I had an excellent stay. Everything was exceptionally clean, and I was welcomed very warmly upon arrival bit also during my whole stay. Hospitality 10/10. The bed was very comfortable, and all the amenities were great. The breakfast was simple but more than enough to start the day. Overall, a wonderful experience — highly recommended! Location is so close to bus stop if you don't want to take beautiful opportunity of walking to city centre on the Water of Leith Walkway

The House is beautiful and very special. James and Olga are just lovely and so helpful, but let us have enough personal space and privacy. The bed was very comfortable, we slept like babies. We also really enjoyed the delicious breakfast.

The guest house was in a great location. Next to the bus station, 5 minutes away from Waverley station. Our room was clean with firm comfy beds, exactly as we requested. Murray, our host, was helpful and polite, and looked after us so well. Our room had a great view from the windows. The breakfast was lovely. The rooms were quieter than I had expected given the location.

Good guest house that provides the comfort you expect on a city trip. Good location in a nice and quiet neighborhood. Public transport available in the area and the city centre a reasonable twenty minutes walk away. Friendly management.

Breakfast was terrific and was a bespoke breakfast, cooked to order. Nothing was too much trouble and the food was plentiful. All staff - Dave, Ian, Stephen and Jane- were welcoming and helpful and accommodated individual requests. It's a couple of miles from city centre, but this makes it a quiet location and there is a bus stop directly opposite the guesthouse with regular buses into the centre.

Mayfair Guest House is really well located, just minutes from the Balfour Street tram stop. The room was spacious and had everything we needed including tea/coffee and towels. I had my apprehensions about sharing a bathroom, but the downstairs bathroom was really clean. The host was welcoming when we arrived and showed us where things were. The room was also very quiet. I would recommend this to travellers who are looking for somewhere comfortable and don't mind that it is basic.
