Sakura Edinburgh Guest House

The shower had very low pressure and the bathroom was so cramped I couldn’t sit on the toilet without having the sink in my ribs and my other shoulder tight to the wall.

We wanted a nice place to stay while visiting Edinburgh for the first time. I shopped H***l.com, and read the reviews, and found this room. They had a large T***advisor sign on the window as you enter so I was like cool, this is going to be good. The good: close to many shops and restaurants. We walked to the Royal Mile no problem the weather was good. The bad: The bathroom was not well maintained it had a strong urine smell and two large holes in the wall. The smell was so bad I went to the store and bought cleaner to spray down the bathroom. We closed the door to the bathroom since the smell would overwhelm the room. There is obvious work plumbing that needed to be completed in the bathroom. We were not comfortable sleeping in the bed and just kinda stayed away as long as we could. I’ve stayed in several cities all over the world and this was the first time I saw just a lack of maintenance so blatant. If the plumbing was fixed and the room was cleaned ,as a traveler would expect, this place could be really a cool place, but it was ran more like anything goes.

Good location, about 20 mins walk to the centre, direct on the bus route. So many shops and restaurants on the doorstep. Spaciuos room and nice victorian style

the room was very clean and tidy and there is no staff available and the all the shops were all near in walking distance.

It was over all a good experience. The location was very good. Room was clean and spacious. The bathroom was small but served the purpose. Overall it was good value for money

One of the worst hotel experiences I have ever had. I strongly recommend avoiding this place. The room had a horrible smell from the moment we entered, and it did not go away. We had to sleep with the windows open because the smell was unbearable. The room was dirty, extremely cramped, and so poorly arranged that even reaching the sink was difficult ( I had to go over the bed to it, I’m sure this is illegal ). The shared bathroom was unacceptable: the toilet door did not close properly, the space felt claustrophobic, the shower had almost no water pressure, and the floor was covered with wet bath mats. Plus, the walls were so thin that at night I could hear my neighbour snoring and couching, as well as people nearby screaming till 2 am. Overall, the stay was extremely uncomfortable, unhygienic, and far below any reasonable standard. I would never stay here again.

It was in the chinese quarter, national park very close.. everything was fine, but very cold all night.. the room was only Luke warm at ambout 5pm.. No way, I’ve turning the heat up and then it went off at 7 pm and didn’t come back on until the following morning..

Cheap & clean perfect for an overnight stay. Plenty shops, places to eat and bars near by.

Good location but the toilet seat was broken.

Having booked a single room with a shared bathroom, it was a pleasant surprise to get a twin room with its own bathroom.

The property was clean and cozy. Love the table in the room … a place to sit down to enjoy a meal or simply hot tea and coffee.

I had a really lovely stay here and would happily recommend it to other travellers. The location is excellent – everything you need is close by, with plenty of shops along the main street and easy access to public transport. Getting the bus was very convenient, which made exploring the area simple and stress-free. The place itself met my expectations, and I was especially delighted with both the accommodation and my overall experience in Edinburgh. A special thanks to the host, Ali, who met me on arrival and explained everything clearly – it made check-in very smooth and welcoming. If I return to Edinburgh in the future, I would definitely choose to stay here again.

The bed was comfortable but the layout it a bit unpractically. The hrleater low on the temperature it couldn't make the room warmer.

Everything was fine and the owner contacted me as I was arriving late.

A bit dated and was down in basement

No problems, friendly helpful staff, comfortable and clean

Room was small and basic but comfortable enough for a base to explore the city. Plenty of eateries available nearby and regular buses into the centre for those who don’t fancy a twenty minute walk.

Lovely, highly recommend would book again

Lovely stay and very comfortable bed, was nicely surprised how nice and spacious the room was. Great for the price and close to train station/ bus routes/ and city centre. Staff was lovely and attentive. Would happily stay again

Convenient and friendly but poor condition.
