My boyfriend and I spent two nights there and the owner was friendly when we walked in. After looking about the room we saw that the shower door was broken so we had to have her fix that. And she did. The bed wasnt very comfortable but after two days of travel we didnt care. The bathroom and the bedroom... More

We were made to feel very welcome from the moment we arrived. The room and bathroom was very clean and the bed so comfortable. Small bathroom with very powerful shower. Good hot cooked breakfast and choice of cereals. Over all a lovely brief stay. More

quite a good position, but except for this, all the rest is really nothing special. tiny room, very standard breakfast, wireless not working, and a very bad smell everywhere (I kept my window open all the time). the owner was not particularly friendly either. basically I think it's way too expensive for what it offers.

Paola made us very welcome. Guest house is clean and tidy. Rooms are small and everything creaks, floor boards, doors, cupboards, etc. It is a good 15/20 minute walk to the heart of Edinburgh through not a nice area.

Enjoyed a long weekend at this guest house. The room was very clean and boy, does Paola do a good breakfast. Access to Princes Street is about a 20 minute walk but there is an excellent bus service. Next time in Edinburgh we will definitely be returning. More

We had a great breakfast to set us up for the day all you could eat real coffee and lurpack butter yum yum. The rooms... More

Wot a place! Paola the owner is such a delight and so accommodating. We needed a change of time for our breakfast as we had an early start and she sorted it no problem. The location is great; nice and quiet with a short walk or bus ride into the city. Rooms were just what you need, clean and comfortable... More
