Large room in a relatively quieter street just a short walk away from bus stops and multiple travel options.
Room maintenance could have been better and bathroom was very basic.

The owner is very nice, the location was good for us(we used the bus every day). You can even walk to the center city, but it will take around 25-30 minutes.
The room was very old, the mattress wasn't one of the most comfortable.
The bathroom was very outdated, the hot water came from some instant electric heater(nevertheless, we had hot water all the time)
I don't know what is the UK standard, but according to the European standard this one is under 7 for the money paid(almost 400€ for 3 nights)
I could have had better options if I would have booked something in the last week before our trip(4 stats hotel for the same money, in a better location)

It was very clean and comfy, a bit old but that is not a problem at all (I actually like it!). Great location, I walked everyday from there to the city (about 20-30 mins), but they also have bus stops nearby, which I used for going to the zoo and the airport. There are many cafés and restaurants around. And the host was very friendly :)
I had the upper room where there is also a toilet that people from other rooms can use, and I could hear the people when using the toilet (which is not very pleasant). But this is because the house is old and it is actually just a detail.

Close to main bus line
Needed work, upgrading, a little deeper cleaning. The tv controller was so grossly dirty, I never turned on the tv.

Fine place to spend a few days. Very quiet and comfy.
More bathroom samples and it would have been perfect (shampoo samples specifically).

I travelled with my mom. We both liked it a lot. The house is nice and the rooms have everything we needed (realistically, we would only be in the room to sleep). Beds were comfortable, the room had just the right temperature, and the bathroom, although small, was not an issue whatsoever. The location was great too. We walked a couple of times into town but mainly took the bus, which was quite easy as pretty much 6-7 buses that passed by often were useful. Overall, our stay was really good and we would recommend it to anyone who is thinking of visiting Edinburgh
Genuinely, no complaints

An absolutely lovely B&B in Elgin. The hosts are kind and attentive and easy to chat with. Our room was comfortable, clean, and quiet. The location is about a 10 minute walk from the center, but we selected it for its convienence and free parking. Breaksfasts were an absolutely wonderful start to the day. Overall, a great value for the money charged and a very enjoyable stay.

Nice and quiet place, comfortable bed, very friendly and helpful owner (he stored my luggage and called a private hire car for airport as it was cheaper than Uber). I'd definitely book again.
Location is not next to the city center and the tourist attractions. If it is not raining and you do not have issues with walking then it is nice 25 min stroll, so I was ok with the location but your mileage may vary. There are plenty of buses travelling by the next street.
The room was fairly small, but that seems to be standard for guest houses in Scotland.
No breakfast available, but there are cafes nearby.

Spacious room. Friendly hosts. Excellent location (walking distance to Edinburgh downtown). No breakfast but very nice cafe across the street. A small fridge in the room would be nice.
Rather expensive - poor VfM

It was clean, comfortable and quiet. They fit everything I needed into a compact space. It included a cute compact en suite toilet, sink and shower. This was in a quiet neighborhood just a short bus ride from the center of town; or about a 30-40 minute walk.
The room I stayed in was pretty small and not really enough room to open up the suitcase without it being in the way.

The room was small but clean and well appointed.
I think it would be good to take out some of the furniture in the room so there would be more room to move about.

A beautiful old place in one of the most quiet streets of Edinburgh - the room had everything I needed, and was a great place to relax after a long day walking around the city. Separate thanks to the host which was very helpful at all times:)
The place is a bit old, as were the appliances (which, mind you, were all in working condition) - at one point I had to google how to use the shower head which was about my age:) A small refresh of the room would be great I think
Thank you for your information!
