Let me be clear with a true and honest review. ||If you look and pay for cheap accommodation than that is what you get here. ||Pros: it was clean. (Except for one cup). …

Stayed here a while back and could not fault it. Perfect family run b&b. We were upgraded to the largest room free of charge. Room was clean, massive and had a lovely historical feel to it. Breakfast was help yourself, it was fresh and plenty some. Extremely close to all the city center amenities. We tried to rebook but was fully booked for the dates we wanted. Looks like therse a lot of bad reviews on here, it's a shame as we enjoyed our stay and for the price we paid you can't go wrong!

Very affordable accomodation quite near to the old town and Edinburgh Castle. Everything is clean and you have a private Bath with shower. It might get a little cold but the provided heating does suffice if run at full power. Glad I booked this and can recommend this to anyone who doesn't want to pay too much but also doens't want a hostel.

The bed was so comfy I asked if I can take it home couldn't fault the room at all fresh n clean and I stayed two nights got fresh towels the manager was helpful with the tv and it was easy to find from the train station. The hotel messages you on email or booking com and you can contact them back through that service

Basic room which has seen better days. Tiny en suite, but did the job. Average level of cleaning and care. It is on a fairly busy road and as it was warm we had to keep the window open.  …

I do not like leaving negative reviews but this hotel was not great. It is a very old building and had some character but it needs a lot of updating and some fixing up.  …

We booked this hotel under the impression it’s was a 4 star (what it was rated on booking.con) but turns out it was a 3 star, the manager seemed friendly enough, only saw him twice and no other member of staff. …

The most terrible experience with this place! My friend and I booked a room in this guesthouse… in the same day, our trip to Edinburgh was canceled as my friend’s mum passed away. We immediately contacted the property to cancel our booking but they wouldn’t allow us to cancel booking or change dates!I tried to ring them several times but no answer! They mentioned in their messages later that there’s nobody around after 6pm for check in. I received no response till the next day to inform me that they decided to charge us for the first night and refund us for the second night.That felt like total scam as the circumstances were quite clear.After reading reviews, I’m happy we didn’t stay there anyway. Terrible service.

Comfortable stay. Central location just 5mins to the city centre. Our landlord let us arrive 2 hours early to check in and was very helpful. The room was nice with tartan bed sheets, tub, tea and coffee facilities and a nice clean bathroom. A good hotel for couples. Thanks!
