It was a nice stay there. Room and washroom was clean. But it was quite small room for 3 people. Just one cupboard given for 3 persons.

Good value and helpful hosts
Located about 20 mins walk from the centre of Edinburgh, and also a similar distance to the Royal Yacht at Leith, this guest house is very good value for money - considering the prices of hotels nearer the centre The room was clean and comfortable and the shower was hot and powerful. All the basic essentials were provided. The continental breakfast consisted of croissants, pain au chocolate, fresh fruit, yoghurt, cereal, toast, cold meat and cheese as well as tea, coffee and fruit juice, so it set us up well for the day. The last word must go to the hosts, Mohammed and Khalid, who were both extremely amenable, helpful and polite, ensuring that each guest had all the information they needed to ensure they enjoyed their stay in Edinburgh, it was a pleasure to meet them. This is not a luxury hotel, but it has all you need at a reasonable price.

UNCOMFORTABLE AND POKY
Room very small, one bathroom between whole load of rooms, towels weren’t changed, poky room, needs a good clean, single room has a low ceiling, I’m tall and is completely impractical. Didn’t try the continental breakfast. Guest room doors banging etc was commonplace, not a comfy experience, better places around for the same tariff.

A guesthouse with character and wonderful hosts
An extremely clean and comfortable guesthouse with exceptional hosts who went out of their way to ensure l had everything l needed. They arranged taxis for me and even ensured l had breakfast when l woke up late one morning and missed the scheduled breakfast time. It's a bit of a walk from Princes Street (35 min or so) but that wasn't a big deal for me. Would highly recommend.

The hosts were very welcoming and helpful. They booked us a taxi and got us out of the chaos of a marathon to get us to the airport. The breakfast was mediocre at best, but all in all, we were very satisfied with our accommodations.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Very polite staff but no good for a business trip as I had to wait until 08.30 for breakfast so laid on my bed waiting. Really not ideal when I need to be on the road and in meetings. Everyone piled in at 08.30 for breakfast so not really practical to be honest. Also, breakfast was not clear. It didn’t state continental of full breakfast so would've been nice to know. Although pleasant and clean, the bed was like sleeping on a pillow so was way too soft for my liking but each to their own I suppose. I think it was ok for the price but wouldn’t stay again.

This is a pleasant property and generally very clean. Friendly, welcoming staff. However......the electric shower cut out twice on two separate occasions, and could only be re-set at the MCB, which is impossible to do whilst half-way through a shower. The property is warm whilst the heating is on, but it is off most of the day and the temperature falls significantly. When you call the manager’s number, you can hear the phone ringing downstairs, but there is no-one in attendance to help. For a little more, I would stay in a hotel next time. We chose this guesthouse due to close proximity to a relative.
