Charlie, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

This guest house is basic but well priced for Edinburgh and not far from the train / bus station. It is off Leith Walk and about 20 minutes walk from the main train station.
George, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Very small but clean rooms which are sufficient for a city trip. Check in didn't work well unfortunately, we received the necessary information a day too late and even though we told them in advance we would arrive late in the evening, we were left at the front door for 10 minutes until somebody finally opened.

Our 3-day stay16 Pilirig gust house

Two Adults Monday check-in 15th August 2022 (1 PM) to Thursday, 18th August 2022 (10 AM) £364.53. 16 Pilirig guest house we were welcomed in and given the criteria for our three-night stay. At £115 a night, breakfast is extra at £10 each, Sausage, beans & egg but no bacon, a yale front door key to enter at night and with 2 big old keys for room and a separate bathroom that we had to carry around with us. We climbed 46 steps to the top floor of the house, the attic, where there are four rooms and one bathroom squeezed into where two rooms would have originally been. Our room number 8 has an old-style door lock, and so is the bathroom across the hall. The room is an L shape, with a double bed pushed against the blue-painted chipped wall on the narrow part of the room where I can stand up. The part where I could not stand up in, has a 45-degree ceiling that goes all around the longer end of the room with a single bed under the slope of the attic roof where I banged my head every morning. No window view in this room as only one small Velux widow that we could not open, this is on the slopping ceiling facing the sky with no blind to stop any light from waking us in the morning. I banged my head multiple times while stooping down and moving in the low ceiling space in the main part of the room. There are no chairs in this room so had to use the bed as an uncomfortable seat. The room smells damp, and our clothes got damp even if left in the suitcase. No wardrobe, just a small me

Stanza molto bella al di sopra delle aspettative. Letti comodi. Tè e caffè a disposizione in camera. Colazione buona a un prezzo ragionevole.

i booked room with private washroom but that was outside the room not attached but room is small as well other thing are ok
Raza, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Nice and quiet, but room was too small

Nice, quiet location close to great restaurants. Service and cleanliness was good. Beds were comfortable. However, the size of the room we got for three adults was very small and the ceiling was slanted so it was hard to move around the room, and it made the room feel even smaller. We knew before going that we had a private bathroom that was out in the hallway which was clean and looked recently renovated, but it was very small.

8/10 Very good

Typical small British B&B, but not family run. Rooms smallish but very clean. They have been renovated and the beds are super confortable. The staff was very kind, but breakfast was not included. The area offers cafes and plenty of public transport.

Apprécié et fonctionnel

Nous avons eu la chambre avec la salle de bain séparée sur le pallier. Pas pratique mais pour deux nuits ça va. Chambre propre, équipée, fonctionnelle. Idem pour la salle de bain. Employés agréables et souriants. Facile d’accès, pas trop loin du centre. Attention, si vous voyagez léger et que vous préférez garder vos affaires et laisser les clefs dans la boîte à code pour ne pas les perdre, ils vont croire que vous rendez les clés et vont relouer la chambre 😅 Heureusement, solution trouvé ! Je recommande !

Sympathique

Accueil sympathique, chambre très agréable pour 3, dont un lit double et un lit simple, salle de bain dans la chambre. Propreté au top. Je vous le conseille. On entend tout de même un peu la route. Nous étions au 2 eme étages. Sans asc mais cela se monte assez facilement même après de longues journée de marche . Tram/ bus à 50m, juste à côté.

La habitación y hotel muy limpios, el inconveniente es que te cobra 10 libras después de las 12. Y no nos abrieron hasta después de una hora después de estar tocan el timbre, se escuchaba ruido adentro y ni si abrieron antes

Marisol, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Basic and No Frills

Definitely a no frills stay. Located about 25 minutes (on foot) from the train station. They let us check in 15 min early. We asked for a cab at 4:30am they told us they would call one and ended up not doing that. There was no direction on what to do with the keys, so we left them in the room. The rooms were clean, but super small. I feel like I would have benefited from staying a little closer to the action. The price was pretty good and there are some places to eat near by, but it was a meh experience.

The property was good and cheap. Safe. Quiet. Support staff on site. Only drawback is heater was not working and was provided with a noisy fan heater. Not a great option when you have an active toddler.
