Stayed with my father for a trip in Edinburgh. For the price, it's a great place to stay. The woman who ran it was friendly, the breakfast was decent, and the room was clean. It was a reasonable location, a short bus ride from city center or a good walk if the weather is nice. The woman who ran it... More

Our stay was not good from when we checked into the hotel as we could not park our car in the small car park as it was full and had to park in a side street. We stayed in room 9 which is at the front of the hotel and is very noisy as it is on the main road,... More

The young land lady was very friendly, but the guest house is one I would not recommend. We are seniors and one who is handicaped in walking, asked to have ground level, not given to us, stating they were used as a family rooms. Stairway very steep, awkward when using a cane. No lounge where one could sit and relax... More

Me and my family spent two nights here. The staff was friendly and very helpful. We had a very clean room overlooking the courtyard. Would definitely stay again.

I didn't stay at the hotel, so can't comment on the accommodation, however the bar and beer garden downstairs was LOVELY! Our trip was in aid of the Edinburgh Marathon and we had AMAZING weather (26 degrees and sunny!). Sitting in the garden at Minto was so relaxing. The food was first class. We went 3 eveningings in a row... More

My boyfriend and I stayed there for a few days, and I wish I had paid better attention to the negative reviews. The house itself seems run down and in need of some TLC. In our room, the wallpaper was peeling, and always cold, even with the radiator on, as the windows let in more air than they kept out.... More

Like all BnBs in Ireland, Scotland and Britain, this BnB will not turn the heat on. The owners are beffudled and bewildered as to how to turn it on and will do it when (insert scapegoat) comes by. The place is FREEZING <- I have stayed at over 300 BnBs in the last few years and I know the pre... More

We stayed there for a week in the end of November. The place is very basic, but well - maintained and reasonably clean. If there was something missing ( like towels sometime, or the maid could miss to clean your room), don't hesitate to address it with Nadja, the place owner, she is quite helpful and will try to fix...

Stayed for 3 nights in April 2010. Good place for short stay, Breakfast simple, but adequate, room & bathroom smallish, but fine for short stay. We were out enjoying the city all day, so room to sleep in and we didn't spend time there in daytime. Owner cheerful & helpful. Good communication before booking.
