Worst guest house ever?
I would suggest that you take this "hotel" off your books. There was no-one there to book in - we had a key safe entry. The telephone numbers given didn't work. The room was dirty. I even checked to see if there were any bed bugs - there weren't! Bits of the fake leather headboard had worn off and had fallen into the bed. The paper was peeling off the walls due to damp, and in the wardrobe there was an "external" foul water pipe which at some time had been leaking and patched up with gaffa tape- stains all around it. The radiator next to the toilet was stained - there was mould in the shower. We were in room 1. We had paid for breakfast, but there was a note saying the dining room and kitchen was closed for maintenance. I had a look in and it was all right - perhaps the owners couldn't be bothered to open it during the Christmas period. So instead there was a bag containing two bottles of water, 2 dried up pastries, a rolled up crepe - dry again and a handful of sweets. The pictures are not what the rooms look like!
This is what breakfast was! - for 2
Kitchen that was meant to be closed for maintenance.
Dining room - not being used- supposedly get maintained

OK for a bed for the night.
price included breakfast, which was not in the dining room. A bag of pastries,sweets and water was left in our room to "enjoy". So breakfast in name only. Room was scruffy, and not very clean, but warm and quiet, but pretty small. Beds OK, and TV OK. Plenty of room to park car.

Great location-average accommodation
Location was excellent with good bus connections to Edinburgh. The accommodation was comfortable enough although the TV screen was very small with a poor picture. Wallpaper was peeling from the walls which detracted from the ambience. Also the fsct that there was seldom someone on the property was not good.

Liked: Staff & service, amenities
Room was very small but comfortable. The beds were clean but the room could have been a bit cleaner. There was a shade that was not up that was against wall and had cob webs around bottom of it. The staff was very friendly and the morning breakfast itself and the breakfast area was very nice indeed! Over all, decent place to rest your head for night!

Lovely staff but room quite basic
Staff were nice but I would say it was very overpriced for the room itself, the bathroom smelt like damp and there was mould in the shower, I also wasn’t given a towel in my room. Nice addition to offer a continental breakfast.

Probably the worst accommodation we have stayed in
This was one of the worse places we have stayed in the UK. It is an absolute disgrace that the owners are able to advertise this Guest House as a place to stay in Edinburgh and take guests hard earned money for such a awful place. The state of the room and accommodation as a whole was worse than basic places I have stayed at in the developing world including Africa, Asia and South America. Conditions included: peeling wallpaper, damp and mouldy outside wall, stained and worn carpets, mattress that was so old and in such a bad state i could feel the springs through the sheets and got little sleep, pillows that were flat and hard, room so small there was nowhere to put a small bag or toiletries , TV that was tiny and didnt work because of such poor aerial reception, smell of damp so we had to have a window open all the time which meant we heard the traffic on the main road outside constantly and no one to speak to at the property to pass on our concerns!
