It’s like exactly as in the photo. Super comfy with daily cleaning. Staff is super friendly and just amazing. Special thanks to Martha for all her tips and support and her colleague with the help of my luggage. Location is good. Bus stop is just in front of the property and up to 20 min to city center.

This is a fantastic place to stay in Edinburgh! The location is great because you're far enough away from the madness to relax, but still close to buses and downtown. The room we stayed in was also on the top floor and had beautiful skylights. It was so relaxing seeing the stars as we went to sleep! The owners are lovely and on the property so that was a great bonus.

The guest house was in a great location. Next to the bus station, 5 minutes away from Waverley station. Our room was clean with firm comfy beds, exactly as we requested. Murray, our host, was helpful and polite, and looked after us so well. Our room had a great view from the windows. The breakfast was lovely. The rooms were quieter than I had expected given the location.

Good guest house that provides the comfort you expect on a city trip. Good location in a nice and quiet neighborhood. Public transport available in the area and the city centre a reasonable twenty minutes walk away. Friendly management.

Breakfast was terrific and was a bespoke breakfast, cooked to order. Nothing was too much trouble and the food was plentiful. All staff - Dave, Ian, Stephen and Jane- were welcoming and helpful and accommodated individual requests. It's a couple of miles from city centre, but this makes it a quiet location and there is a bus stop directly opposite the guesthouse with regular buses into the centre.

Mayfair Guest House is really well located, just minutes from the Balfour Street tram stop. The room was spacious and had everything we needed including tea/coffee and towels. I had my apprehensions about sharing a bathroom, but the downstairs bathroom was really clean. The host was welcoming when we arrived and showed us where things were. The room was also very quiet. I would recommend this to travellers who are looking for somewhere comfortable and don't mind that it is basic.

Lovely Victorian guest house. Cosy room in a great location within walking distance from the city centre. Keiko was very accommodating and helpful. There were some really nice local places to eat and a good local shop across the road for picking up food and supplies. Really enjoyed our stay and would recommend!
