“Absolutely wonderful place to stay and would stay here again when I come back!”
+This townhouse was absolutely fabulous! By far one of my favorite places I stayed while in Scotland. I loved the location being away from all the super touristy things but still so walkable to all the sights. The overall feel was so cozy and allowed for the best nights sleep. There was also a little coffee bar in the room which was wonderful to have while getting ready for the day. Owner was also so lovely and had the home decorated for Autumn which I was obsessed with!
−Nothing.

“Beautiful townhouse at great location!”
+Beautiful house with tall ceilings and amazing interior design. The room was very comfortable, and the house has beautiful views. Ruth was always very friendly and helpful. She even took me to find a parking garage. My wife and I loved this place and wished we could have stayed longer!

“We loved our stay here. The location is convenient and the room was elegant and relaxing.”
+It was beautiful and calm. It was easily accessible to many busses and the tram, surrounded by good coffee shop and breakfast options but not too busy for a restful stay. The hosts were welcoming and accommodating, providing power adapters and kitchen utensils when requested. They also provided fantastic input on our itinerary each day around the city

+The owner was very kind and the whole place felt very homey. The location was great without being in the crowds. The room was very beautiful and we had a great view out of the window. I love the historical vibes in this place

+All in all, we had a wonderful time in Edinburgh, a particularly exciting, lively city that buzzes like a beehive during festival season. The West End Townhouse is in a very convenient location: a short walk from the castle, with restaurants just around the corner and the bus stop almost right outside the front door. We had the deluxe room, which was very clean, especially the bathroom. The whole house also made a very clean impression. Carole, Ruth’s mother, is a friendly, elderly lady who is very helpful. We didn’t meet Ruth until the second-to-last day of our 6-day stay at the West End Townhouse; she was also very friendly.
−There’s only one closet for hanging clothes; there’s no coat rack at the entrance. We couldn’t unpack our other clothes from our suitcases because there’s no suitable storage space. There’s no electrical outlet in the bathroom (supposedly due to regulations for older buildings). There are outlets next to the bed, but they’re estimated to be at least 4 meters away from the mirror on the inside of a closet door. Blow-drying your hair while looking in the mirror is very difficult. We ended up buying a small hand mirror. Our room faced the street, which wasn’t clear from the website. The street has a lot of traffic and is relatively noisy. The price is extremely high for what’s offered.

“Fringe break”
+The welcome we received on arrival and throughout our stay was exceptional. The location was great, so close to central Edinburgh yet it felt well away from the hustle of the city centre, so quiet and relaxing.
−Nothing at all.

“Beautiful and cozy townhouse in the West End with warm and wonderful hosts.”
+Upon arriving, we were welcomed by the wonderful hosts into their gorgeous and cozy townhouse. Our room and ensuite bathroom were spacious, beautifully decorated, clean and very comfortable. The hosts were more than accommodating any time we had questions. The location is perfect -- just outside of the more touristy parts of the city, while still being walkable to all of the museums, tourist sites, and great restaurants in nearby Stockbridge and New Town.
