Brae Guest House

  : The place was very welcoming and the room was very spacious and fit our family well. The property was within a short walk of the royal mile which was great.
  : The washroom in the room was very small and the shower was dirty. The dining room was quite small and it was a continental style breakfast.

Pleasant
Traveller Type: with friends
  : The staff were nice and the location was right next to a bus stop, so convenient access to downtown Edinburgh. Nice tea and decent options for breakfast.
  : The shower didn't drain almost at all in our room. There were hooks on the walls but no art, an easy fix with just some thrift store art. Breakfast was continental style with some fresh options, but the fresh options were cold almost immediately after coming out. They are definitely trying, but they could really make the B&B a lot better with just a few minor upgrades.

  : The overall impression of style and comfort has met my expectations. I was contacted by the host in advance to explain the details of how to get into the house, in case nobody was present. Both the room and the bathroom (separate from the room but private) were clean and pleasant, all the facilities working and an extra supply of toiletries waiting to be used. The staff ready to help and smiley. The breakfast sufficient and included in the price. The potato pancakes for breakfast surprised me - very tasty!
  : The only problem with the room was a bit of noise (the window had to be open due to the heat) - I did not mind the cars but a person yelling in the street in the middle of the night woke me up scared. As there is no personal reception area, it would be convenient to leave a bit more info - eg. whether there is an access to a common fridge or washing machine. I would appreciate a bigger choice of maps of the Edinburgh area to borrow or buy, tram and bus info.
