Having just returned from our stay at the MW Guesthouse, we will definetly be returning in the summer months!
You couldn't ask for a better place to stay. Ideally situated about 10-15 mins by bus outside the city centre (easily walkable if you're energetic!) with easy access to buses to princes street (right outside the guesthouse).
Very helpful staff, lovely breakfast in the mornings. The rooms are simple but very comfortable with all you need for your stay.
Book you stay here!!

We have just returned from an excellent 3 night stay at the MW Guesthouse. The place itself is lovely, clean, welcoming, warm and dead easy to find. Although it's about 10 minutes by bus from the city centre, the buses are very frequent and cheap. The walk into town isn't unpleasant, as long as it isnt raining, and if you want to use a taxi, it only cost £4.50.

Our room was nice, large and warm. The bathroom was also spacious and clean. What really made the stay great for me, was the openness and welcoming nature of the owners. They were simply great. If you needed anything from more tea and biscuits to new towels in the room, or local information and recommendations for places to eat and drink or visit, they are always on hand. If you had any problems or concerns, however minor, they were sorted right away.

The previous review says it isn't luxury, which it isnt. But it certainly is a lovely place to stay for the money you pay.

One more thing... the breakfast is excellent, one of the best I've had in any hotel / guesthouse.

We booked the MW after seeing its excellent internet site. Unfortunately, the site showed the property in its very best light, and in the flesh it's a little less impressive.
It's sold as a boutique experience, and everywhere but the room, that's what you get. The hosts are charming, so friendly, and very welcoming. Breakfast is fine, freshly cooked and served in a stylish dining room. Coffee comes in miniature cafetieres, and there are fresh flowers and a personal welcome from the guesthouse's owners.
Our disappointment was primarily with our room. Rather than carrying on the stylish, clean lines of the downstairs, it seemed rather tired, with a stained carpet, flat pillows, and furniture that looked as if it had seen better days. The room itself was large, with a bathroom carved out of a corner. That was also a bit strange _ there was only one towel a person, and they weren't changed during our stay. Only one small bottle of mineral water was in the room (which was obviously a double, as there was two of everything else) and it's this kind of thing that stuck out as less than great.
The location is fine. This is not a guesthouse in the town centre, and that's okay, as the buses seem to run fairly frequently, except on weekends. We ended up using cabs for a lot of outings, which was okay as they were cheap (by London standards) and good.
Overall, the experience was fine, saved by the fantastic welcome of the owners and staff, but if you're looking for a little luxury, this isn't the place.

MW Guesthouse works! It has free parking, it's on the busline into the city, the rooms were good, the bathrooms were great and they were in each room, the computer worked, the breakfast worked, the staff worked. When you are driving and traveling to a different city each day, it makes a big difference for everything to be as the website says. This place is it.
