We only stayed one night in a small double room at this property, but the room was quite adequate and the bathroom was especially wonderful--great shower, good lighting, recently remodeled. It is also located in a nice neighborhood, with several good restaurants and coffee shops close-by, and a reasonable walk (about a mile) to the Royal Mile.

Guest House or Ghost Town?
While the room was pleasant & comfortable, the guest house itself felt abandoned. For my entire 3 night stay I never saw anyone staffing the front desk, the restaurant looked shuttered & it appeared as if no one was in charge.

We stayed at this Guesthouse on 2 separate nights. We were able to check in early and staff were very polite and considerate.
Beautiful old property just needs a little refresh.

Good: handy location, spacious room and spotlessly clean. Staff member I saw was very friendly and helpful
Bad: slightly shabby decor in places. Also expensive but that seems to be the norm for Edinburgh - definitely pricier than previous visits to the city.

Lovely comfortable, spacious room. Lots of really great coffee spots nearby and some amazing food options without the tourist tax of the city centre.
I will definitely stay again next time we're up.

A very convenient place close to the attractions. The place needs a bit of renovation but is located in a good area.
Can use some comfortable mattresses as the current ones are not good and the bathroom fan was too loud.
