We had a lovely stay here! The owner is very kind & let us keep our rental car parked on the property after we checked out so we did not have to find street parking. It’s easy to walk to the city and very clean and cozy! Would stay here again.

Enjoyed our stay in this guest house. The area is a bit out of downtown but is walkable, and has a good selection of local restaurants and pubs to choose from. The rooms were clean and comfortable, however the road outside was a little noisy at night. Otherwise, a great stay for the price compared to everywhere else. The owner was very friendly when he checked us in. Thank you!

Bed/pillow was one of the most uncomfortable I've ever slept on. Noticed the room I got is conveniently not in the photos. Not owners fault but other guests were extremely loud at 2am slamming doors and walking through hall and down stairs. Could hear people above us zip a bag shut. Owner was very friendly and helped with luggage, unfortunately room was just terrible.

Beautiful guest home, authentic features. Rooms on the small side, except the room for 3 was spacious. Beautiful crown moldings, wood staircase. Host carried my bag up the stairs, which was appreciated. Had issues with no hot water.

Very expensive for what it was, £390 for two nights room only in a small room and bathroom. No reception as advertised and no breakfast as sales website had you believe. I guess it was bank holiday and marathon weekend, but could of got a proper hotel for the money

The guest house was lovely, in a great location close to everything in Edinburgh by walking or bus. The room was small but nice, and clean. Good value for money, we would happily book Eamonn’s property again when visiting Edinburgh

Spent a very comfortable night here. Eamonn the owner was very helpful allowing me to drop my bags incredibly early. The room was clean and warm with tea and coffee making facilities and some little biscuits, which was a nice touch. The room was as described and as per pictures, so no nasty suprises. Reasonable price for a good size room within walking distance of the centre. I would happily stay again. Thank you Eamonn.

Lovely period home. Room one was large with a bath. Plenty of hot water. Lots of electrical sockets/extensions. Eamonn was very helpful. No breakfast at the accommodation, but The Wee Café round the corner is lovely, traditional and modern breakfast options and homemade scones, brownies etc. 25 minutes walk to the royal mile, but lots of buses as it’s a main road route.

A bit too far from city centre but bus stop is just 1 min away. Room could use a bit of an update and blinds could use a bit of dusting. Otherwise good value all in all.

Good basic room during the very busy Edinburgh Military Tattoo and Fringe Festival. Near bus stops out from central core which made it less expensive and more available. Staff gave us basic information, but would have been helpful to receive more tips about things we should know on how to navigate the city and getting back to the room. No food options in the immediate area.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
I so wish I had better things to report as I am pretty easygoing in terms of travel. Main issues: 1. Room was not as advertised on the site- one bed not two. Host was not open to feedback to change the photo on the site- this is room 5. 2. Stain on the duvet. When reported the host appeared to doubt our observation until we literally showed him. 3. No breakfast- update site to reflect this although there were lots of biscuits treats and tea and coffee 4. Hot water was intermittent especially in the morning and the bathroom was very small. Good things- room was large and house is lovely. Short walk to Royal Mile and a lovely breakfast spot around the corner. Close to transportation and quiet. Just think the site should be updated and host could have been more welcoming.
