The staff were excellent here. Very attentive and helpful, and the checkin and checkout were very quick and smooth. The breakfast is basic, but good. If you prefer a proper hot meal, there are many restaurants and cafes in the area. The room and hotel were clean, but without keeping the window open the room started to smell a bit musty, but not overly so.

We had an amazing experience. This is a historical house, and the owner goes extra mile to maintain the property's historical vibe. They offer a light breakfast in a room with the original 18th century decor, and the owner has music performance in the evenings telling about history of Edinburgh and local landmarks. It felt like visiting a family, all the stuff is very helpful and accommodating.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The staff were really good and very helpful. The property was what I needed , clean, and a great location, but a bit pricey for what you get. The shared bathroom was clean but I could hear when anyone went to the bathroom. I enjoyed the Scottish music in the evening which was a really nice and interesting touch. My only two less positive points would be that breakfast finished at 0900hrs which is a bit early if you wanted a lie in and the price of a "single" room which was pretty small for a price of over £115 per night. However overall I really enjoyed my stay at Averon Guest House. Kenny

I stayed in a single room and shared bathroom. The view into the garden was a great way to wake up. No complaints! The only issue I had was that the walls are thin and the people next to me were not concerned with waking others. Their shower pipes ran the wall next to my head while I was sleeping. They showered late at night. Other than that the staff was amazing, the Scottish music was phenomenal, and breakfast was a great start to my day. Thank you Averon Guest House for making my visit even better.

I booked this hotel because it listed as a 3 star hotel. However it much likes a hostel rather than a three star hotel. The room is a little dirty, especially the curtain. The bathroom was shared with other guests and locate far away from the room and is small. No shampoo is available. No dryer. Taking bath is not convenient. The room is near the entry doors and breakfast room. Morning is a little noise. The TV is extremely small. The hotel is too expensive comparing what they can provide. Expedia should not list it as a three star hotel. It is extremely misleading.

Personal trevliga och hjälpsamma. Frukost väldigt enkelt, endast rostat bröd med ost och marmelad och olika flingor med mjölk samt frukt och kakor. Rummen var helt okej, bra storlek, men kändes ofräscht med fläckig heltäckningsmatta. Sköna sängar! Väldigt lyhört men det störde inte oss. Smidigt att vi fick en parkeringsplats, stort plus. Tog ca 15 min promenad till Edinburg Castle, bra avstånd till det mesta ifall man vill gå.

chambre d'hôte vintage très charmante à Edimbourg

Hébergement très proche centre à peine 13 minutes à pied. Notre séjour à 5 s'est très bien passé dans cette chambre d'hôte familiale au charme très désuet. Personnel très sympathique et mention spéciale pour le propriétaire Alan Cran pour son concert folklorique du soir.
