Clean and nice!
Easy to access, bustop right outside. It took 25 min to Edinburgh by bus. Our room (with private bathroom) was clean and nice. It was kind of thin walls though, we could all hear each other. We were only there for 3 nights, but we would recommend it!

Overpriced and underwhelming
Overpriced and underwhelming, small room had problems locking doors. No parking available on-site only 3 parks for 20 rooms and needed to park on street. Noise from other rooms consistently both next door and above us. Breakfast room was storage room for extra bedding and not inviting and their was no breakfast available.

It is charming in some ways but the service was minimal.
Because it is fat from the center of town, the inn might take this into consideration in its breakfast options.
Only dry cereal, and no bowls or spoons visible.
No coffee, just instant powder in the room. Only black tea, no herbal alternative.
Also, there was none in hand to greet guests or assist them.
It has some lovely potential but could use an upgrade in hospitality.

It would have been nice to have a proper stand up shower. The bed was comfortable & the breeze through the windows made for a refreshing night’s sleep.

As usual for Edinburg Guest houses, the value for money was rather poor. Pros: spacious room, good beds, everything was clean. Cons: no parking space as stated in the booking, no breakfast (!!!), the bathroom was designed for disabled people, so the sink was much to low; teeth brushing wasn't possible for "normal"people.

Modern room
Host friendly when we arrived. No parking - only had 3 cars on front. Could park our car for free across the road. Believe was a school car park. We entered the building from a side door to the new part of the building. On entrance was tea/coffee making facilities for all of the room (think 6 rooms?)Room new, modern and well decorated including bathroom. Room (20) not huge but adequate for 2 nights. Was at the front of the building so had to shut the window in the early hours because of traffic noise. Bus stop very close and easy to get into Edinburgh. I would book again.

Don’t do it
I won’t stay there or recommend it to anyone. The noise from adjoining rooms, common area and outside was frustrating,
The room was small and no room for cases
The TV only had movie streaming, no tv channels
There was not enough car parking for the rooms and relied on stack parking who’s is not functional

Good for the price
The stay was suitable for our trip, the room was clean. The only thing I would like to add is that the facilities just need adjusting e.g more toiletries to be offered, and things like a iron to be added downstairs if you did need them, and the door slams so maybe a clasp or something to be added to make it quieter for other guests.

Good value
Very good location for the price, not too far from the city center. Close to Portobello Beach. Clean. Nice bigh bathroom with a bathtub, not in the room as stated in the booking, which I did not mind as I only stayed one night. Would come back.

Room 6 compares more to a broom cupboard than a small room. One electric socket, no working heating except the last evening of our stay, light was provided by a naked light bulb. The so called bathroom has no heating at all. It all felt very uncomfortable and not inviting.

The owner of this place is amazing. I had an issue with the car rental company and he offered to help which he didn't have to but was greatly appreciated. The room was immaculate. The bathroom, which is important to me was very clean as well. The city is right around the corner. There's a bus that takes you directly there. The parking is a little tricky but it wasn't anything that was too bad. I really recommend this place to anyone who travels to Edinburgh. It's close enough to the city but not in the hectic part of the city

Clean and fresh no frills accommodation
Comfortable beds, very clean and freshly decorated. We were in the modern extension and there was real lack of soundproofing as we could hear our neighbours chatting etc. No one onsite which meant we didn't feel like we could ask for extra pillows when we realised in the evening that there was only one on one of the beds and we felt it too late to ask. Initially no hairdryer in room or tv remote control, staff were on site at the time dealing with check-ins and quickly rectified this but we later found remote was for a different make so tv still didn't work. Shared tea and coffee facilities (not in room) but downstairs and no teabags left on evening we arrived also no sink down there to fill kettle. Very limited parking but lots of places to park for free in surrounding side streets. Overall the place was clean and freshly decorated, the beds comfy and bathroom fresh and modern so for a night it was absolutely fine.
