Nice, airy room with large windows and a pretty good view, nice staff, lots of restaurants nearby (I would recommend the meze place) bus stop right outside, and Arthur's seat is just next door if you are up for a bit of a hike. Would recommend taking the bus if you arrive at the train station, it is quite a walk.

Basic, wasn't expecting the Ritz knowing what I paid but very small room. If you had the shower too warm it felt like being in a sauna, for someone of my size (6ft 4) the bed was slightly too small and the bathroom was very tight to move in and out of

Good place to stay!

The guest house was great for what i needed. Location was perfect - lots of buses that stop right outside and take you directly up to the city centre, but also easily walkable as well. The guest house is also close to the start of trails for Arthur’s Seat. It was very easy to check in and check out, and the guest house was super clean.
