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 #### Haopeng 12 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Cozy guest house with convinient transportation access! ##### Haopeng Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Catherine 15 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities Good: handy location, spacious room and spotlessly clean. Staff member I saw was very friendly and helpful Bad: slightly shabby decor in places. Also expensive but that seems to be the norm for Edinburgh - definitely pricier than previous visits to the city. ##### Catherine Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mark 24 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Lovely comfortable, spacious room. Lots of really great coffee spots nearby and some amazing food options without the tourist tax of the city centre. I will definitely stay again next time we're up. ##### Mark Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Brian 14 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort #### Southside B&B Comfortable room, but we had a room at the front of the building and lots of traffic noise. ##### Brian Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elise 2 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Very pleasant! ##### Elise Stayed 1 night in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Su juan 6 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This property was great.

Will definitely book again next time I visit Edinburgh. ##### Peter Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Berenice 20 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Staff were very friendly and the location was great. A short bus ride into central Edinburgh and reasonable fares. The guest house was a little run down, but very clean and charming. our room was at the front of the guest house and i was expecting traffic noise, but it was very quiet and we had a good nights sleep. ##### Berenice Stayed 1 night in Jun 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 14 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort Too expensive, impression was possibly a two-star place with hard beds, noisy rooms and sloppy painted / decorated. Breakfast could at least be included. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Jeroen 28 Mar 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Sweet little guesthouse in strategic location. Nice and very clean room, albeit a bit noisy. Big bed, soft and comfortable linen, mattrass a bit less comfortable. More than friendly and very helpful staff. Excellent breakfast! Located @ 15min walk from The Royal Mile, and surrounded by lots of restaurants. The one across the street was good! ##### Jeroen Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Sharon 18 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Wonderfully decorated room. Bed could use a new mattress. Very clean and quiet. Finding a parking place was a problem. ##### Sharon Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Hugo 2 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Good breakfast, ample breakfast area. No lift, hard climbing to our first floor room. The room had nowhere to place the clothes. ##### Hugo Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Manjunath 16 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Pleasant stay It was a pleasant stay. Located on a busy road but luckily my room was facing the back of the hotel so it was nice and quiet. There were no reception staff after 6pm but check in instructions were sent to me which was straight forward. The kettle was not in a good condition, I didn’t use it. There was no heating in the room but I was provided with a small portable electric heater which did the job. It would struggle to heat up the room in winter months especially December onwards. There are few good restaurants nearby. ##### Manjunath Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 24 Jun 2023 Liked: Staff & service #### Disappointing stay The host was friendly and nice. We were placed on the ground floor. The room is a bit run down and smells musky. One of the bedside lamp doesn’t work. We got back after 10pm, there is no hot water from the sink tap. The bottom part of the sink was detached. There’s no sound proof whatsoever we could hear everything and everyone from outside. Now I would accept all of these, but I paid £160 so I am very disappointed. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jun 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Emma 31 Oct 2025 Room spotless, lovely decoration.

Beautiful old property just needs a little refresh. ##### Catherine Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Janette 14 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort #### No staff about but sort of worked Useful location but on arrival no one there and had to call to get access. Not very welcoming. High degree of utility. Nice artworks. Didn’t see any staff at all when I left so went on my way leaving the key as indicated in a glass jar ##### Janette Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Carlos 29 Dec 2024 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Muy agradable y comodo lugar, es pequeño pero ideal para moverse en Edimburgo, SOLO SI LES RECOMIENDO CONTACTAR PREVIAMENTE AL PROPIETARIO PARA QUE OBTENGAN SU CLAVE DE ACCESO ##### Carlos Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Anne 25 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Goede locatie Locatie ligt net buiten het drukke centrum, 25 minuutjes lopen of met de bus (meerdere busverbindingen).
