Booked double room, had a really good stay during whole visit. Loved the configuration of the perfectly clean bathroom and there were a sofa bed, central heating, and an iron. It had a comfortable location so close to Prince Street, Old Town and Stockbridge, the train station and centre of Edinburgh.

The breakfast looked full size, with good fresh coffee, unfortunately we didn't have time and didn't try it. The location was comfortable and handy and the public parking was nearby.

The stay here was absolutely amazing during whole visit. All in all everything was perfect, nonetheless we had not very clean bathroom. The hotel was set in a central area adjacent to center, Stockbridge which is a very nice area for bars and City Centre and Stockbridge.

The venue was not far from new town. Good choice of restaurants to eat close by, like New Chapter that was only 10 minutes' walk away. Free Wi Fi was working perfectly. We strongly recommend as we enjoyed Ailsa Guest House.
