Nice and quiet place, comfortable bed, very friendly and helpful owner (he stored my luggage and called a private hire car for airport as it was cheaper than Uber). I'd definitely book again.
Location is not next to the city center and the tourist attractions. If it is not raining and you do not have issues with walking then it is nice 25 min stroll, so I was ok with the location but your mileage may vary. There are plenty of buses travelling by the next street. The room was fairly small, but that seems to be standard for guest houses in Scotland. No breakfast available, but there are cafes nearby.

A beautiful old place in one of the most quiet streets of Edinburgh - the room had everything I needed, and was a great place to relax after a long day walking around the city. Separate thanks to the host which was very helpful at all times:)
The place is a bit old, as were the appliances (which, mind you, were all in working condition) - at one point I had to google how to use the shower head which was about my age:) A small refresh of the room would be great I think

An absolutely lovely B&B in Elgin. The hosts are kind and attentive and easy to chat with. Our room was comfortable, clean, and quiet. The location is about a 10 minute walk from the center, but we selected it for its convienence and free parking. Breaksfasts were an absolutely wonderful start to the day. Overall, a great value for the money charged and a very enjoyable stay.

We loved our stay at Capital Guest House. The place was really cosy and comfortable and the host was extremely welcoming and kind, he was super helpful and gave us a lot of useful tips and advice about visiting the city. He let us leave the suitcases under his supervision even after checkout time so we didn't have to carry them around during our last day in the city. We will surely be back next time we are in Edinburgh!
There was nothing I didn't like about my stay. Everything was perfect!

The property was overall clean, beds were comfortable and the provision of tea, coffee and milk with biscuits was a nice touch. It was quiet, good location to all local transport, shops and a short journey either walking or by public transport to city centre and Portobello beach. Owner was helpful, very friendly and welcoming.
tv kept glitching and external private bathroom the door kept sticking difficult to open quite temperamental.

This is really the first hotel I have seen that looks worse on internet pictures than in real life! I had booked this hotel only because of its first-class price and arrived without any expectations and was then so positively surprised! Sure, the rooms are old, but so clean and cozy, it is cleaned every day and coffee / tea and cookies refilled! In addition, the landlord is outstandingly nice and trying to make the stay as comfortable as possible! I have already recommended this accommodation to all my acquaintances, because I have rarely felt directly so "home" as in this accommodation! Very strong recommendation on my part!
Nothing!

Nice location with easy access to Waverley station, and the historic city centre about 20 minutes away via the numerous nearby buses. We had a quiet room and were not bothered by traffic. Rooms were clean, plenty of towels provided, and high ceilings meant they were airy. Very friendly host.
It doesn't have the latest decor, there is no common lounge area and no breakfast is provided, but actually that wasn't a problem.

The room was small but clean and well appointed.
I think it would be good to take out some of the furniture in the room so there would be more room to move about.

The host could not have been more accommodating. Directions to hotel were a bit confusing, but wasn’t set up w gps yet. Lengthy ride from airport on buses, but cheap. Suggest taxi; more expensive but reasonable. Very clean and quiet, great coffee service in room. Bathroom was fine but toilet handle stopped working. Easy access to buses.Nice pubs and cafes in area; grocery close by.
What was expected.

We had the quadruple room, it was a lovely room with an en-suite bathroom, it was spacy and comfortable. I liked the big window and the sofa, there was also a table with supplies for coffee and tea. There was a tv as well but we didn't use it. The location is lovely, quiet and very close to Holyrood Park, but it's quite a long walk from the center so we took a bus or used Uber. The owner was very nice and helpful.
It's a shame that there was no breakfast option, but there's a little cafe right across the road so that was comfortable. There was no shampoo in the bathroom so we asked the owner for some. The wardrobe door creaked when it was closed, we left it open at night.
