Overall Ratings & Reviews Abbotsford Guest House

Good location, early check in much appreciated

Our room was very small, my 6’3 father could barely stand in it. Also the bathrooms are communal, I did not see that anywhere in the listing and would not have stayed as my parents are older and don’t enjoy that. The bathroom had no hand towel and they did not provide one (they also only gave us two towels not three). My bed was not made upon arrival with dirty sheets, however my parents bed was clean. We were pretty disappointed as this building has such good reviews and old architecture

This property does not have accessible laundry services for guests! Although they advertised twice that they have laundry, laundry is not an option for guests. Laundry availability was one of the reasons we booked this stay, so please keep in mind that they do not actually offer laundry services. We had to pay to use the laundromat down the street which was fine, but this stay did gasket advertise for laundry in my opinion. Also the wifi never worked, and they never provided use with a correct and working password. If traveling here in summer, remember that there is no AC. We were lucky to be able to keep our window open, but there is a skylight in both the bathroom and the stairway that heats up the entire building as you go higher up. When we arrived we went ahead and changed the sheets as they did not look clean, we also had to get new towels because there was only one and it seemed to be dirty. Maybe they forgot to change our room? We did check in right after check in time so it should have been enough time to clean the room but who knows. Anyway, area was nice and walkable about 30 minutes to the center with plenty do food and shops on the way. We enjoyed how it was not very crowded and felt safe as we were two younger women staying. Overall 3.5/5, would stay again in cooler weather and if the room was for sure changed before arrival!

Relatively clean and definitely quiet and walkable. About a 30 minute walk from touristy parts of Edinburgh, can’t beat the value if you just need a place to sleep.

Location is great, close to most and very close to trams, bed was comfortable. Though the shower was a dribble, and a few bits and pieces didn’t work. The communal area needs some work, don’t expect clean dishes to use or a breakfast included like we thought.

Beds are super comfy beds. Easily walk to downtown with easy transit options super clean and nice rooms would stay again

1. Architecture delightful. Not as advertised in supplying services.

I have previously been to the abbotsford when ut was under different owner who kept the BnB absolutely beautiful and was a brillant host and so peaceful place to lay your head.i would not receive this BnBs as its terribly dirty with used beds sheets still on and very noisey!! Thats been nice guys!!

The staff was responsive and friendly. Overall the stay was nice, the only thing that made me not give them 5/5 is that we booked a triple room, upon arriving to the room only 2 bath towels where found, and even tho we asked for an extra towel through Expedia chat nobody provided it. Bear in mind with this and bring your towels from home but after all, we enjoyed our stay. Thank you for hosting us :)

We stayed only one night & it was good to get a room fair 3 walkable to both Leith & city centre.

Close to bus and tram. No elevator. Very helpful staff!

Very good stay. Nice staff and responsive to chat.

The room was clean, lovely and warm and had everything we needed. Cleaned daily with water, tea, coffee and biscuits replenished daily. Easy self check in and out. Great location, 2 minute walk from lots of shops, pubs and restaurants.

Stayed for 1 night while in the city for a family event. Decor is dated in places but the room was comfortable and clean. We stayed in one of the rooms that had a shared bathroom. The bathroom was also very clean but the shower was poor (freezing cold or roasting hot, no middle ground). Express check-in and check out was quick and very convenient. Staff were available and helpful via WhatsApp regarding the check in process. Kettle with tea and coffee in room but didn't use and left before breakfast so can't comment on that. House was very convenient and only a few minutes walk from the Balfour Street tram stop.

Terrible

Staff was amazing and truly helpful.

Comfortable and convienent

Nice location, tram to the train station and airport a few minutes away, and if you like walking old town is 20 min away. The room is nice, nothing fancy, but it was clean and had decent amenities

We booked a triple room which was very small but it was clean and comfortable. Our main issue was the 3pm check in. We were early arriving at 2:30 hoping the room might have been available. It wasn't so came back at 3:30 still wasn't quite ready. On a city break and only visiting for one night the last thing you want is to be kept hanging around waiting to dump your bag. Could have been better organised.

Enjoyed stay
