It was a short 30 minute walk to the City Center in a great area with lots of nice restaurants and coffee shops nearby. The room had beautiful huge windows and the beds were comfortable.

Dusty, 5-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.
