The guesthouse is situated close enough to the city without being stuck in the hustle and bustle. There are numerous buses that stop near the guesthouse and it’s just a few stops into the city. There are convenient stores and a laundromat within walking distance. Numerous pubs and restaurants too. The staff are lovely, friendly and helpful. I really enjoyed the black pudding, tattie scone and haggis for breakfast. There are numerous other options for breakfast if that’s not your bag. Brilliant guesthouse.  

Brilliant gem. Great location and staff. 

My husband and I spent three days at the Balmoral and enjoyed our stay. Our hosts, Helen and Jason, were very hospitable, friendly and helpful. The breakfasts were great with a lot of variety and the Scottish breakfast was freshly cooked. Rooms were very clean and warm and our private bathroom was spotless. Location was very central for getting to all the attractions. We would highly recommend this wonderful guesthouse.

Lovely location and great hosts!

My wife and I stayed 2 nights. Everything was great. The room is spacious and very neat. The breakfast was great. More than enough! Good location and priced rite. Remember to close windows in summer else you get a wakeup call from the “seagull choir” 🤣 Helen and Jason were great hosts going the extra mile to ensure we were comfy.

Great place and excellent hosts. 

Extremely satisfied with the service and the apartment. The stay was cozy and comfortable. The breakfast was great. Lovely decor with helpful staff. Wish to stay back again. Hot breakfast with variety was served. WiFi connection was good.

Very satisfying 

This guesthouse is situated in the middle of Leith and Edinburgh with each around a 15-20 min walk. It is on a residential street but if you walk to the main road there are plenty of buses each way whicb run every few minutes.
The guesthouse itself has lot of charm. The bed was very comfy and it was very clean. Breakfast was plentiful and the host very helpful and friendly helping us with where places were. In the room there are a bus numbers for getting into each town. 
The only reason this hasn't been given 5 stars is that there is only on road parking and the road is very busy. We were very lucky to find parking near to the guesthouse and our room didn't have an en-suite, however the bathroom was ours to use exclusively so didn't pose much of a problem and we were provided with dressinh gowns to be able to leave our room to use the bathroom.  


Lovely place in a good location

A comfortable b&b with lovely hosts.  Breakfast excellent and our room was clean and fresh.  En suite good (not all rooms have them apparently) except it needs a power shower.  We were on the top floor which was up 2 flights of stairs with a large case to manoeuvre and no lift so wise to be aware of this just in case it presents an unexpected problem on arrival.  Comfortable bed and clean towels every day. The hosts are very helpful and interesting people and we would not hesitate to return.  We walked int the centre of Edinburgh which was straight forward and took about 20-30 minuets.  A safe area and also near some local shops and eateries.

Delightful owners and convenient location

Lack of maintenance very evident. Bathroom door top hinge almost completely unscrewed, door closer and careful opening all that prevented door from falling. Water stains on poorly repaired bottom of inside door. Shower area base of wall stained. No lip on shower floor to prevent water splashing on remainder of floor as no shower screen or door.
Small and thin towels. 
Positives were: young fellow assisted with carrying luggage up the stairs. Quiet area at night. Room was clean.


Over priced budget room. £130/night plus £12 cab fair from Waverely Station.

This outlet took money from my card four weeks before staying despite adbertising pay at premises

Money was taken from a shelf company with no connextion whatsoecer with the name of the outlet

Thid outlet is overpriced and shoddy There are plenty of reputable outlets available in Edinburgh even during the Arts Festival

I will be staying well clear of this outlet in futire visiys to Edinburgh
