David was awesome. The rooms were great. Very easy access into the town center. Excellent Scottish Breakfast. 10 out of 10, would recommend!
The hosts were very helpful and the property was quite comfortable. Our room was cozy (as advertised and not a surprise), the breakfast was wonderful and the dining room was lovely. The walls were a bit thin, however, and you could hear the guests in the adjoining rooms. Nonetheless, I would stay here again.
Very quaint, fit in well with the surrounding neighborhood. Good breakfasts, friendly staff, bus route to Princes St was 50 feet from the front door.
Only issue was the shower, which didn’t have much pressure on the 3rd floor and only warmed up to slightly warm (although the tap water was hot as you please). A small nit, overall it was a great place to stay for 4 nights and see the many sights of Edinburgh!
A very nice location to spend a few days in Edinburgh.
Great place to stay in Edinburgh
Enjoyed our stay, is an older property but well taken care of, a reminder of a similar older property we visited in Montreal. Very friendly and helpful owner. A little ways away from the Old Town but had a bus stop only a minute away to get you right down to Princes Street.
lynne.partnerJun 01, 2024 The staff were really helpful. Nothing too much trouble including giving us use of a shed for our cycles. Great breakfasts. One very small thing in the room the shower head kept falling down.
Such a lovely place to stay for a weekend stay in the city. The daily breakfast was a huge plus and was made to your liking. The room was nice and quaint with a comfortable bed. Highly recommend when in the city even if a little off the path from the touristy areas
Small room and somewhat dated decor; the shower was poor. I did have thecsmallest and cheapest room.
However, a really comfortable bed and crisp bedding. The staff were fantastic, proper old school attentive and friendly. The breakfast was excellent and freshly cooked for you. My son is a student and lives in Edinburgh, I asked if he could join me for breakfast. Not only did they say yes, they said there was no charge - how nice is that? I used this as a scouting visit to see if I will come again with my wife. It's a resounding yes! I highly recommend this hotel, special thanks to David and all the staff for making my stay so pleasant.
It's clean, got good bus service outside the front door (no 11 to Princes Street), brilliant staff and a proper Scottish breakfast.
Host was very informative about the area with suggestions about restaurant options and bus transportation available (2 stops within steps of the front door). Walked me to my room and informed me of its quirks.
Room was cozy and quiet; I did not mind being on the third floor at all. Easy access in and out of the hotel from the street with a special key. Included breakfast made to order from the menu was delicious.
Fabulous stay with the best of hosts
Fabulous stay with the most thoughtful host and friendly staff. Nothing was too much trouble. We were comfortable in a large, quiet room with a great bed and pleasant street view. The location was fabulous. We caught the number 11 bus which runs frequently into the city centre. We walked to the Royal Botanic Gardens and then up to Edinburgh Castle in Easter morning. My daughter is hoping to study in Edinburgh and I wouldn’t stay anywhere else unless there was no availability at A-Haven. We really appreciated the vegan extras at breakfast and vegan Easter chocolates. A perfect stay.
andrew.partnerSep 08, 2023 Wonderful stay here. Lovely old townhouse in a good location for the Cuty Centre and Leith, by bus. Comfortablw room, shower a little difficult to get right but good. Full Scottish breakfast amaxing.
The host was very helpful with our plans during our visit. He accommodated us for an extra night when our flight was cancelled at the last minute. The breakfast is superb and freshly cooked to order. The room was clean and comfortable. The hotel is situated on a number of bus routes making easy access to the city centre. Recommended at a good price
David was an excellent host, location was convenient with buses readily available to the centre of the old town. Great breakfast, nothing to complain about.
michael.familyJun 19, 2023 David and staff are outstanding hosts! The rooms are clean and comfortable, and breakfast tasty and offers good choice. We walked to downtown along a quiet path next to a creek, and found great restaurants 20 minutes away. We highly recommend A Haven!
The property manager/owner was very kind and helpful. We did not like the tv as it was not loud enough and subtitle option did not work.
Room was very comfortable, breakfast generous and location was close enough to walk to tourist attractions if able bodied. If not public transport was available.
peter.partnerOct 30, 2022 Nice staff, good breakfasts very comfortable
Great hosts, great Scottish Breakfast. Secure onsite parking. I had a room on the top floor so the water pressure in the shower wasn’t great but all in all a comfortable stay within touching reach of everything i needed.
This is a lovely house run by lovely people. Our only 1 little gripe, bottom sheet on bed - did not fit. I am a restless sleeper so had to keep pulling sheet back over bed do not to be sleeping direct on mattress protector...does not take awsy lovely BnB. Would recommend.
