Cute little B&B

If you want to get away from the touristy vibes of Edinburgh this is a cozy little spot in Leith. Close to all transportation and a short bike ride away from the beach...with that being said the seagulls in the area would not stop squawking even into the night time hours

Quaint house, quiet street - easy access to centre

The guest house is located in a quiet residential area a block away from a commercial road and easily accesible to/from the city centre. The bus stops are right in front of the house and it only takes 15 mins to get to the centre. The house is nicely decorated and very clean. The room we got was spot on with everyting needed. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom looked newly renovated. Ms. Margaret (host) is wonderful and very eager to help with anything you might need.

Lovely weekend stay

Antler Guest House was ideally located for our weekend stay in Leith. The No. 11 bus put us practically at the door and having the tram nearby was great. There are loads of places to eat and drink nearby. We liked the Brunswick Book Club with its heated outside terrace and La Casa (although the latter isn’t ideal for people with hearing difficulties - all hard surfaces means it’s incredibly noisy, but the food was very nice). Shirley and Margaret are great hosts who took time to make sure we had everything we needed. The house in general is lovely and our room was very impressive, beautifully decorated and with some really thoughtful touches. My husband in particular enjoyed the ‘wee dram’ that was provided and the information folder was very helpful. For me I was very happy to find there was a proper hairdryer provided, which would save me having to pack my own in future. Thanks for a lovely stay. We would definitely return.

Lovely and peaceful

Shirley and Margaret were lovely hosts! The room is so cute, the place is very clean, and it was quiet and comfortable. It’s on a quiet street away from the festivities of Old Town but close enough to easily catch an Uber or bus. The #11 bus runs right in front of the guest house and takes you to Princes St where it’s an easy walk to everything. Buses are easy to take, tap your credit card and have a seat- no tickets required. There were small two cafes nearby we went for breakfast, Kukina and Bonnington Brunch and a nearby pub (Brass Monkey) that had really good Philly Cheesesteak, burgers (and other stuff) for an easy bite when we had a long day. Theres also a laundromat by Kukina and Brass Monkey that was convenient but I recommend getting there when they open, it is small and washers filled up quick the day I went. The only issue we had, and for me more of an inconvenience, was I booked on hotels.com and selected pay at hotel. Please select pay online through hotels.com or whoever you book through. The ladies are not set up to accept credit card payments. I had to pull out cash. I called my bank asked for an increase in ATM withdrawals and paid that way. I would rather not done it that way and thought hotels.com shouldn’t offer pay at the hotel option for this one so just make it easy pay online. This place is such a gem!! Definitely book it!

Lovely place but parking an issue.

Very well presented rooms in a great location. Quiet at night too, which is a bonus. Couple of issues for us, I had booked the superior room with two singles and a double, but room was actually a double with a very small single bed in an ante-room. Although the description says free on-street parking, this isn't accurate and we were advised that parking at John Lewis might be a good option, despite that being a 25 minute walk away. Did find free parking close by, but it is only free after 5.30 and before 8.30, so had to wait to go back to the guesthouse and leave early to avoid getting a ticket.

Confortável com localização excelente

Localização excelente (com ponto de onibus em frente para ir e voltar de old city), limpeza, staff atencioso, quarto espaçoso e bastante confortável. Como pontos de melhoria posso citar o box que é um pouco apertado e falta um frigobar. Falta acessibilidade para pessoas que tenham alguma dificuldade de locomoção pois o acesso aos quartos é por escada, o que para mim nao foi um problema, mas pode ser uma limitação para alguém. Infelizmente passei por uma situação desconfortável, meu namorado colocou um casaco em cima de um móvel, porém durante a arrumação do quarto acredito que o mesmo foi guardado dentro do armário. Quando fomos embora, nao revistamos o armário, pois nao havíamos colocado nada lá. Resultado, só percebemos a falta dele quando chegamos no nosso próximo destino, enviei um email solicitando o envio para onde estávamos, o que nao ocorreu, depois ficaram de enviar para o Brasil, e até agora nada. Já enviei email novamente questionando, pedindo o código de rastreio, mas nao tive resposta. Vai completar 1 mês que estou no aguardo.
