The breakfast was great and complete with hot options and yogurt, for example. The location was lovely in a pretty quiet area, right by bus stop, the city centre 15min by bus and stops right outside the guesthouse.

I had a lovely sized and stylish room with crammed open closet space, adequate ventilation plus out-bed linen. Near a bus stop, the location was particularly good and excellent, very close to easy transport links to central edinburgh.
The staff was a bit unpleasant.
