The main complaint with this guest house was the complete lack of hot water pressure - and I mean a trickle - in the shower. Admittedly we were on the top floor, but when we approached management about the problem we were given excuses rather than an apology or solution. Otherwise, the room was clean and comfortable, breakfast was OK... more

Problem fixed 29th July 2008. As I tried to explain to the guest the solution to the problem would take some major plumbing and building work. A special mains pressure cylinder was already on order but would take another week to arrive. All I could do in the mean time was to set the shower so that it basically worked...

My friend and I stayed here for two nights when we went up to Edinburgh to watch a rugby match. The location is a little way from the city centre, in the south side of Edinburgh, but only 10 minutes by taxi from Waverley station (cost about £5 or £6) if there's no traffic, or you can get a bus... more

I stayed at Smith´s guesthouse for a little over two weeks, first for work then for a holiday afterwards. I found Mr. Smith very helpful, welcoming and fun to talk to. Mrs. Smith was also welcoming though because she works elsewhere you are likely to meet her less. They both went out of their way on a number of occasions... more

I stayed at Smith's Guest House for 7 days. Making your way to the place is a bit of a hassle. It is rather far from Waverly bridge bus stop which is where the airport transfer bus stops. I dragged my baggage to the Guest House which took slightly over half an hour. Was rather taken aback when shown to... more

My friend and I recently did some traveling around the United Kingdom and we stayed at the Smith's Guest House in Edinburgh. It was an ok guest house. We were in a small but clean room on the third floor (the stairway is small so it's hard to get your bags up the stairs) but the owner Neil was helpful.... more
