The best thing to be said about the Guest House is its location. Easy to find and centrally placed, it's excellent to use as a base for exploring. The room we stayed in was large and clean, although the decor was a bit dated and it did get cold. This wasn't helped by single-glazed windows which also meant we got... More

Spent a night here in September as I was looking for a cheap single room and they had a room for £35 per night incl breakfast. When I got there I realised I had stupidly booked it for the wrong night and was a day early. The owner really kindly let me stay anyway, and as the single room was... More

The main plus here is the location. It's 5 minutes from Princes Street, a 10-15 minute stroll from the station, and within walking distance of all Edinburgh's central attractions. The staff were extremely helpful. My tip - remember this is a B&B in a side street and they seem to rely on internet bookings rather than walk-ups. It is not... More

No heating at all during all my time spent in the room on a cold Sunday (although the owner told me the heating had to work from 6pm till 9pm). That old radiator, controlled by a central unit somewhere downstairs at the reception of this B&B, remained cold all day and night i was in that room.. All sockets in... More

This accommodation was very clean and located just blocks from the city center. The host was very welcoming and helpful. Breakfast was included at nearby Rick's, which was truly excellent! Overall, it was a bit pricey, but I guess for the city center, that is to be expected. More

This was a great B&B. I stayed in a room with a shared bathroom. I never had to wait for anyone so that I could use the bathroom. The free wifi was a definite plus too. Breakfast is not served in the B&B. Instead you are given vouchers that can be used at either of 2 restaurants that are very... More

We spent four nights here with my husband late June and I'm actually glad that I haven't botherd to place my review until now. Here goes re. earlier review: For £90 night we found this guest house very good value. We stayed at the top floor (no lift, do you really expect one in a II Grade listed British b'n'b?)... More

My best friend and I traveled to Edinburgh for a few days of sightseeing. I wanted to stay somewhere nice and was willing to pay for a bit of luxury. I chose this B&B based on the good reviews on TripAdvisor, and I must say I am quite disappointed with the place. But I shall start with the positives. The... More

My husband and I had a lovely stay at Edinburgh Central, the accommodation was very clean and simple and the host Sissi was incredible helpful and friendly. I would highly recommend this guesthouse for price and location. The restaurant Ricks were you go for breakfast down the road is top quality for food and excellent service although service finishes a... More
