Great location for getting around the city, our room was very dark, with scaffolding outside our window blocking most of the natural light. The shower was very poor, a trickle of water coming out. On the positive side the room was clean, bed was very comfortable and the TV worked. Overall a good place to stay for exploring the city and sleeping for the night. ##### Jake Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer 7 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Lovely convenient location.

Our room downstairs was somewhat lacking fresh air, very small for our luggage and damp. Otherwise a lovely stay. ##### Mark Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carolyn 11 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Quiet and cozy place to stay near the city center of Edinburgh.

Richard was a nice host. The room was quite tidy, but it smelled musty and damp. There was mold growing on the bathroom walls. We got symptoms (stuffiness and cough) caused by this damp indoor air. ##### Milla Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mariya 6 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Really enjoyed our 3 nights stay in the Lantern Guest House. Accommodation is very centrally located within walking distances to main attractions (25-30 mins) and with plenty of dining options around it. Hosts were very responsive and provided all required information for check in. Room was clean and had everything we need for short stay. ##### Mariya Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert 10 Oct 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Secure, quiet, well located, owners trusted us to just get on with things, and are ever just a phone message away. ##### Robert Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Leyla 11 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A great stay! I had a really long weekend nice stay at Lantern Guesthouse! As a solo traveler, room 3 was big enough for me. The room was VERY clean and had everything I needed. The mattress was a bit hard for my liking and there was a dip on one side, but I was able to move over and sleep on the other side. Yes the room was a bit damp but that's just the reality of Scotland - there was a dehumidifier in the room and a heater that cut down the humidity level pretty quickly so I wasn't bothered. A note for other North American travelers: position the shower heater to about 9 o'clock for the perfect temperature! Lantern is conveniently located near multiple bus stops so it was very easy to get around. There were also great restaurants, pubs, and bars in the area. I'd definitely stay here again! ##### Leyla Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David 14 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The Lantern Guest House is a short walk from the main attractions of Edinburgh and very convenient! Also, the rooms are very clean and the owner is super helpful! i will definitely stay at the Lantern Guest House when i return to Edinburgh and I strongly recommend it to anyone visiting Edinburgh!!! ##### David Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Billy 3 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The place was lovely, bed was comfortable and the room was just nice to be at! Richard was great in communicating with us, and was very friendly and thoughtful. :) ##### Billy Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert 28 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great Place and Great Location Clean, comfortable, and spacious room. Great location as well. Right around the corner are many restaurants and cafes. Every morning I went to KUNA for excellent coffee and savory pastries. They also have sweets. The one thing you should know about the room is that the steps leading down to the room are steep. ##### Robert Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### ALEXANDRA 25 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities A great location, the room was nice and came with a fridge. The host was also responsive and helpful. The only thing I didn't love was that since the room was in a "basement" it did smell a little damp. ##### ALEXANDRA ### 8/10 Good #### Michael 22 May 2023 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The staff was friendly. The shower was small, making it difficult to shave my legs ##### Michael Stayed 3 nights in May 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Simon 24 Aug 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Damp and over priced! Room smells of damp - there’s a reason why there’s a dehumidifier plugged in 24/7\. Room and bathroom need updating with mould on the tile grout. Shower is very tight - curtain smelling of damp. Only one small liquid soap for two of us over a three night stay. Unable to open the window and loads of electric adapters and wires plugged in. Room was cold as it’s below ground and the plug in heater was no good. Richard is friendly and responsive but £266 per night in August is rip off Britain at its worst…we know it’s the Fringe but not value for money given the state of the room. Avoid. ##### Simon Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### kathy 11 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities This is a rowhouse type of housintypical of the city.our room was small with a bath..truth is we were gone q2 hours a day. Bus at corner could walk to old town and lots of little restaurants around fit the bill for us..clean and well located and safe neighorhood ##### kathy Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### makini 30 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities While I liked a lot about the property, one thing that not enough hotels and guest stays offer is multiple outlets/surge protectors. At Guest Lantern there were at least four surge protectors in my room. It seems like a small thing but it matters and made my stay easier. Of note, the upstairs family has young kiddos who run/jump \~7-9am, so holiday sleep ins aren't possible, if that's something you're into. ##### makini Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Holly 3 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great Stay - You'll like this one! We loved our stay at the Lantern Inn Guest House! It was only 10 minutes from the bus station and 12 from Waverly Railway station, without a bunch of confusing turns. There are many places to eat within a block, and we found a 'favorite restaurant': Mama Roma. The room was so nice, clean, and roomy; and we loved the ensuite bathroom. We were very comfortable there. A small refrigerator was dedicated to our use, with cold water and milk supplied! There was a microwave available and even some dishes we could use. We didn't have those any other place we stayed so it was a great surprise. Richard, our host, was very friendly and anxious to help us. He gave good instructions and always seemed to be around when we had a question. We stayed 4 nights and would have been happy to be there longer if our plans had allowed. With such a good price, great features, comfortable room, and convenient location, we couldn't have done any better. I would definitely choose Lantern Guest House again if I return to Edinburgh. ##### Holly Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Mary 9 Jul 2024 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities The location of the property was fantastic. Close to town, shops, restaurants, and tourist locations. The owner represented the property accordingly in photos and did say it was a basement unit. Unfortunately, the room was extremely small with no room for luggage. Very musty smell and bathroom had mold on ceiling and tiles in shower. The comforter was not even long enough to reach to the bottom of the top mattress. Luckily, there was a wool blanket in the cabinet. A proper size comforter would be helpful. Taylor Swift had just left town and I feel that the price of the room was very overpriced for the first two days we were there. Room price Mon, Jun 10 £207.50 Tue, Jun 11 £207.50 Wed, Jun 12 £108.33 Taxes £104.67 With a little more attention to detail, this location could be a great spot for a stay. ##### Mary Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sarah 29 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We greatly enjoyed our stay at lantern guest house. The hosts were very kind and gave us some guide pamphlets to help us find our way around the city. The location was convenient and very walkable! Thank you so much for the lovely stay! ##### Sarah Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 25 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Konaklamamız gayet güzel geçti, Richard cok yardımsever biriydi.
