Angeline, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Beds are super comfy beds. Easily walk to downtown with easy transit options super clean and nice rooms would stay again
Arlen, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Relatively clean and definitely quiet and walkable. About a 30 minute walk from touristy parts of Edinburgh, can’t beat the value if you just need a place to sleep.
Bryce, 4-night trip

6/10 Okay

A decent location and quiet, but a bit shabby and a tiny room and bathroom. No staff on site.

Enjoyed stay
Jacqueline, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Location is great, close to most and very close to trams, bed was comfortable. Though the shower was a dribble, and a few bits and pieces didn’t work. The communal area needs some work, don’t expect clean dishes to use or a breakfast included like we thought.
Andrew, 2-night trip

2/10 Terrible

I have previously been to the abbotsford when ut was under different owner who kept the BnB absolutely beautiful and was a brillant host and so peaceful place to lay your head.i would not receive this BnBs as its terribly dirty with used beds sheets still on and very noisey!! Thats been nice guys!!

1. Architecture delightful. Not as advertised in supplying services.
Lisa, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Staff was amazing and truly helpful.
Sidhant, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

The staff was responsive and friendly. Overall the stay was nice, the only thing that made me not give them 5/5 is that we booked a triple room, upon arriving to the room only 2 bath towels where found, and even tho we asked for an extra towel through Expedia chat nobody provided it. Bear in mind with this and bring your towels from home but after all, we enjoyed our stay. Thank you for hosting us :)

Kathy, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The room was clean, lovely and warm and had everything we needed. Cleaned daily with water, tea, coffee and biscuits replenished daily. Easy self check in and out. Great location, 2 minute walk from lots of shops, pubs and restaurants.
Simon, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

Nice location, tram to the train station and airport a few minutes away, and if you like walking old town is 20 min away. The room is nice, nothing fancy, but it was clean and had decent amenities
Carole, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Very good place and room It is clean and the size is enough for 2 persons I love it ,, if i will come to Edinburgh i will back reservations in same room
Saud, 3-night trip

4/10 Poor

Our room was very small, my 6’3 father could barely stand in it. Also the bathrooms are communal, I did not see that anywhere in the listing and would not have stayed as my parents are older and don’t enjoy that. The bathroom had no hand towel and they did not provide one (they also only gave us two towels not three). My bed was not made upon arrival with dirty sheets, however my parents bed was clean. We were pretty disappointed as this building has such good reviews and old architecture
Kirsten, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Comfortable and convienent
Jane, 2-night trip

2/10 Terrible

Worst experience I have had in many years. First, our toilet didn’t work - it gets no water flow - not a temporary issue. Rather than admitting this we spent the first night with waste stinking up the room and the rest of our stay using the shared toilet down the hall. Second, lights flickered and were literally falling out of the ceiling - had tape around one fixture that was an attempt to keep it on the ceiling at some point, felt very unsafe. Sheets had holes in them on both beds, aside from just pathetic quality of bedding to start. Mold growing in multiple places in the bathroom, tufts of hair in corners in bathroom and hall, stains on the walls. ZERO responsiveness to emails/voicemail. And to top it off, a stuffed animal was stolen from our room the last day which my son had purchased as a special souvenir.
Taryn, 3-night trip

Everything easy !
Victor, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

It was a nice stay there. Room and washroom was clean. But it was quite small room for 3 people. Just one cupboard given for 3 persons.
