We booked in a bit of a hurry but understood we were being accommodated in the "annex", we are not fussy or hard to please and can do "budget", don't mind that older places are a bit dated and tired looking BUT what I cannot deal with is poor hygiene the place really did need a good scrub and the...

I have just returned from my 5th stay at valentines and as always it was a fantastic stay. The owners are friendly helpful and welcoming. It's become almost like a home from home. The rooms here are of a high standard,comfortable and clean. The breakfasts are lovely with a huge variety and no request is a problem.

From the moment we arrived the staff were friendly and helpful, nothing was a problem. The room (number 14) was big with a 4 poster bed, sofa, arm chair and plenty of storage space. It had a large flat screen tv, mp3 dock, tea and coffee making facilities. No iron or ironing board but these are avaiable upon request. The... More

My wife and I stayed here for a number of days in May. We found the staff to be really helpful and friendly. It's a great location with Edinburgh's main attractions only 15 minutes walk away. There's a regular bus service (the number 10) to and from the city, that stops right outside. With a bus link to the airport... More

My wife and I stayed here for 3 nights (2,3 & 4 May 2013). Its very easy to get to. We got a bus direct from Edinburgh Airport and it dropped us off 10 minutes walk from Valentines. As we were scheduled to arrive late, Rob had sent us instructions on how to get into the 'safe-box' in order to... More

My husband and I stayed for 2 nights at the Valentine City Centre Guesthouse and couldn't have wished for better. Our hosts were extremely friendly, the four poster bed room we stayed in was pure luxury and the breakfast was very tasty. The location was excellent for getting to the old and new town and there are great bus links... More

This guest selected a one night weekend stay through booking.com, the site makes it very clear that there is a budget option and describes the location of the annex.... More
