10/10 Exceptional

Cute Guest House

It was a short 30 minute walk to the City Center in a great area with lots of nice restaurants and coffee shops nearby. The room had beautiful huge windows and the beds were comfortable.
Vanessa, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Good place to stay!

The check in and out was very handy no issues. The room was clean and very comfortable and had everything you needed. In a great location with a bus stop into town literally right across the road- the hosts were on site if needed!
Kimberly, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

The guest house was great for what i needed. Location was perfect - lots of buses that stop right outside and take you directly up to the city centre, but also easily walkable as well. The guest house is also close to the start of trails for Arthur’s Seat. It was very easy to check in and check out, and the guest house was super clean.

joan, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

The location of this place was very good. About a mile to the Royal Mile, Castle and Market. Good choices of restaurants in walking distance. 1 of the smallest places I've ever stayed at. I'm 6'0" and I barely fit in the shower. Hardly any room for our luggage without tripping over it. The people running the place were so great. So friendly. Always available for any issues we had. Their 1 son was even an Uber driver which made things very convenient.
