We have spent two nights in this Guest House. The hotel is very well connected. As for the room, we got the one with a private bathroom outside the room. But that was no problem. Everything very clean and many different products for personal hygiene.The attention has been very good from the hosts. A typical breakfast from the area that was very delicious.We highly recommend it!!

Danny and Jasmine are exceptional hosts! The room was spotless and equipped with all the essential amenities. Although the bathroom for my single room was external, it was private and conveniently located just two steps across the hall. Breakfast was plentiful and absolutely delicious. The location is ideal – with a bus stop right in front of the house offering direct access to the city center, and a tram stop just a few minutes away for easy travel to and from the airport. I would love to stay here again on my next visit to Edinburgh. Highly recommended!

The owner treated us very kindly and was always ready to help us. The room and bathroom were very clean. In addition, the hostel is completely eco-friendly. It is a very quiet and pleasant place to sleep in Edinburgh, I recommend it 100%.

Traditional guest house with nice friendly owners. I went for the cheaper room (private bathroom but not ajoining), which had everything I need. Little noise at night (trams/bus, cats meowing), but still happy overall. Enjoyed, thank you.

They seemed nice, but the room we were in was not to our liking. The room was a shocking bright yellow. The bed, bottom sheet, and duvet were uncomfortable. Couldn’t tell if they were fresh.  …

Would recommend this as a place to stay - very clean, comfortable, welcoming host, nice breakfast. Easy to get to central Edinburgh by bus or 15 min walk. Once they (finally) finish the tram you'll be able to get from the Airport to here direct. Not the fanciest place but very, very good value for money considering Edinburgh prices.

Great value, clean and comfortable rooms and friendly hosts. Nice breakfast on offer though I did not partake. Had a room with separate bathroom located across the hall but was not shared and had a large bathtub.||||Great guest house and the area seems to be gentrifying very nicely and right beside a park.
