Edinburgh is a relatively expensive city for accommodation, so I assume Blossom Guest House is in line with its cost. There was no breakfast. The room (family) was provided free, when I had booked an ordinary double room. My only negative concerns the provision of a small table and one chair, which was awkward for dining. The hosts were friendly, but I was surprised to be told shortly before checkout that the time to leave was between 10am to 11am.
