An absolute gem of a guest house

My room and bed was very comfortable. There is also a reception room with lots of lovely touches, such as breakfast items, toaster, microwave and various books and games.
Alison, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We had a lovely stay at 4 Friends House. The communication beforehand was great and we received a very friendly welcome. Our room was a good size, well-equipped and was very clean. There are very good transport connections - lots of buses in the vicinity and only a 10/15 minute walk to the shore at Leith. There is a Coop opposite if you need anything and they provide bread, cereal, fruit and a few other essentials for breakfast if you'd like it. If you prefer something hot there are several cafés nearby. Would definitely stay again. Great value for Edinburgh - highly recommended!

We stayed here on our 1st trip to Scotland and could not have had a better place to stay in Edinburgh. The owners were so helpful and knowledgeable. They helped us with bus & train schedules, keeping our luggage after checkout, and even finding our lost cell phone! The room was clean & comfy! Would definitely stay here again!

Tadeusz, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great welcome from a very friendly and knowledgeable young man. Lovely relaxed atmosphere. The traffic was loud day and at night, we were given ear plugs but they weren’t particularly useful against the noise. That is the only negative, beautiful house , well presented and everything is thought of.
Antonina, 5-night trip

What an amazing stay. Sylvia and Lukas were so wonderful and went above and beyond to make sure my stay was relaxing and enjoyable. As a solo traveller it’s always a concern finding safe comfortable accomodation. 4 friends delivered beyond expectation. Room was gorgeous. Bed super comfy. Highly recommend this wonderful guest house. Convenient location with buses at doorstep.
