The owner, Doreen, was so kind and accommodating even in our email and telephone exchanges before we arrived. She was very welcoming once we got there and gave us helpful info and tips about the city as well. The B&B is a lovely townhouse, decorated very elegantly and kept clean and tidy. Our twin room was small, but very reasonable for an old Victorian city house. The high ceilings and nice furnishings made it quite comfortable. Breakfast was excellent - my friend and I agreed, the best bacon we've ever had! The dining room was decorated charmingly for Christmas and it was lovely to chat with Doreen in the mornings. We left early on our final morning, and Doreen arranged a cab for us the night before and left us a cold breakfast tray of fruit, yogurt, and pastries that helped us through our long train journey home. I'd recommend the Star Villa to anyone!

Old Victorian house which means lots of stairs, no elevator, but nice furnishings. Breakfast was very good and top notch. The B&B is next to the Grassmarket area and 15 minute walk from Edinburgh Castle, the Royal Mile, and the train station. Upstairs room on backside of house has a view of the Castle. Rooms on the front of the house were quiet, too. Shower on ground floor with toilets on other floors. Neighbourhood is ok; I walked back at night several times with no issues. Several times I was going to be leaving very early prior to normal breakfast hours and owner had the cold (ie cereal or fruit or both) breakfast tray outside the room in the morning with my order. Cold milk, cereal, hot tea, sports drink, sandwich crackers, fruit, granola bars... most which went with me for nibbling during the day. Very accommodating. The room key doubled as an outer door key to get back in after hours.

First things first, it's off the main road and a little out of town. Not an un-walkable distance, but a little way. The perfect amount in fact. You don't get much of the city noice but you can walk to it if you want. The reception area is modern and tasteful. In fact, as I arrived to greet my parents the hotel was just having fresh flowers delivered. How lovely. The rooms were really nicely decorated too, and en suite. I didn't get chance to sample the breakfasts but both my parents raved about them: "Eeee lad, really sets you up for the day, does a good breakfast." My parents were extras on Last of the Summer Wine you see. Anyway, I was really impressed and I didn't even stay there. My mum and dad loved it and told me to recommend it to everyone. So I am.

These amenities would be standard at any other hotel. This Travelodge is located in a very desirable area of Edinburgh, walking distance to Old Town, the castle, GrassMarket and other very cool sites in the city. Despite the foot traffic, even in high season, the noise is very low and the room is comfortable enough. A huge con is that WiFi is not complimentary. You get 30 minutes free and then are charged £3/day. It's 2018... Offer some wifi! There's a 24 hour bar downstairs and full-service kitchen/restaurant during normal business hours. Overall not a bad choice but there are probably better options with more amenities in Edinburgh.

My parents stayed here last year when they came up to visit, and they spoke highly of it. The guest house itself has 10 en-suite rooms that includes singles, doubles and twin rooms. It offers a full Scottish breakfast that I remember hearing was much to my father's enjoyment! The female owner of the guest house was very pleasant, and I saw her a couple of times. She was always ready to engage in conversation, and taking great care to look after her guests. With a small capacity, and the quality of the guest house, this is bound to be a popular place to stay. It is well worth considering if you are thinking of visiting this area of Edinburgh. My parents would stay there again, and I count that to be as good a recommendation as any!

At first I was a bit disappointed that the only room free on my chosen dates was a single (I was travelling alone but an usually happy to pay the extra for a more comfortable room) but I needn't have worried. OK, there wasn't any 'cat swinging' room to spare, but there was an extremely comfy double bed and en suite shower room. The famously friendly owners were out of town when I visited but the lady left in charge was a treasure, full of helpful tips and just a few moments away if needed. There were a few good breakfast options available, from a 'right on' fruity granola to the 'full on' Scottish (like English with black pudding and haggis). The decor was very 'boutique', there were lovely finishing touches like cotton wool balls for the ladies, free wifi, the best welcoming info folder I have EVER seen in any establishment, and providing you book ahead there are a few private parking spots. It's not budget prices but you could get a lot worse for a lot more. This will definitely be my first choice for my next visit to Edinburgh.

Mit Stolz pflegen sie die Qualität der Zimmer und die Qualität der servierten Lebensmittel beim Frühstück. During our 5 day stay last August we were guests in the large bedroom with en suite generous shower on the first floor. The room was equipped with an ultra comfortable kingsizebed, sitting and writing seats and table and a generous cabinet to store our clothes and things in. The huge window doused the room in lovely light. Während unseres 5 tägigen Aufenthaltes im letzten August bewohnten wir das grosse Schlafzimmer im ersten Stock, welches mit einem grosszügigen Dusch WC Raum ausgestattet ist. Das überdimensionale Bett entspricht genau unseren Komforterwartungen, gute Sitz und Schreibgelegenheiten und ein grosser Schrank gehören ebenso zu diesem Zimmer. Mike and Annie are the most gracious hosts showing an engaged interest in the wellbeing of their guest. No question is too much for them, they certainly love Scotland and are an immense fount of knowledge about Scotland, Edinburgh and certainly Loch Lomond where they spend their spare free time fishing and boating. Mike und Annie sind die grosszügigsten Gastgeber, und zeigen ein wirkliches Interesse für ihre Gäste. Keine Frage ist ihnen zuviel, sie sind eine immense Wissensquelle über Schottland, Edinburgh und Loch Lomond wo sie ihre allzu seltene Freizeit als Fischer auf ihrem Boot verbringen. Breakfast is their common domain of excellence, Mike takes immense pride in the daily preparation of his fresh fruit salad often supported with the biological fresh fruit coming out of their or their daughters gardens. Annie whacks out fantastic accoutrements of traditional scottish breakfast. Their bread is organic produced by their one daughter, who has left banking to take up the trade of organic bakery. Das Frühstück ist ihr gemeinsames Interesse. Mike ist stolz auf seinen täglich zubereiteten Fruchtsalat mit frischen Früchten, oft ergänzt mit biologischen Früchten aus dem Garten oder den Gärten der Töchter. Annie steht in der Küche und bereitet die üblichen Köstlichkeiten des traditionellen schottischen Frühstücks. Das handwerklich hergestellte Brot kommt von der einen Tochter, welche das Bankgewerbe zugunsten einer Ausbildung als Bäckerin aufgegeben hat. As a last Word Dear Annie and Mike ever again!
