This B&B has been closed for 3 years.I travelled from N.Ireland for a concert in Edinburgh to find the property in a disused state.I then had to find alternative accommodation during a very busy rugby weekend at very great expense. I ended up staying at a city centre hotel costing over £200 for my one night stay. Definitely not happy !!

They were super friendly and accommodating. Part of town was quiet and maybe a bit underwhelming but we liked the B & B very much.

Mukava, kodikas ja siisti B&B. Hyvät liikenneyhteydet keskustaan sekä lentokentälle. Palvelu oli ystävällistä. Aamiainen tosi herkullinen ja perinteinen.

Excellent little B&B with excellent service from the freindly proprietor. Regular city centre bus links outside.

Disappointing! Bizarre check in as the poor lady was obviously sick and they should have looked after her and got a replacement for her. No Guest book to sign in . Told full .... not shown facilities and left to own devices, given a key though so good. I was phoned later on my mobile in that same evening by a gentleman to see if we were on premises. Lucky we had family to be with till we returned there later. First morning breakfast provided but wondered if we felt inconvenience as only guests there. Second morning they forgot about us. We were told to go and buy breakfast outside . The poor sick lady had not been relieved and she told us she may need to go to hospital though she did give us an apology .The next day it changed as two other guests were inthe building so they provided breakfast then it was bit better. Room nice . Though they should say if they can’t cope with single guests in Winter . I chose this location as in E17 and thought it looked good on Reviews. Will definitely book Travel Lodge next time. Sorry!!!

A lovely quaint bnb. Breakfast was amazing...there is a bus right outside. Supermarket next door, a pub diagonally over the road and pizza not much further. Our host was lovely and helpful with local knowledge.

We were greeted by the landlady announcing that the price on the confirmation had been entered incorrectly and should be higher by 45 GBP. We told her that as pensioners we would pay what was on the booking confirmation, She then said some people agreed to pay 30GBP more. We stuck to the agreed amount. She was quite rude the next morning, shaking a finger at us and commenting she gives good value for the money. We felt quite uncomfortable.

Für 1 Nacht ok

Kleines, in die Jahre gekommenes und etwas muffiges Guest-House am Stadtrand von Edi. Leider gab es ohne Vorankündigung kein Frühstück, weil die Maler da waren. Dafür haben wir einen saftigen Preisnachlass bekommen.

Nice guest house

The guest house was perfect for a Rugby trip to Edinburgh. No frills, good breakfast, convenient location on a main bus route.
