很棒的一間B&B旅館。外觀很低調，店裡的工作人員很熱情，説這是一幢有三百年歷史的Georgian townhouse了。裝修風格是真的有那味了，樓裏也很安靜，住得特別很舒服，早餐也很可口，往鬧市區的公交也不少，旅館門口就有得坐。

I was up on the 2nd floor so had to go up a lot of stairs with my heavy suitcase. The shower didn't function well. The water was either very hot or very cold.

Sorry that there was no elevator, but because it is an historical property, it can not be installed. Staff was wonderful and breakfast and the room it was served was beautiful. Well worth the money if you can do 47 steps to the top floor. Were in our late 70’s and we did it!!!! Great spot and great people running it.

Just had a lovely three night stay, a recent 70th birthday gift for my husband. Very comfortable room, quite cosy. Stayed in room 11, which was on suite and faced on to the garden area which was nice and quiet. Only downfall was it's a fair climb to the top, as on the top floor. So bear in mind if you have poor mobility, as couldn't see a lift. Breakfast was nice and adequate. Plenty of choice. The waitress were all very friendly and helpful. Journey in to the city couldn't be easier. Directly across the road runs several buses, we used to check with the driver anyway, Princess St is nearest to the attractions. Fantastic Christmas market, buildings all lit up nicely too. Great atmosphere. All in all a good trip. Dec 2024

Dated but very clean & perfect for overnight stay
A very honest Guesthouse. Doesn’t try to be anything but a pleasant overnight stay. Rooms are dated but facilities are very clean and accessible. Breakfast was very good with excellent service

Great Guest House - Clean & Warm Room
The room was very spacious and clean. It seemed as it was recently refurbished.
They were really accommodating and provided us with a packed breakfast as we had an early tour one day and couldn´t stay for breakfast.
The buffet breakfast was good and freshly made.
The guest house is very well communicated, it is about 30 min walk from the city centre but has restaurants 10 minutes away. Also the bus stop is right opposite the house.
There was barely face to face service and the man I spoke to wasn´t very welcoming, but other than that it was a pleasant stay and I would recommend this place if you are visiting Edinburgh.
