10/10 Exceptional

Good place to stay!

The check in and out was very handy no issues. The room was clean and very comfortable and had everything you needed. In a great location with a bus stop into town literally right across the road- the hosts were on site if needed!
Kimberly, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

The guest house was great for what i needed. Location was perfect - lots of buses that stop right outside and take you directly up to the city centre, but also easily walkable as well. The guest house is also close to the start of trails for Arthur’s Seat. It was very easy to check in and check out, and the guest house was super clean.

Had an excellent 4days 3 night

We had a great time staying here. It was clean, there were freebies like teas, coffee, shampoo and conditioner.. There towels and blow dryer as well and water heater. There were nice and accommodating I highly recommend it.. Also, they allowed us to leave out luggages for awhile after our check out time to enjoy the rest of the day.

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.
Ryan, 4-night trip
