Elder York Guest House - Edinburgh

murray goes above and beyond in his service, offering early breakfast options for your convenience

The hospitality at Elder York Guest House. Murray's kindness and the delicious breakfast selection created a nice experience.

Affable staff and prime location to all transport links, everything was perfect. The breakfast offered was delicious with toast and hot options, as for instance. Loved the way our bright and cosy suite in the loft space had to bend over to get to the bathroom was. Good service was provided here.

Everything was fab, including delicious and absolutely superb breakfasts with toast and hot options. All the services were good!

Proximity to train station, Convenient drop-off area for luggage, Charming historical building ambiance

Noise from the busy street and inconsistent water pressure were bothersome. A few updates to the decor could enhance the overall charm and comfort!!!

The location is very convenient, not far from the center and all the sights. Very courteous young man. All cozy and homemade, delicious...

Little tight, in some places it needs repair.

The service was good, I was offered a delicious breakfast with hot options and toast, as for instance.

Stayed at this so-called guest house expecting some sort of pampering but was met with disturbingly loud street noise and unexpected hairs scattered throughout the room. You'd think for the price, I would at least warrant a cute gift or a complimentary upgrade, but I guess that's asking too much. Almost left a good review, but, I just couldn't!

Thoroughly enjoyed my stay and recommend this hotel. I stayed here for 1 night, the venue was WONDERFUL, with magnificent and incredible location near to the center and bus station, train station and Princess Street and especially the Playhouse theatre and the bus station. Everything was perfect, including delicious and absolutely superb breakfasts with toast and hot options. The room was great-sized and extremely pleasant for private bathroom and my experience was thoroughly enjoyable. All the services were good.

Elder York was a lovely spot for our family getaway! Murray, the owner, was kind and even helped us with our bags. The location was perfect-just a short stroll to the Royal Mile. My grandson really enjoyed the spacious common areas.

In my wife's opinion, the steep stairs were a bit challenging with our family and luggage.

The place is in a great spot, close to a lot of attractions. We played at St Andrews Old Course and visited Bruntsfield. Murray was super helpful and made sure we had a good breakfast to start our days. I recommend trying the local cafes for some good food too!

One downside was the hard bed, made it tough to sleep well.

a decent stay but with notable downsides

Breakfast was quick and very good, with a variety of fresh options each morning. Both Murray and his parents were nice. I appreciated their recommendations for local dining.

the first flight of stairs lacked handrails, a bit tricky to navigate.

the room was basic, which was a bit disappointing (especially for the price). however, the location was perfect, just steps from princes street. breakfast was fresh and plentiful, with lots of choices. staff were so friendly and helpful.

The location was perfect, just a short walk to Waverley Station. The charming environment really added to our stay.

It was just a balanced option for a break on long journey in Edinburgh with fantastic value for money. The full Scottish breakfast was a great start to the day, served with a warm smile. Check parking options nearby to avoid hassles during the week.
