Excellent accueil avec un service impeccable et des personnes à l’écoute et pleines de bon conseils sur la ville ! Très bonne literie et petit déjeuner copieux. Très bien placé pour prendre le bus. Foncez si vous aimez les logements avec une âme vintage et typique scottish.

Such a lovely place to stay for a weekend stay in the city. The daily breakfast was a huge plus and was made to your liking. The room was nice and quaint with a comfortable bed. Highly recommend when in the city even if a little off the path from the touristy areas

The hosts were very helpful and the property was quite comfortable. Our room was cozy (as advertised and not a surprise), the breakfast was wonderful and the dining room was lovely. The walls were a bit thin, however, and you could hear the guests in the adjoining rooms. Nonetheless, I would stay here again.

Great hospitality
Enjoyed our stay, is an older property but well taken care of, a reminder of a similar older property we visited in Montreal. Very friendly and helpful owner. A little ways away from the Old Town but had a bus stop only a minute away to get you right down to Princes Street.

David and staff are outstanding hosts! The rooms are clean and comfortable, and breakfast tasty and offers good choice. We walked to downtown along a quiet path next to a creek, and found great restaurants 20 minutes away. We highly recommend A Haven!

Very quaint, fit in well with the surrounding neighborhood. Good breakfasts, friendly staff, bus route to Princes St was 50 feet from the front door.
Only issue was the shower, which didn’t have much pressure on the 3rd floor and only warmed up to slightly warm (although the tap water was hot as you please). A small nit, overall it was a great place to stay for 4 nights and see the many sights of Edinburgh!

Room was very comfortable, breakfast generous and location was close enough to walk to tourist attractions if able bodied. If not public transport was available.
