What an amazing stay. Sylvia and Lukas were so wonderful and went above and beyond to make sure my stay was relaxing and enjoyable. As a solo traveller it’s always a concern finding safe comfortable accomodation. 4 friends delivered beyond expectation. Room was gorgeous. Bed super comfy. Highly recommend this wonderful guest house. Convenient location with buses at doorstep.

The location was really comfortable and spotlessly clean! There is a bus stop right outside with easy access to the town center and all activities. I really liked it there a lot and will certainly stay there again whenever I am in Edinburgh again. Moreover, the people who run this location are so very helpful and kind, it feels like you are visiting family!

I can’t say enough good things about this place. The staff were so incredibly friendly, it was easily accessible from the city centre by the number 7, 14 or 11 buses and it’s quiet. The bed was super comfy and all other amenities were excellent. I was pretty jet lagged so I appreciated coming to this quiet area and resting. Thank you for everything and I will for sure be back!

My room was quite small, but the bed was good. WiFi was good, the shared bathroom (for 3 rooms) is new, very spacious, very clean (as is the room), the staff is very friendly. If you only need a place to stay overnight, it's ok.

This is a well run and maintained establishment with good facilities. It is on good bus lines into the CBD and there is a local market right across the street. There is free street parking which does fill up by 8pm but even after that there is street parking to be found within a block or two.

It’s brand new - only open two days when I stayed! The ‘4 friends’ were very attentive, friendly and helpful. Hopefully, they will make a great success of their venture.

Me and my sisters stayed here and had a lovely stay. Pros: very affordable, feels safe, friendly staff, great water pressure in the shower, and close to the bus stop, restaurants, and a local grocery store. Cons: not super comfy beds, small room, and lots of narrow stairs to get to the top floor. We stayed here because of the price. It was what we needed at the time, just a safe place to rest our heads as we were out exploring Edinburgh all day and didn't intend to spend much time on our room.

The team were great at communicating with me including ensuring I’d be there prior to the desk closing and directions from Waverley. I stayed in a room with an en suite which was nice to have. While bus makes it easy (7/14) to get to town centre the tram is a longer way as you need to walk about 18 mins from/to the stop.
