A pleasant and comfortable stay.
It's a little away from the city centre, about 25 minutes on foot, and I walked most days. The bus stop is right outside if you don't want to walk and buses run frequently so no problem there. The bathroom was small but clean and people were quiet helpful. No lifts, but they'll give you a hand with the luggage if you ask. They don't serve breakfast but there are plenty of shops nearby. I was a solo female traveller and sometimes left very early in the morning when it still dark and nobody was about, and i felt quite safe. All in all, no complaints, Edinburgh hotels are expensive and this place was good at the price.

stay satisfactory, almost everything as expected
- Rooms were small as expected, bathroom even smaller (for some people definitely too small. - the location is excellent, to the Royal Mile 10 minutes by bus, 25 on foot . The landlord was very friendly, helpful and had good suggestions for activities, restaurants, etc. - parking on the ground available, not free - too expensive compared to other guest houses in the immediate vicinity

Functional stay.
Not great. Overpriced but possibly inflated due to events that were happening. Should have been about half what I paid. Not much more than a boarding house.
Sold as en-suite, shower was in room (tiny!) but toilet across the hall.
Steep stairs, I was on the 3rd floor.
Shared bathroom for some rooms.
Dated.

Nice room in guest house
We had a room that looked out over the main road. It gets a little stuffy at night, so we had to open the windows. This made it rather noisy, but otherwise it's a good place to stay. It's clean, comfortable, and walking distance from most things.

Very good location, easy access to transportation, area safe and walkable. Would like to have had a shelf in the shower to hold shampoo/soap, etc. A chair in the room would have been nice.
