What a lovely guest house! Couldn’t have asked for more. Rooms were immaculate, bright and light! The location was perfect and the price fantastic. We stayed on the Easter weekend and everywhere was a fortune and this place saved the day. It’s only a two minute walk to leith walk, with shops and restaurants and bars. Then another 5-10 minutes walk up to princes street, if you can’t walk that the trams stop all the way along. This is an ideal place to stay for exploring Edinburgh. We will definitely be back!

Nice place and budget friendly!

We had a great stay, reception staff was very attentive to our needs. Place was clean, and we had quiet nights. Would stay there again. Breakfast was offered but we didn’t expect it to be. Price was right for our budget and that’s what was important to us.
