Located in a beautiful neighbourhood of Edinburgh. Big, private room. We had to leave early for breakfast and had to find our way in the kitchen to find something to eat as it wasn't "open" yet.

Nice room, sumptuous breakfast. However, the room heating was inadequate. Inspire of me fixing the thermostat on second night as per my requirements, woke up in morning in a chilly room and found out that someone else had re-adjusted thermostat (which was outside room) to previous setting. It was very very cold and I somehow managed with all the blankets in the room. Very much uncomfortable, and disappointing.

The big problem with our room was lack of space.It would not have been such a problem if there was not a set of stairs inside the room which occupied valuable space in such a small room.As Edinburgh regulars for the past 12 years this was by far the pokiest room we have ever stayed in.As we only stayed 3 nights we decided to just grin and bare it.In the set of pictures of the rooms picture number 4 and 11 are the two pictures which conveiniantly eliminate the stairs.Two adults can not walk around at the same time it is that small,basically a childrens bedroom with a double bed,kids wardrobe with a tv stuck on top.Also the springs of the mattress could be felt through,doesnt cost a lot for a mattress.Make sure if you book this b and b room 3 is the size of a kids room .Travelodge next for us.

The staff where very helpful in providing local information. I emailed the accommodation to request gluten free options for breakfast but this was not a acknowledged. The facilities in the room needed much improvement, the duvet was very worn and needed replacing and the curtains where stained. The room we stayed in required modernisation. The location of the property was good, but unfortunately we wouldn’t return unless it was given a make over.

Liked breakfast. Mattress way too thin and beds way too low. No clean towels till we called for them after 2 days. Tiny tube tv with no on/off remote. Had to get up to turn tv off. Makeshift bathroom with tiny shower. Light in bathroom and light over bed did not work. Asked for our money back , but owner was only willing to give us 100 pounds, equivalent to one night on a 6 night reservation. Called Expedia and called my credit card company, but the money had already been paid out and there was little they could do.

Owner and staff very pleasing and hospitality was excellent. There are many stairs to get to rooms so if any visitor has mobility concerns this could be a challenge. It would of been nice to have had an area to sit and visit outside of rooms (not suitable for socializing) to chat, play games and relax.

Reasonable rate and setting.
Quiet setting. A little far from center of town but reasonable taxi ride. Room was a little difficult as there were stairs to get down into it from the door and it was awkward trying to open door and not fall down stairs that led up to door from outside.

WeArrived earlier than expected, suffering from jet lag. We were delighted when staff greeted us warmly and showed us to our room which was already waiting! Our third level room would be best described as cozy. The shared washroom was next door. Although small, it was comfortable and clean. Staff were very pleasant and we enjoyed visiting with Sarah while she prepared our breakfast. Our morning breakfast offerings included fresh pastries, juice, tea or coffee as well as an excellent cooked breakfast with choices of eggs, bacon, sausage, tomato and mushrooms. If we had a downside it would be the stairs to our third floor room. The spiral stair case has 22 steps to each level. Characteristic to the era of the house it was pretty but a major hurdle to anyone who may have mobility issues.

Good location and staff but outdated interior
The room had 3 beds and is situated on the top floor. It was a dark room but ok. The bed was good. The bathroom has to be shared with 2 more rooms and it is small and outdated and not very clean, although the staff is working hard for the hours they get. It is just outdated and therefore not very clean. Breakfast was ok, the staff really helpful. You can walk in 15 min to the centre or take a bus (there are many).

Not great not horrible.
Comfortable enough. I have stayed in better and worse places. Clean but the beds are old and not the most comfortable but I slept in then for a week with not too many issues, the water pressure in the shower is not very good but it works. It’s an old building so finding anywhere to plug things in was difficult. They don’t give you extra toilet paper or towels unless you ask.The breakfast is just passable at least you don’t have to pay extra to eat but it’s nothing to get excited about. Decent location close to many bus stops which is nice.

Bad water pressure for plumbing so toilet rarely flushed. Only two toilets for whole building and they're in same rooms as showers. Room was an attic store room with a sloped ceiling so couldn't stand straight except near door. Also room had a skylight and no openable windows, so when sunny it's hot.

Adequate
Good location it was a 20 minute walk to the centre but we enjoy walking so it wasn't a problem and there is also a direct bus route. Staff could be more friendly, apart from Peter the owner who was lovely the rest of the staff could barely manage a good morning and on our last day breakfast had been pre cooked, eggs were like rubber and toast like cardboard. We had an en suite room which was lovely but the portable TV could do with being replaced and it could also do with curtains as the room wasn't dark enough even in the middle of the night. All in all the stay was adequate

It is what it is i.e. an inner city motel at a good rate. I was what I expected. If you want more than very goods basics in a small room, then you should go elsewhere.
