Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Edinburgh Travel Guest House is often praised for its convenient location, with easy access to the city centre, either via a pleasant walk of around 20 minutes or a short bus ride from the stop right outside the door. Guests appreciate the reasonably priced rooms, some of which are surprisingly spacious, even featuring walk-in closets. Many rooms also include amenities like a kettle with tea and coffee, and while some guests have noted the decor could use a refresh, the availability of private parking at the rear of the property is a significant plus.
