My recent stay at Queens Guest House was good. The location was perfect, a mere 10-minute walk from the city center and attractions like Edinburgh Castle. The room was spacious and immaculate, though I did find it a bit too warm for my liking. The staff were incredibly friendly and made my stay even better, although I encountered a bit of noise from a neighboring room. Overall, I would definitely recommend this haven for anyone visiting Edinburgh.

My stay at Queens Guest House was a mix of positives and negatives. The room I had, while spacious and nicely decorated, felt quite claustrophobic without any real windows. The location was fantastic, making it easy to explore the city. but I did have my share of minor inconveniences with the tea supplies. Overall, a pleasant stay but not quite what I expected from a four-star experience.

I stayed for two nights at Queens Guest House and overall, it was a lovely experience. The location is spot-on, just a 10-minute walk from the main streets, which made exploring so easy. My room was spacious and clean, though it did get a bit warm at night. Breakfast was good with plenty of options, but I wish there had been croissants! Definitely a solid choice for anyone visiting Edinburgh.
