Edinburgh Holiday Guest House

I cannot fault this location at all. It's fairly central to the city and I was able to access bus routes and other means of transportation. Duncan and Mei were just fabulous, there's no beating about with that. Duncan was available night and day for any queries a person might have had and was kind enough to rectify any issues. I made an enquiry on the morning of my second stay about decaffeinated tea and these were arranged for breakfast the following morning. My room was clean, smelt fresh and my bin was emptied every day. Everything was as described. The property is old, by that I mean it is in an older area of the city, so there are small cracks in the masonry but this wouldn't affect you at all and it did not affect me in the slightest. Bed was cosy, sheets clean. I paid £10 to upgrade to a better room from a single to a double with private bathroom and this paid off well for me. The extra privacy enhanced my comfortability. There was a lot of availability for items at breakfast, juices, water, tea, coffee... With some cereals, toast, jams, and yoghurt. You also get a hot option, and Mei was kind enough to remove the meat from mine. Every morning, when I came down, she ensured I wanted the same thing. On the first morning of my stay she was kind enough to chat to me for some time and give recommendations on where to go in the city. Duncan also identified the best bus routes for my stay. Duncan and Mei, you were amazing

Great location; friendly host; great communication/updates/directions: good security when entering the building; clean room; upgraded bathroom; with English breakfast - yogurt appreciated!

The House is located very close to the Old Town of Edinburgh! You could either walk a couple of kilometres (which is what we mostly did) or you can take one of the buses, and in 4 stops you're there! There are definitely more than 5 different buses that stop near this guest house and take you to the centre of the Old Town, so you don't need to wait more than 5 minutes. The owner is friendly and has a sweet dog! The room is nice and we appreciated the en-suite bathroom!

Lots to like: the room was spacious, homely, clean, comfortable, and warm. It was large triple room with a bathtub so ideal for a couple or family as well as the solo traveller seeking some well-earned rest. View out the back over gardens made me forget I was just outside the city centre. Staff were helpful and friendly. Breakfast was fairly standard fare but had a good little selection of cereal, toast, etc. and fry up options could be made to order. Easy check-in with pass code.

The place looks old from outside but when you come in, it’s quite nice and homey. We checked in Room 2 with private bathroom just outside the room. Self-check in was easy and convenient. The room is of decent size with a a double bed and a single bed, work table and chair, hair dryer, tea and coffee facilities and clothes hangers. The private bathroom is clean with good water pressure on the shower. There’s enough toilet paper rolls and shower gel sachets for an overnight stay and nice absorbent towels as well. You get your money’s worth with the breakfast that’s included cos it’s a freshly cooked english breakfast along with the usual cereals and toast, etc. unlike other hostels in the same price range.
