Great stay!! I arrived early but was able to drop off my luggage. Lukas met me at reception and was very kind and clear with instructions. Beautiful room, no issues whatsoever. The room faced a relatively busy street but I didn't find it noisy at all. Although there is no on-site breakfast, they are kind enough to provide a kitchen area with some basics like bread, cereal and fruit for anyone who wants along with some discount coupons for nearby cafes. Also it's right by a bus stop so easy to get around. Will definitely stay here again if I am back. Thanks!! -Zac

What an amazing stay. Sylvia and Lukas were so wonderful and went above and beyond to make sure my stay was relaxing and enjoyable. As a solo traveller it’s always a concern finding safe comfortable accomodation. 4 friends delivered beyond expectation. Room was gorgeous. Bed super comfy. Highly recommend this wonderful guest house. Convenient location with buses at doorstep.

Too far from city center

Too far from city center. We booked two nights, but left after one. The cost of the Uber ride one way was $17.81 to city center. Closest restaurant a 16 minute walk.

Good price for Edinburgh hotel

This hotel was very reasonably priced for expensive Edinburgh. 20 mins by bus to the train station. Walking distance to the Royal Yacht. The staff were very friendly. No included breakfast, but they were a few complimentary breakfast items in the lobby, which we made use of. The room was very clean.

We stayed here on our 1st trip to Scotland and could not have had a better place to stay in Edinburgh. The owners were so helpful and knowledgeable. They helped us with bus & train schedules, keeping our luggage after checkout, and even finding our lost cell phone! The room was clean & comfy! Would definitely stay here again!

It's a great hotel/hostel, very clean and cosy. The only negative (other than street parking) was the traffic noise that I could hear at great volume in my room. All the other rooms were further from the road so it might not be as bad in those. Ear plugs are provided but I don't work well with them so wasn't able to sleep well on the first night. I was knackered on night two so that was a much better night's sleep! The location is great, lovely pub close by and a superb chipper run by locals that does pizza and kebabs too. Try the Hoggie, it's ace!

Lovely, friendly place

Edinburgh is very over priced when it comes to hotel rooms. I managed to get this room quite cheap so expectations were low. I was pleasantly surprised. All the things that you want to be good were good. VERY CLEAN (room and linen) although a shared bathroom, it was a very clean and spacious one. Very very friendly staff. The room furniture was dated a little, but judging a chest of drawers holds no point, as long as it is clean and not broken. Would definitely stay here again.

4 Friends House

Beautiful place to stay, it was room only, very clean tidy and spacious. Lovely and warm. Tea coffee water in room for you. Reception open 10-6pm 11am check out f early post room key in box. They give you tokens for breakfast with two cafes to get 10% discount. We used Yo Yo’s 3 minute walk from hotel. Absolutely delicious, very friendly staff and lovely menu and service. Will return.
