Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Simon was a most gracious host - got us safely parked, checked in, & instructed on bus routes to the Royal Mile. Our room was the 4 poster - very spacious & clean, nice bathroom, and most comfortable bed & pillows. Our breakfasts were wonderful, and he took great care of my wife's gluten free needs. Would definitely stay here again when visiting Edinburgh!

I can highly recommend the Lauderville Guest House in Edinburgh. It's about a 30 minute walk to City Centre, but there is a bus about a 5 minute walk from guest house. Customer service is phenomenal. Simon was ready to please and make your stay enjoyable and relaxing. The shower was powerful and enough hot water. My single room was tight but enough room to turn around without bumping into things. Same for bathroom. Shower was a decent size and I can get in and out no problem. There was noise from the road, but nothing that kept me awake at all hours of the night. Breakfast was good. Minimum continental fare, but a small selection of hot food like scrambled eggs and French toast. Just have to order it the day prior. It's cooked to serve. Breakfast served only from 0800 to 0900, but there was no rush for guests to eat and leave. No takeout allowed in rooms was surprising. However, from the cleanliness of the room and the on-housekeeping service, that's understandable. Two small things to address: #1: Wi-Fi in my room was very spotty. Nothing major, but did cause a bit of a gripe when I had to send a business report. #2: I would've like to have a small luggage rack or small suitcase stand to put my suitcase on. Not a major issue, just a small thing so I don't have use the chair or place my suitcase on the bed. My single room was tight, so I can understand not having one, but something to consider if a small stand can be placed in the room.

I have stayed here several times, and I keep coming back. The house is lovely; the rooms are tastefully decorated and have all the amenities you may need. I book the cozy single room, with en-suite. The shower is the best ever! The hosts are friendly and helpful. There are many options for breakfast, served by the affable host Simon. The house is located in a quiet neighborhood, with a deli and a coffee shop right up the street. There are frequent buses to the city center. If you prefer to walk, it is about a 30 minute walk to the center of town. If you require a quiet day in, there is a lounge room for reading and a garden for relaxing.

Simon's warm and discrete hospitality, breakfast freshly cooked by his mum, extremely nice rooms complete with kettle and cups, a nice bathroom with a shower with an unusually decent waterpressure 😄! This stay was short, but nevertheless an absolute delight.

A conveniently located spot, 35 minute walk to the Royal Mile, this B&B was lovely but our room was puny. It had all of the amenities but no space. Even with carry-on luggage, we could hardly move around the bed. Breakfast was nice and Simon was helpful.

Located in a quiet neighborhood with frequent bus service to the city center. My single room was quiet and comfortable, with an en-suite. The shower was the best I’ve ever experienced! The hosts are friendly and helpful. There is a garden off the reception room where you can relax and listen to the birds. I will definitely be back.

the whole place is very clean. the breakfasts are great and a good choice. staff/owners are very friendly. private parking to the rear, good internet. This is an ideal place for singles or couples. It is a half hour walk into Edinburgh or a short bus ride.

Pleasant and comfortable room. Excellent breakfast choices. The friendly and welcoming host made every effort for us, including good advice on the local amenities. Within reasonable walking distance of the town and close to bus routes if preferred.

My husband & I spent three nights here in early September and it was lovely! We booked room 7. First floor , facing the street but no traffic noise at night ever. Room is very large and well appointed with a fabulous,modern bath. Full, delicious breakfast included. Location is nicely removed from city center but that city center is easily accessible by bus or cab. Had a terrific dinner at Wildfire (cab required) and took a nice drive (approximately 1.5 hrs) to St. Andrews. Unfortunately we arrived on the day of Her Majesty’s passing and the castle,yatch,zoo etc. closed. But we did still see a lot of Edinburgh via bus. Simon was our host and could not have been nicer!
