房東人很好,我們是從倫敦到愛丁堡的,晚上六點多到愛丁堡火車站,走路過去也就四十分鐘不到,路上經過中餐廳吃完晚飯才到那,房東説發消息給我説等到五點,結果我沒看,卻也等了,首先位置還不錯這個房價,而且早餐很豐盛特別水果,床也很舒服,去各個景點走完全沒問題,很滿意的一次旅行🧳

Very nice, clean, personal and friendly! YES!
Very, very friendly hostess - Vivianne! Great breakfast, everything you could ask for (except for hot food). Great fruit, bread, eggs, sweet rolls, juices yoghurt, et.c. Very personal and informative. Rooms are a little small (not uncommon). Very clean. The only negative is the location even though the bus runs just outside and comes often. (A little bit too far to walk if you wanna walk back and forth one/twice a day). But again, easy with the bus. I would definitely go back, thank you Vivs!!! <3

Great carpet floor!
Lovely rooms, great carpet floor. Could easily lie completely flat on that one. Nice and easy high quality breakfast. High ceilings. Small bathroom, but nice and modern. Housekeeping was good. Vivienne was a great host. She greeted us with arms wide open. I give it five stars. Or maybe 10/10. That is one way to write it also.

Vivienne’s guest house is perfection. Our family loved the decor, the amenities and the breakfast. It was very easy to visit Edinburgh from this location. Vivienne is so friendly and welcoming.
