    “Great location and nice place to stay”

    It's a guest house located very centrally in Edinburgh, just 10 mmin walk from the station. Few bus routs next to it so if you prefer not walking uphill take the bus. We had a family room booked, it was spacious with 3 beds and a sofa. Kettle was available, as well as assortment of teas and cookies. The lady who met us was very nice and attentive she showed us the room and allowed us to store out bike overnight as the lock got broken. Very reasonably priced for location and room size/comfort. Bed mattress was comfortable. Recommended

    Super highly recommended! Great location, very beautiful and very clean room with super warm and helpful staff. The owner, Jas was very accomodating, helpful as well and will make you feel very safe especially for a female solo traveler. Will definitely stay here again when I visit Edinburgh - I will not have any other options. You may also look at the Atlas House, it’s the same complex.
