Cheap and cheerful.Clean.Value for money

A nice place to stay for a night. No frills. Clean and tidy. Parking for a couple of cars to the rear, but these are tight spaces. Bus stop right outside will take you into the city centre (about a 20 min bus journey). Tea and coffee/shampoo and conditioner supplied. Breakfast was continental and nice.

There was a very small parking area to the rear. The property entrance hall and stairwell need refurbishing - large stained areas on carpet. Room was adequate and beds were comfortable. No disturbance but a lingering smell in room, partly a drain smell from shower. Needed a spare key for my son butvthere wasn't one. Good, frequent bus system, into Edinbugh, from stops very close by.

The property advertises being on the grounds of Craigmillar Castle. The castle is no where near this property. We didn’t even see the castle.

Onsite parking was extremely limited. Busy road. Convenient for taking the bus. Bed was comfortable. Room needs some TLC (paint, dusting/mold in bathroom). Difficult checking in if you can’t phone to be let in (out of country phone didn’t have calling in UK).

Would give this one a miss

Unfortunately the Guest House requires updating in a very poor state of repair, cleanliness an issue and facilities are poor.
