The room was good, clean and had everything you might need in your short trip. Everything was working too which was a bonus. The location was a bit far from the centre, but definitely walkable. If you are coming to Edinburgh for a short visit the place is perfect

The place is an absolute hovel. Rotten, old, falling to bits to the extent i did not stay. I was given a tutorial on how to use a yale lock on 3 doors which is amusing. But in general the place is not fit for animals never mind humans. As it happened i had to leave for a family emergency but having seen this place i had no intentions of staying. Rooms are weird and old and smelly. Really outdated.

was a reasonably good enough place to stay, close enough to the station as I had an early start for Tough Mudder Scotland, bed was comfortable despite being smaller than I am used to, owner was helpful when I accidently locked myself out of my room going to the loo, plumbing was a bit noisy but that is to be expected with an old building and the room was quite cold but overall a good place to stay,

We had a great stay at Sakura Guest House. The location was perfect—close to everything we wanted to see and easy to get around. The room was very clean and comfortable, and everything was well-maintained. We didn’t have any issues during our stay. I would definitely recommend this guest house to anyone visiting Edinburgh, and I’d happily stay here again.

A little far from city centre but the place is near to restaurants and parks. The room was not ready at check in time so we were allowed to check out later to compensate for the short wait. The room was quite old and the sink and bath area quite mouldy. However, the staff was friendly and helpful.

Very basic accommodation. Questioned the cleanliness a little bit and there was a strong smell throughout the guesthouse. But it does the job of providing a bed for one or two nights in Edinburgh if you’re looking for affordable accommodation.

The room is good but the staff replied very late to my phone call, there's said the check-in time is 2pm but there was nobody when I arrived at 2pm, I waited outside the door until 2.30pm after someone came.
