Nice room in guest house
We had a room that looked out over the main road. It gets a little stuffy at night, so we had to open the windows. This made it rather noisy, but otherwise it's a good place to stay. It's clean, comfortable, and walking distance from most things.

Very good location, easy access to transportation, area safe and walkable. Would like to have had a shelf in the shower to hold shampoo/soap, etc. A chair in the room would have been nice.

The hotel was ideally situated for us as we were travelling on a budget and don't mind walking or using public transport. The room was clean & tidy, and it had everything we needed. The host is welcoming and friendly.

Had an excellent 4days 3 night
We had a great time staying here. It was clean, there were freebies like teas, coffee, shampoo and conditioner.. There towels and blow dryer as well and water heater. There were nice and accommodating I highly recommend it.. Also, they allowed us to leave out luggages for awhile after our check out time to enjoy the rest of the day.

Edinburgh is a relatively expensive city for accommodation, so I assume Blossom Guest House is in line with its cost. There was no breakfast. The room (family) was provided free, when I had booked an ordinary double room. My only negative concerns the provision of a small table and one chair, which was awkward for dining. The hosts were friendly, but I was surprised to be told shortly before checkout that the time to leave was between 10am to 11am.
