Pleasant
The owner was very pleasant and responsive to our needs. A large size room for two people
I stayed in room #1 Bathroom extremely small. To get to the toilet you had to pass through the space between the sink and the shower which was very tight. No place to put your toilettres down. This is an old building and I understand that challenges of retrofiting a bathroom to create an ensuite but this bathroom would not work for some guests.

It was difficult to find accommodations in Edinburgh that met our needs and price point and this lovely 2 star guest house was a good fit. We were made to feel very welcome.

It's outside of the tourist area which is a great benefit. After a day of the crowded downtown it's very nice to get back to a quiet neighborhood with local restaurants nearby. I highly recommend going to Saint Mary's coffee shop when they open at 8:30, only a few blocks away for a good and fairly priced breakfast. Quiet, wi-fi, good food, nice staff and a good cause. In the other direction from Atlas Guest House are the Botanical Gardens - also a fine place for a respite from the more touristic areas.

The decor was great. The quality of the mattresses was great ,slept like a baby. No noise whatsoever. The hosts were brilliant. They also had stored our bags when we checked in early and checked out too.
We thought we'd get water bottles as well. Can't fault the property otherwise.

Cant believe this doesn’t have 10 stars already, first the location for the value of money you pay is ideal, its literally a walking distance from st james quarter, the cleanliness is spotless, the first thing my mum noticed is the fresh smell and its not just an air perfume you can literally smell and feel the cleanliness. The staff accommodated every request we had since i had an infant and an elderly mum so we needed a little more special care and they provided everything. 10/10 experience. Highly recommend.
Parking but its the centre of Edinburgh so its expected.

This is a beautiful old property, lovingly maintained by the current owners. Our host is really lovely and really well to make sure that your needs are met. It’s just perfect. I would absolutely stay here again !
The WiFi could be upgraded.

Everything went great! Great location, good value for the price. The owner answered all our questions prior our arrival and made sure we had everything we needed during our stay. Highly recommended ?
Only one key was availible for our group consisting of 4 people so as we each split for a different trip during our stay it was a lil challenging to arrange our later meetup after the trips so we could go back to our room. But it made us wander the streets of Edinburgh a little longer so i cannot really consider this as a con. We were really satisfied :)

All the staff members are informative and helpful. A typical scotish hospitality!
Nothing special, but I prefer a bath tab.

The owners/managers were lovely. Nothing was too much trouble. The room was big. Bathroom was nice. Location was brilliant. Had a great stay. Thank you.
The only little thing is that the mattress was very hard so didn't sleep overly well.

The room was spacious with plenty of wardrobe and drawer space. The location was a 5-10 minute walk from the Theatre and St James Quarter, which was really good for us. There are a couple of restaurants and bars across the road, which was very handy. Tea/coffee/milk/sugar and biscuits were replenished daily, and can I just say...the salted car amel shortbread was an absolute treat! Thank you!
Due to the house being an old building there was only 1 plug socket for the kettle and the tv, so we had to put the kettle on the floor to make tea/coffee when the tv was on. Again, the high ceilings made the room feel cold (along with the shocking temperature outside), but although the heating system was on all day and night (thank you!) the room still felt cold.

A charming old house with nice details, very nice and helpful owner.
High ceilings and old windows so it was a little bit colder in the night but it is a tax for staying in a historical house with very good location.

Place is nice and clean, staff is super friendly! The room and bed are small but cosy. Bathroom was nice and clean and big in comparison. It is a 20 min walk to the old town, very nice location!
Bed is small and so is the room.
