While the room was pleasant & comfortable, the guest house itself felt abandoned. For my entire 3 night stay I never saw anyone staffing the front desk, the restaurant looked shuttered & it appeared as if no one was in charge. ##### Leslie A Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gail 15 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We only stayed one night in a small double room at this property, but the room was quite adequate and the bathroom was especially wonderful--great shower, good lighting, recently remodeled. It is also located in a nice neighborhood, with several good restaurants and coffee shops close-by, and a reasonable walk (about a mile) to the Royal Mile. ##### Gail Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Catherine 28 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We stayed at this Guesthouse on 2 separate nights.
