"good customer service"

We were made very welcome and were given good advice about transport, restaurants and such in the area. Also with help printing off out boarding passes for return flights, would recommend this establishment.

We were warmly welcomed by our host who was so helpful and friendly. Our room was clean and comfortable enough. The Victorian era home is charming. Breakfast was delicious and the B & B was located for easy access to the sights. The on street parking is stressful in Edinburgh!

"a very good place to stay"

warming guest house, very well-situated, near the tram and the railwail station Haymarket, directly to and from the airport and directly to and from the inner city. You can walk to theaters placed near Lothian street, it`s 20mn walking. The breakfast is very good, a very good welcome and rooms are very cosy, bref ! une adresse à recommander !!

"Excellent location near Haymarket tram and train stops, walking distance to town centre. "

Friendly welcome, overall pleased but some attention / updating is needed to the bathroom facilities for our room.

Ideal location - just round the corner from Haymarket station but not noisy. Everyone very friendly. A couple of criticisms: room could have been cleaner (drawers and fridge needing wiped out), bed linen was "tired" and breakfast was nothing to write home about.

""Little Gem?" - not!"

This place was the epitome of a cheap hotel in every sense. The clock in reception was an hour fast, and the review score of 8 on the desk was two years out of date. The chairs in the dining room had no padding, and the place settings were really narrow.. The toilet seat in our loo was coming off its hinges and there was no peg to hang your nightgown on. The floor in our bedroom creaked like a haunted house. The shower was tiny. However, the service was helpful and very friendly.

"Well run guest house in good location, 20 minutes walk from Princes Street and main station."

We enjoyed our stay at the St Valery Guest House. We had a large ground floor room with 3 beds, shower and toilet and good choice at breakfast. The guesthouse is in a quiet street at the edge of New Town, with Haymarket Station and good bus and tram stops all near by, plus a range of good restaurants. We would recommend this guest house to anyone who wants a friendly and well run place to stay that is better value than accommodation available in the town centre.

"clean, warm and friendly guesthouse."

Clean, warm and friendly guesthouse. I booked the single room which was actually a small double and more spacious than I expected. Shower water pressure was great. Would be happy to stay here again.

"Overnight stay very pleasant to attend a meeting "

Friendly welcome on arrival at 7.30pm and detailed info on dining room, hot drinks machine and room which was clean and fresh with a huge bed! Facilities in room were good. I was given info on where I could get something to eat nearby and as it was raining was given an umbrella. Nice touch. Breakfast was freshly cooked and set me up for the day. The morning staff were also very pleasant. Would like to stay here again perhaps longer next time!

"Golden Ambience - "

Probably the most friendliest staff I have come across! Super clean rooms and a hearty Scottish breakfast that would sate any healthy appetite - Will be back for Auld Reekie in August - well worth a booking - Philip & Jane...

"Charming traditional guesthouse"

A lovely guest house only 15 minutes walk from the centre. Very friendly owners and good clean accommodation. The 4 bed room worked perfectly for us and our 2 young children. Breakfast was great for the rest of hte family although a couple more veggie options on the cooked would have been nice for me!

"Exceptionally friendly and helpful staff"

My room was huge for just me but I was very happy with it. The tiles on the bathroom floor have sunk and are a bit rough for your feet. Everything clean and well presented. Loved the access to constant lattee`s in the dining area. Bed comfy. Loved the way the safe operated. Could not get Wi-Fi connection in my room but free access all day & night in dining area so did not matter.

The room is large and clean. Love the breakfast. Very delicious.Only the basin in the bathroom has a little problem that the water doesn`t go down soon enough. The tube must have been blocked someway.All in all. We enjoyed our staying there very much.
