Reasonably priced hotel only 5 minutes from Princes Street and Waverley Station. Rooms aren’t great but they are clean and the beds are spotless. Big building work going on behind means early wakening but I would happily stay there again.

Handily placed

Room was perfectly adequate, it was central to where we needed to visit, round the corner from the bus station and 10 minutes walk to the train station. Staff all friendly breakfast was amazing, only complaint, which cant be helped by the hotel is the construction going on directly behind 
(outsode our room window) that started at 6.30am the one night i could get a sleep in. Again thats not the hotels fault! Would definitely return!

Over night stay

We had a 3 night stay in a large double room on the first floor. Clean, comfortable and warm. Big bed, good sleep!!!
The shower area was fine, water pressure strong!!! Central location. We will return.

BASIC/GOOD/CLEAN

We choose this hotel because of it's location, it's on the door step of the bus station or a 10 minute walk from Waverly train station,it's also close to the town centre, so great for shopping & bars, the staff are very welcoming, we we're aloud to leave our case both before check-in & after check-out which was much appreciated, the hotel is a big old building, we we're in room 11 which was on the second floor at the back of the hotel, not so good if your disabled as it is four flights up, there didn't appear to be a lift, but we never asked if there was one, the room was adequate & nice and clean, with tea & coffee facilities a hair dryer & a mini bar of lux soap each, we choose to have a cooked breakfast at £7.50 each which was very nice, you could also help yourself to toast, cereals, yoghurts  fruit in juice, fresh fruit, tea, coffee, & fruit juice. 

The only downfall was the huge construction site outside our window, we were awakened at 05.15 by a delivery of construction materials, we managed to get back over but were disturbed again when work commenced at 07.30, not so good if your nursing a hangover, it's not likely to be finished in the next month that's for sure, obviously this is not the hotel's fault, but just thought it merits a mention for future guests.

Don't let it put you off though as we would definitely stay at this hotel again.

The pictures show how close the bus station is, and the construction site from our window.

Ideal for our overnight stay

Was a bit apprehensive about our stay after reading some reviews but it was fine.
Hotel is basic and a little dated but clean and warm.
We had a family room in the basement and it was a really large space. Beds clean and comfortable, plenty of towels.
Location great, 5 mins into centre.
There is some building work going on nearby but wasn’t an issue.
Good location, no frills hotel.

Christmas markets break

Stayed for three nights the B/B is clean no breakfast changing menu for Christmas, also pay extra , The location is perfect for sight seeing tram at the door ,bus stations 200yards away Princess Street 5mins walk , Now the down side ---- building work started at the front door continued down the street also up the side of the building into what would seem like a garden they are building a huge apartment complex with 24 hour working at the back which continues into St James Square its huge . The noise went on all day all through the night with Lorries coming in and out unloading ,machines bleeping men shouting , orange lights spinning on the bedroom ceiling through the night ,Asked if we could change room told it was worse on the front , so would avoid even tried wax ear plugs . Expensive as it only offers the location , The gent on the desk (when attended )was rude on departure,more interested at getting the new arrivals in at 10 ,clock feel sorry for them but more sorry for the money we paid for the all trip .

Location Great

The room feels a bit unclean but the bed looks good and fresh.
The tiles in the shower are black from,I think funguses, but if you are careful you don't have to touch them.
40 Years ago I stayed in a hotel in London that felt exactly like this one. Back to the past.
The people who run the place are very nice and the breakfast quite okay.
The location is perfect!
The biggest minus is that they don't have twin beds.

Back in time....

Large room, comfortable bed (though pokey little bathroom with non-functioning shaving light), fairly decent breakfast and convenient location. Nice staff too. BUT no internet in room...AND terribly noisy at night! Whatever you do avoid a road side room...

Convenient and comfortable but terribly noisy at night!

We spent 3 nights at the York House (when we booked, it was under York House B&B) on our recent trip to Edinburgh. The location is convenient, only a short walk to the train station and about 20 minutes to Old Town (mostly due to us taking the most circuitous route possible, I'm sure), with the tram stop pretty much right outside the door.

It was definitely a basic place to stay, don't expect more than that, but the staff were very friendly throughout, and accommodating when we requested a second pillow for each bed (you only get the 1 each on check in). There seemed to be some heating issues the last night we stayed, as all of the fire doors were closed when we got up and we had to run the in-room heaters all night just to keep it comfortable. Didn't even turn them on the other 2 nights and we were comfortable. 

It was quite loud where we were in the basement, largely due to the fact that the window (which is large, so that's a bonus) faced the street so we heard all the pedestrians, traffic noise, and the tram, but we both slept quite well and the room was a good size. Very high ceilings even in the basement, which - along with the large window - made it feel like you weren't in a basement at all. No real amenities (including no shampoo, etc), but it was clean, the food was quite decent and while we only had the continental, there was no shortage of bread for toast, cereals, fruit, and coffee. 

I would have preferred more options for the yogurt, personally - there was only 1 or 2 units of a fruit flavour each morning, the rest were caramel or toffee flavoured, which was definitely not what we were looking for to start the day. 

Overall, you get what you pay for - this was a budget option for us to close out our 2 weeks in Scotland. I would say it was worth what we paid for it, but I wouldn't have paid more.
