returning to our room after being out for the day, it was evident no effort was made to clean the room.
- Michal (10/5): Perfektní ubytování - Ideální lokalita pro cesty do centra i mimo centrum, snídaně formou švédských stolů byla super. Hostitelka byla velice milá a nápomocná. Na pár dnů, pro poznání Edinburghu, naprosto skvělé ubytování. Postel by mohla být větší a pohodlnější, jinak vše bez problému.
- Luca (10/5): Capodanno a Edimburgo - Bed and breakfast distante una ventina di minuti a piedi dal centro di Edimburgo. La casa è un edificio tradizionale a cui si accede tramite codici inviati via mail, con pulizia ineccepibile e stanze spaziose. Il personale ti accoglie in maniera gentile e professionale, servendo un'abbondante e buona colazione. Il quartiere è un po' periferico ma l'atmosfera è calda e confortevole.
- Magdalena (10/5): - Polecam. Hotelik świetnie zlokalizowany, blisko centrum, przy samym przystanku autobusowym. Personel przesympatyczny. Czysto. Śniadanie typowo angielskie. Polecam z czystym sumieniem 😊
- Carolina (10/5): -
- Josef (7/5): -
- Jan (9/5): Decent Hotel - Good internet connection, easy and simple check in and friendly staff. The dining room could have been cleaner.
- Andrew (8/5): - Friendly staff
- Mari Carmen (10/5): -
- christophe (9/5): -
- Emily (10/5): -
- Andrea (9/5): Great! - Excellent location. Friendly and accommodating staff. Clean and bright. Breakfast also included. Only thing I would mention would be the bed wasn’t the most comfortable.
- Luana (10/5): - Hospedagem confortável e café da manhã delicioso
- Monica (10/5): - La atencion ..May ,creo era la dueña una hermosa anfiftriona.Nos sentimos como en casa.Gracias volveria sin dudardo Al principio el baño afuera de la habitacion,pero luego lo agradeci.
- Sara Piazza (9/5): -
- Roberta (9/5): Consigliato, ci tornerei - Struttura molto centrale, semplice, ma dotata di tutto. Rapporto qualità prezzo molto elevato.
Abbiamo chiesto di lasciare i bagagli al nostro arrivo e dopo il check out e, pur non essendo un servizio garantito, non ci sono stati problemi.
Gradita molto anche la colazione, semplice ed essenziale ma compresa nel prezzo è sufficiente per girare la città senza dover subito andare al bar.
- Cynthia (8/5): -
- anghel (10/5): Dacă voi mai visita Edinburgh o să mă cazez tot aici - Am ajuns mai devreme și gazda a răspuns imediat la telefon dădu.ne codul de acces Una dintre camere nu avea baie în cameră și a fost mai incomod
- Karolina (8/5): Świetna lokalizacja - Świetna lokalizacja, blisko przystanek autobusowy, spacerem do centrum. W pobliżu 2 świetne puby i sklepy.
- Montano Fierro (7/5): -
- yi (10/5): -
- Knees (10/5): - Very beautiful house. It was super cosy, everything kept to a high standard and it was very easy to access.
- Maria Justina (4/5): -
- carolina (7/5): -
- Sara (8/5): -
- Beatriz (9/5): Super agradável e acolhedora, recomendo bastante. - A hospitalidade dos anfitriões e a atenção nos pequenos detalhes. O quarto é bastante espaçoso, com aquecimento e água quente. A localização é excelente, com vários autocarros à porta. O colchão era demasiado mole, o que o tornava um pouco desconfortável
- Anna (10/5): Awesome :) - Was a lovely atmosphere, I didn’t come into contact with any staff but even so the place had a lovely vibe. I was travelling for playing music and it was just what I needed
- May Zaw (1/5): - Location, facilities. But, the room is not sound proofing, and there were noises of unlocking of doors at 4am (about 10 times)! The host was very rude. Although I have requested for an hour late check out, the lady came and shouted at me to check out as soon as possible. Although I tried her to be calm and explain that my late check out request had been approved trying to show the email, she refused to look at it. I really didn’t get why she was that rude.
- Téa (8/5): - Le petit déjeuner était copieux. Le logement est facilement accessible. Le matelas était assez fin.
- Neil (2/5): It was our worst experience in the past 40 years of travelling. - To be honest, we did not like anything. On arriving at the property, we were shocked to see how dilapidated it was. Inside the decor was poor, the bed linen and bath towels were of poor quality and well worn. The breakfast room and contents were not clean and in poor quality. The whole experience
- emilie (8/5): - La gentillesse des hotes. La chambre etait confortable et cosy.
- Araceli (9/5): Great place with Scottish flavour - Todo bien Quizás faltaba un espejo grande en el baño
- Ramon (8/5): -
- Naila (10/5): -
- Sara (10/5): -
- Daniel (10/5): -
- Eliza (8/5): - The property was very close to town, close to bus stops and the breakfast included was very nice!
- brian (8/5): - Comfy bed and friendly owner Hot breakfast was very limited and would be better if cooked to order so it was hot
- chrysa Nomikou (10/5): - Μικρό αλλά πολύ βολικό δωμάτιο. Ο οικοδεσπότης πολύ ευγενικός και καλό πρωινό.
