This is just an honest review with our thoughts on our stay. When we were checking in which was just around the end of the check in time we expected more professionalism. The night porter/ receptionist came around in pyjamas, and not friendly or welcoming, would recommend customer service training, because being nice is free. The room did not really look like the one on the pictures. Once we got to our room it stank of whisky, but there are also some positives. The room was very clean including the bathroom - bedding and towels. The room had amenities, coffee and tea, kettle and a TV. To add the room was warm, and the pillows and mattress were comfortable.

A good quality bedroom and bathroom, in a warm, well presented building. The bedroom was not large but perfect for the 2 of us. We liked it and would book again. On Leith Walk a short walk away a range of interesting eateries. We chose Turkish. There was also Tai, Indian, Italian, and others. Took time for staff to open entrance door and a system to advise staff have heard bell and are coming would be helpful. Staff were very helpful.

Do not recommend.
We did not have a great experience at this guest house. It all started with our check in. What a mess. It said to ring the bell at the next door over and to wait for someone to service us. Nothing stated how long this would take. We rang the bells (mind you there was two bells, didn't know which to ring, so rang both) and waited, and waited. Nobody showed up. We tried calling the emergency numbers, but those didn't work either. After a quite some time we tried talking to neighbors and one finally helped us out. We were eventually let in, but instead of just apologizing the lady just said she didn't hear any bell, we must not have rung the right one. She continued to push the buttons to show us how it works, and then realized that they didn't actually work very well. Then she proceeded to take our info and gave us the key. The room itself we small, but mostly clean. Uncomfortable bed. Tiny added bathroom in the room, could barely get on the shower. Parking sucked, as you had to park on the street, but there was not a lot of free space, and if you did manage to get a space, it is paid parking during the day. Most parking on the street is permit parking. Overall, we did not have a good time at this place. Would not stay again.

The staff did not answer the bell for 30 minutes. Another couple went to a neighbors door who finally let us in and then the property manager said we didn’t ring the bell.

As good as the property was, the room I was given was big and spacious, but it started leaking water right on one of the beds when it rained just about the time I was checking out this morning. Apart from this, it's a fantastic please.

I have never been so disgusted at any hotel or guest house as this one. They were advised my wife was disabled and we were put in the basement using a spiral type staircase. No opening window only skylight dark dingy and very hot and stuffy. The overall condition of this property was in dire need of modernisation. The price is disgusting Your pictures on Expedia's website do NOT GIVE AN HONEST reflection.

Just a quick overnight before heading home to Canada. Well situated close to Tram so we didn't have to fight through the Royal Highland Show masses to get to the airport.

The staff would benefit from being a bit more hospitable. We arrived fifteen minutes earlier with heavy bags and they made it seem like they were doing us a massive favour by letting us check in minutes earlier. Hiked up prices for Taylor Swift. Comfortable but not worth the money.

Only stayed 1 night as stopover. No breakfast or parking but room was clean and comfy, perfect for what was needed for us. Two things I'd ask to fix: shelf in bathroom was falling down and curtains didn't quite cover the window so light crept in bit too early. Other than that it was perfectly nice accommodation, easy check-in and check-out
