The rooms are cozy and well cleaned and kept up. It was a very quiet neighborhood. We also asked our hostess if we could get help with a taxi to the airport on our last night there. …

Ms B.S. Chan (owner??) is lacking a little in her email etiquette sadly. And maybe in the way she deals with her seemingly petrified staff. …

Such a great place to stay in Edinburgh. The location was perfect and quiet. The owner is kind, welcoming and very clean. Once we walked in the door we felt very at home. Everything was spotless and rooms are spacious. Breakfast was great.They day we were leaving we had an early train to catch and we were surprised to have sandwiches made for us on our door handle ready to take with us.Location from the Royal Mile: It is a 5-10 minute tram ride away.I recommend this charming hidden gem to anyone looking for a place to stay. you won't regret it!

Absolutely fantastic hotel! Mrs Chan was charming and couldn't do enough for us to make us feel at home. The hotel was incredibly clean- spotless, with comfy beds and the breakfast was delicious! Great location for the tram and just 20mins walk from the city centre. Such a warm cosy and inviting place to come back to after a very rainy day out. We were even able to leave out bags after checkout- to explore the city bag free due to our late flight. Next time I'm in Edinburgh, will be sure to use Grosvenor Gardens again!

A beautifully quaint little hotel within easy walking distance of local transport links. My husband and I stayed here for two nights in early September, having arrived at Edinburgh airport in the early morning.  …

Stay here if you can. This is a marvelous guest house. Hostess is so nice and helpful. Scottish breakfast made to order was wonderful. It is a short block's walk to the tram and a 10ish minute ride to Princes street. Our family room was large and comfortable. We will stay again the next time we are in Edinburgh.
