Had a great stay here! Booked one night last minute when my plans changed and it was a very lovely place. The host was very kind and the room was clean and very cozy with a kettle, some tea bags, a small drink fridge, wardrobe, and bathroom.It is in such a beautiful neighbor on a quiet street. The area is perfect for a walk.There was also a small common room downstairs with refrigerators for food items. Perfect for my needs as a solo minimal traveler. Would stay again.

Location is a quiet residential street on the fringe of the hip area of Stockbridge (not central Edinburgh). The room was a good size with big bay windows and period features. The bed was comfortable with good quality bed linen. …

This is a very quaint place to stay, but it has lots of stairs & no lift. There is no breakfast provided. It is not handicapped friendly, but it is lovely and clean, with great hot water and decent sized towels, and it is in a good area.

I choose this b&b because it looks good in the pictures and the price looks quite attractive, but after I stay at here, I find trade conveniences for price may not be a smart choice in this case. …

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the New Town Guest House in Edinburgh, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations.The first thing that struck me was the cleanliness and tidiness of both the bedroom and the bathroom. The attention to detail was evident throughout, with everything meticulously organized and spotlessly clean. The bed linen and duvet were of excellent quality, providing a cozy and luxurious sleeping experience.There are plenty of restaurants, coffee shops and local independent businesses in the area.One of the highlights of the hotel was its brilliant location. Situated within walking distance of the city center, it was easy to explore all that Edinburgh has to offer. For those who prefer not to walk, there was a convenient bus stop nearby, allowing for quick and effortless transportation.Overall, my experience at the New Town Guest House was fantastic, and I can't wait to return on my next visit to Edinburgh. The exceptional service, immaculate rooms, helpful staff, and attention to detail made it a truly memorable stay. If you're looking for a hotel with all these qualities and more, I highly recommend the New Town Guest House.

The room assigned to me was very tiny, can hardly open my luggage without blocking all the activity space. There are several bus lines around this house, line 36 is the most convenient but this bus rarely appear, I need to walk 7-10 mins to find other bus stops to the city center, if you have big luggage, you will not like walking on the bumpy steep stone road. Service level is OK, all self serviced check in and out, and room is generally clean.

I booked a room here through a travel website. I tried to contact them multiple times directly to confirm my reservation and I received zero contact back. I sent both emails and WhatsApp messages according to their website. When I tried to get the charge reversed through my credit card New Town told my credit card company that the services were delivered. NO SERVICE of any kind was delivered. This might be a nice place. I'll never know because they have zero customer service. Whatever you do, don't book through a third party.
