Very friendly staff. Rooms and facilities were spotless. Stayed there for 2 nights while at a wedding close by. Breakfast was the only let down. Lack of variety. Had no problems with shared bathroom, as it was kept very clean.

This hotel is located literally 10-15 minutes walk from the royal mile, Edinburgh castle, and lots of other beautiful things to see and do in Edinburgh (including some great parks!). The people who run the hostel are extremely nice, and gave us grant recommendations of local restaurants and pubs, and also suggested that we pack up some of the breakfast... More

I have stayed at 3 different B&Bs in Edinburgh, Scotland, and this one was by far the best experience and thus my favorite. A friend and I had a Double Ensuite bedroom for 3 nights, and it was perfect. Location is well-situated, and the room itself was AMAZINGLY large (& beautifully decorated), and the bathroom spotless & roomy as well.... More

On 5/3/13 I booked to stay at the edinburgh central guest house for 3 nights from 25-27/4/2013. I was attending a Midwifery Conference and organised Ceilidh in the centre of the city and as I was traveling alone a central location was extremely important to me. I received a phone call, half an hour before my arrival, whilst on the... More

With regards to this review, may I take the time to explain the full situation which can be verified by Late rooms. And also that I dont appreciate untrue and insulting comments like "liar" and "bully". As stated, I had an unfortunate overbooking in my guest house for a single room with a shared bathroom at £45.00 per night. I... More

Stayed at this guest house during a busy tourist weekend where the choices were limited and prices high. Turns out this place was in the perfect location and the rooms were clean and comfortable. The service was great and breakfast had all you needed. Would stay here again and not at one of the large chain hotels.

Chosen for it's proximity to bus station and access to buses on Princes Street and it was a good deal from laterooms.com. Pleasantly surprised by the room although small. Perfectly adequate for my one night stay. Clean and comfortable. Not so keen on the shared bathroom, although depends on the courtesy and consideration of fellow guests. Don't think I would... More

Edinburgh Central Guesthouse was very central. I didn't have a car and I walked everywhere - easily. Super close to Waverly Station (6-10 minute walk depending on the weight of your luggage!). The managers were really nice and checked in with me throughout my stay, answered by questions, ordered me a taxi the morning I left. The room was decorated... More
