It was very good with a simple way into the city with a bus stop literally across the road. The rooms were very clean and it was nicely compact without feeling cramped. The shower water was extremely adjustable but it did take a short minute to heat up and turn on and off after pressing the button. There were also only 3 plug sockets all surrounding the desk.

Room for 3 should be a room for 2... way too small for 3 people. Very clean but decoration could be modernized a bit

I was contacted by the owner prior to arrival who gave me the check in process. The room was very clean and comfortable. Tea and coffee making was available and there were welcome snacks in the room. The Wifi was quick and did not drop out while using it.||Clean and tidy private bathroom was most appreciated.

I stayed at the Brae Guest House for four nights this week. I booked a single room with private bathroom which to my horror was at the end of the corridor which if it had been stated as a separate private bathroom I would never have booked …

Near the city centre by bus. Quiet and calm location very close to Arthur's sitting, one of those best view of the city.

Nice place to rest and sleep! The breakfast is ok, the room is perfect for us and clean.Not too far to Portobello beach (around 20mins by feet), Arthur's seat (25/30mins) and the city center (30mins). We have walked a lot during our journey, but it's really easy and nice.
