Wonderful
Loved the location. Friendly welcome. Nice touch to provide fresh milk. Bed was very comfy and we both had great sleep. Lovely hot shower. Lighting was good for reading. Room nice and warm with 2 radiators and an extra fan heater if required. Peaceful location. WiFi good. Good that there were umbrellas to borrow and noted a luggage scale which would be useful to others. Maps and guides of Edinburgh plentiful.
These are minor for us. Dusty around mirror, floor and surfaces. Bathroom tile grouting needs a refresh.. Outside steps down to flat were steep, though we expected that as was mentioned in previous comments. Had to use a torch to key in the code outside as outside light didn't provide enough light to do it.

Central. Close to buses, restaurants etc
Room was too cramped. Stayed for 3 nights, and no housekeeping-trash was left in bins. Hand towel and bathmat were not changed, resulting in a damp bathroom

Very good localization. And very helpful host.
We were in October when it’s already cold outside. And it was also cold inside during night. We had heater and additional duvet which made the night bearable.

Great location. Lovely room very quiet easy access to City clean room and man was very friendly shook hands on arrival and leaving and was very helpful when i forgot my room number he txt me within 5 mins. New number to leave baggage in hall for late leave home from station. Came to say goodbye and sorted taxi to station cos of amount we had bought. Would book again next year when going to tattoo. Friendly hosts always there when needed. Quiet compact room we both loved it
Could do with leaving some cutelry in hallway to use at night when returning to room either disposable or washable. In my case i would always wash and put back. Also glasses left for guests but no large glasses for a beer in room before bed which i would wash and put back. " small niggles but just my view and a few more coffee sachets left in hall as i only drink coffee with brown sugar. Great fridge with fresh milk every day. Do not please let my personal views put you off from staying as i would book again no problems. Look forward to seeing you again next year and keep building the business up you will get there i am sure. Martin and Kim

Small room just 5 minutes away from St. James Quarter
A little dark, a little wet, a little cold. All that one would expect from Scotland.

Disappointing
It is an OK room at an OK location. Richard was very nice to us. There is a heater for when it gets cold (and it does, actually).
The room had bedbugs, we literally saw them and got bitten by them. That ruined our whole trip.

It was right in New Town, but off the beaten trail.
It was a little small.

Richard was so kind and caring. He waited for us (our flight was late), and he lent the adaptor (we forgot it!). The position is great, just 15 min walk from the city centre (but if you don't feel like walking you can always catch the bus on the other side of the main street!).

Richard is a great host and the room is really cute. It is located quite close to the centre, so that all the main attractions can easily be reached by foot.

Great location, easy check-in, easy access. Very friendly host.
The bathroom was a bit small and needed some maintenance (for example the sink drain was very slow). Also, it was raining for part of our stay and you could tell that the room stayed very moist inside as a result (windows foggy, towels not dry), but perhaps this is not uncommon for Scotland. Last thing is that there was a fair bit of noise thru the ceiling from people (mainly kids) upstairs.
