“While budget-conscious, this guest house's location proves convenient for travels between the city centre and Kings Buildings. I noted some reports indicate inconsistent room conditions and maintenance. However, the manager's proactive communication and willingness to accommodate guests are bright spots.”

Reviews and Ratings

What past guests shared about their stay
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Edinburgh Travel Guest House offers fairly spacious rooms, some recently renovated, with amenities like kettles with Nescafé and tea readily available. The guest house is conveniently situated near bus stops for easy access to the city centre, and many find the location within walking distance of attractions, approximately 20-25 minutes away. A significant advantage is the private parking at the rear of the property; however, some guests have noted occasional noise from appliances. With cafes like Earl Grange Café nearby on West Mayfield Road, breakfast options are easily accessible.

convenient stay!

helpful videocomfortable bedeasy accessexcellent room
I located the guesthouse easily with the provided video for the front door lock. It was very helpful. the room impressed me, and i found THE bed to be comfortable! it was probably the most comfortable one i've slept on in any hotel or guest house. the location was nice for accessing bus routes.
my room lock felt a little weak with a large crack on the door frame. it made me somewhat uneasy about leaving valuables there. i felt more secure once i double checked everything

useless doorbellsmouldy shower
finding someone to assist was harder than expected. there wasn't a proper reception area. the doorbells seemed useless, and calling didn't exactly produce results. contacting anyone reminded me of an impossible mission. guess i expected a bit more help on site. the shower was rather mouldy and i just had to accept it.

The location offered convenient access to public transportation. It made traveling around the area quite easy. The staff was also helpful in providing directions and information on local attractions. I found this assistance very beneficial .
I noticed the furniture was somewhat worn. This gave the room a slightly outdated feel. I also experienced some noise from the street. It made it a little difficult to sleep soundly at times. The bathroom was quite small.
