    Excellent and particularly good location in Edinburgh, right by a shop and food outlets and a good bus service into the centre of town, and Edinburgh. Plus, minutes away from Ferniehill Community Park.

    Located in a charming little area with music playing softly, this guest house offers easy transport links into town. the bus stop is right across the street, providing direct access to the city center. the rooms are clean and comfortable, and the owner is friendly and welcoming. the breakfast is excellent and caters to different dietary needs, such as gluten-free options. a great place to stay with convenient transportation and top-notch service.

    Limited parking can be a hassle with cars.

    Location: the hotel was right by the Emerald House, a bus stop outside the exit of the adjacent Iceland and shop and food. Also, it had easy access to Gilmerton Cove.

    The rooms at this hotel are individually decorated in a pretty and inviting way, with wonderful puffy pillows and large windows that let in plenty of natural light. The attention to detail is evident, with small touches like tea supplies, shortbread, and cookies provided in the rooms. The hotel is conveniently located right across the street from a bus stop, making it easy to explore the city center.

    Cleaning could be improved, but overall everything was great.

    The cozy guest house was the perfect setting for our romantic escape. the room was clean and comfortable, and the breakfast was tasty and filling. the location was convenient, with easy access to public transportation and nearby attractions.

    The parking situation was not as described on the website and caused some frustration. We also experienced some noise from other guests, which disrupted our sleep at times.

    Good breakfast variety and sizable portions, clean room with regular amenities like fresh towels. The guest house is located near key attractions, making it good for sightseeing enthusiasts. Wifi speed was generally good during our stay, although.

    The room was small and faced the street, meaning there was notable noise from the traffic. The bed was quite loud and creaky, so it wasn't easy to sleep soundly.

    The rooms were clean and tidy with en suites, which was convenient. the breakfast was amazing and kept us going all day. We also appreciated the helpfulness of the staff in providing directions and updates.

    The noise from the nearby bus stop made the room quite noisy, which affected our sleep. the room itself could have been cleaner, especially the bathroom area.

    Located right across the street directly into the city center, this B&B is perfect for exploring. You'll find a bus stop very close by, making it easy to travel around. the charming little area has music playing softly in the background, creating a relaxed atmosphere. Rooms are comfortable and clean with bedding changed every other day and towels daily. Breakfast is fantastic with plenty of choice and good size portions.

    Some guests experienced a poor service from the owners.
