My friend and I stayed one night during the festival, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. I couldn't fault the staff, rooms or service. The breakfast was excellent, and at the time I am sure it was fully booked. I have recommended it to friends and family too. It is right next door to the bus station, and ideally situated... more

We read all comments on the Guesthouse and were not surprised. But in my reservation I clearly mentioned to want their most quiet room, which they agreed. But it turned out that the guesthouse was full and we had to take a room facing the bussy street. Windows are very old, so it is pretty noisy in the room. Also... more

Can't beat the location. It was right next door to the bus station and 10 minutes walk to the train station, the Royal Mile and lots of pubs and restaurants. But it comes at a price. The street and traffic noise was very high (think rush hour on a busy downtown street) and continued until 1:00 am, even on weekday... more

As I was planning a car free weekend, I wanted to find a guest house as close to the city cente as possible. The Elder York's location didn't let me down, next to the bus station, 5 minutes walk to Waverley train station and more important for my weekend only 250 yards to George Street where all the Bars, Clubs... more

You have to be in good shape, because you will be lugging your suit cases up 3 to 4 flights of stairs, and the room we stayed in didn't have much of a view. But for the price and location to the city, you can't beat it. The service was very nice. They even offered to do my laundry for... more

Good value for those on a tight budget, very central so most tourist attractions walkable. Needs refurbishment and replacement of furniture in bedrooms as a bit shabby in some areas. Bedrooms also need a deep clean/good vacuuming as we got the impression that with such a quick turnaround the cleaning was not first on list of jobs. The worst thing... more

I stayed here for two nights, and had expected it to be a warm, welcoming B&B but the place felt more like a hotel rather than a B&B. Location wise it was prefect, within walking distance to everything. Breakfast was so-so, but i've had much better at other B&B's. Our room was fine but the bathroom smelled a little...it might... more

We chose this guest house due to it being closed to the Waverley train station and also the coach station right next door. What we discovered when we arrived is a wonderful guest house with the most helpful host and staff! Location is absolutely convenient. With a shopping centre within minutes walk, plenty of pubs and restaurants around. Royal Mile... more

Elder York is in a v good location, about 30 seconds from bus station. As mentioned, it is on 3rd and 4th floors without a lift so this may put some people off. It is spotlessly clean, provided v good breakfast, nice staff and nice little touches - def recommended unless you have mobility problems more
