Just returned from a lovely long weekend away in Edinburgh. The location is perfect for all the sights, both old and new town. Short walk from the train station and the beautiful Princes Gardens. Staff were very friendly, showed us around and explained breakfast and other facilities on arrival. The room was comfortable and had plenty of space for a... More

Had a great 5 night stay. The Latvian lady housekeeper couldn't have been more helpful to make my stay more comfortable. Stayed in a single room on the 3rd (which is really the first accommodation) floor. Rarely eat breakfast, but what I saw of the continental breakfast there was all you could eat. The stairs might put a few people... More

Just returned from a romantic weekend break in Edinburgh and we were well looked after at the Edinburgh Townhouse. The proprietor is very friendly, showing us to our room and explaining breakfast and other facilities concisely and politely. The room was spacious enough for a couple of nights, with a dressing table and wardrobe, but not much space for luggage... More

I recently stayed at this hotel visiting Edinburgh for a long weekend and i found it great. The location is ideal and the room very clean and comfortable. It also has great value for money and it definetely exceeded my expectations! The only drawback was the very early breakfast. Apart from serving a Continental breakfast (would definetely fancy an English... More

Found this to be perfectly located. Was able to walk from the rail station or to the Royal Mile with the map the owner provided me upon arrival. Clean and cozy. Not sure I could ask for more.

Great location and we haggled the price down so it was good. However the ceilings were about 6ft max, the room had slopping ceilings so it was very hard to stand up, the breakfasts were only served 8-9am, oh and the bathroom was tiny too!

This guesthouse is iedally located for a city break with an easy access to all major attractions. Despite the cleanliness and the comfortable room, I must admit that I did not sleep that well as the neighbourhood was noisy (works just down the street) and I couldn't close the window properly!

This B&B is within easy walking distance of all the essential sights in downtown Edinburgh. The staff is top notch with a strong service orientation.

I stayed here for 2 nights to attend a training course for work. I found the Guesthouse very easily by foot from Waverley Station. It seems to be in a really nice neighbourhood and is only 10 minutes walk from the Castle and all the other tourist attractions. I stayed in a single room which was an adequate size. The... More
