Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The location was very walkable to amenities which was the main selling point. The room we had in the basement was very dated, rather noisy, and looked nothing like the room photos shown. If this is a bed and breakfast the breakfast part was not evident.

We found the place easily. Parking was fine. Staff was pleasant and helpful. The room was small but fine for a night. The bed though was made with an old, dainty iron frame. It creaked a lot at the slight movement. Public transportation is nearby. We even walked back from downtown Edinburgh.

The staff was helpful. There was no body soup to wash the body and need to replace their towels. The towels were old and some had a whole on it. Need to upgrade the bathroom and repaint the wall and the door.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
It didn't look anything like the pictures. The room was not clean, there was rubbish under the bed and the kettle was not usable. The bus stop was two minutes away and it was also walkable from the center, so location is good, and also the lady checking us in was nice. However, the cleanliness would make me not want to stay again.

Liked: Cleanliness
The location is conveniently located on the bus route to the city centre but we chose to walk the 2km into town. We didn't have a fridge in our room but the hosts agreed to freeze some water bottles for our cooler bag. We didn't have towels and cups for all of our group but they were provided when requested. The beds were comfortable but the bathroom needs some maintenance attention. Our shower head functioned but the spray unit kept falling off. Overall it was fine for our three night stay.

The hostess, Saghira, went above and beyond to ensure I was comfortable during my stay. She was the perfect hostess and responded straight away when I contacted her for assistance. The property itself is located near bus stops that take you straight to the heart of the city centre. It's an easy 10-15 minute bus ride. The property is clean and homely. The bathroom is routinely cleaned. I have enjoyed my stay at the Edinburgh Travel Guest House and if I ever return, I will make sure to book my stay with them again!
