+The quiet location yet close to public transport and quick run into the city either by tram or bus
−Heavier curtains or blinds to block out the bright street lights at night.

“A great location and a clean and comfortable stay .”
+Absolutely spotless , good tea and coffee tray ,nice room , cotton sheets , friendly and helpful host . Location was good for central Edinburgh , site seeing and shops and close to tram and railway station . Excellent recommend for breakfast locally .
−Would have preferred bigger bath towels …. And prefer white . And two hand towels instead of one. Also would be helpful to have shower gel pump in the shower area . Being a shower over the bath it would also be useful to have a grip rail to help you get up into the bath and out .

+Teuchters pub a few streets away serves really nice and fresh scottish pub food. In the house, Lukasz was really helpful and took the time to give us explanations on the surroundings and how to get around. Nice reading room upstairs especially well lit with natural light in the evening. Nice in general to have the opportunity to stay in a victorian house
−Very expensive during the Fringe. 239 GBP for 1 night is largely overpriced for the services provided. The.bathroom is large and well lit, but it is nothing close to luxurious as described in some of the landlord's comments (mainly dated and you will be sharing the space with hairy long-legged inhabitants, I don't mind them but some customers do..) . It also is not ensuite and this is not explained in the description. You need to cross the reception area to get there. The accommodation has the charm of an old house, nothing more . There is a storage space in the room which is really wobbly. The furniture is dated in general, and has no charm (at least in the bedroom). Strange choice and mix of decoration too. . A job from a local interior designer would help raise the bar and justify the rate

“Grand old style luxury in a fantastic location.”
+We had a huge family room for the 4 of us, located in the west end of the New Town, within walking distance of the city centre. The room was a grand reception room of a traditional Georgian house.
−The bathroom for our room was lovely, but not ensuite so we had to go through the entrance hall, but in doing so we did not encounter others so there was no real inconvenience. The location was so central that we had to pay extra for parking for the 2 nights of our stay.

“Great if you love giant spiders”
+The area was nice and quiet. I didn't mind the room much either. It was decent, a little shabby and musty but it's an old house so I won't complain about that. The bathroom was modern which was a plus.
−I usually try never to leave a negative review, but I need to share our experience. When we were getting ready to go to bed and turned over the covers, there was a huge spider there. It's not like something you would see inside a house, rather in a terrarium. I reached out to the staff and he came in after a while and he was upset that we were afraid and wanted it removed from our room. He kept saying we don't kill these things, it's a 200 year old house and it's expected that there would be spiders. I asked him to remove it from our room and turn the bed covers over to make sure there weren't any more but he was very snarky about it and kept saying there will be spiders, it's a 200 year old house. He did say he would return our money if we wanted to leave but it was 10 at night, during the Fringe festival and I was traveling alone with my two children. So that really wasn't an option. My daughter was traumatized by the whole experience. My whole point is, ok fine I accept it's a 200 year old house and is inhabited by giant spiders (about 2") but when your guests are afraid, the least you can do is turn the covers over the other beds and check the room to see if there are any more

+Location and room with entrance suite. Great host and very helpful recommendations Great pubs around the corner
−-No washcloths -no ice available on request - no en suite personal refrigerator - suggest there would be a small table to hold the coffee station equipment, had to plug in the tea kettle on the floor

“Ein wundervolles Haus genau zwischen Trubel (Princes Street) und Ruhe (Dean Village).”
+Die Lage der Chester Street 22 ist genial - genau zwischen dem Trubel (Altstadt - Princes Street - Edinburgh Castle) und der Ruheoase (Dean Village). Das Haus hat Charme. Fein war auch die Mitbenutzung eines Wohnzimmers. Dort saßen immer wieder andere Reisende, mit denen man ins Gespräch kommen konnte.

“Étape agréable à Édimbourg”
+C’est un très bel hébergement dans un quartier magnifique et très calme. L’accueil par le propriétaire était sympathique et très professionnel. Enfin les équipements étaient très satisfaisants et la salle de bains très grande.
−Le tarif (178 €/ nuit) était assez élevé par rapport à la concurrence dans ce niveau de gamme.

“Chambre correcte et bien placée qui mériterait rafraîchissement”
+L’accueil de l’hôte, la propreté du logement, le côté spacieux de la chambre
−La baignoire avec le pommeau de douche qui fuyait, le délabrement de la colonne de douche, le confort du matelas qui laissait à désirer et la taille du lit (petite).
