Our host, David, could not have been nicer. He was gracious and accommodating with my father who needed a 1st floor room. This is a great Victorian setting and we had a premium room complete with a lovely fire place and suitable for a queen. It had a small couch for sitting and the room was quite large. The breakfast room was charming and the full Scottish breakfast delicious. David was very informative about the local attractions and he was on a bus line. This is a great place to stay if one does not want to be in the middle of all the tourists and yet close enough to get to the town quickly.
Location
We enjoyed visiting the castle, the Royal Ship Brittania and having lunch in their Tea Room, and touring The real Mary Kings Close which is an underground tour in the heart of the city.

Conifers is a pleasant, friendly and well decorated house, the facilities very clean and well kept, and the breakfasts excellent. Reasons for rating it as only "good" include the fact that my single room room was the smallest I have met in this standard of guesthouse, with no table or even shelf adequate for laying out papers, touring literature etc, or to snack from. The house also lacks a guests' lounge, offering only an easy chair in the breakfast room. For such reasons particularly I would not rate The Conifers to be a true "guest house" as normally understood. Additionally, having to share a bathroom is unusual at the price charged, and though sharing was not a problem on this occasion, the bathroom lacked adequate towel rails etc, or any means of identifying and separating personal towels etc.
Location
Location was no problem, though the street is noisy, especially for front rooms. As for Edinburgh itself: this was my first visit after forty years, and despite continuing planning mistakes, especially below and around the Royal Mile (why for example is the new Government Building so inconspicuously tucked away, dwarfed in most views by an incongruously showy sports hall?), the city remains fantastic and wonderful, and even grander than remembered, with a vibrant welcoming atmosphere mostly lacking decades earlier. Particular memories from a too-short stay include the amazing quality of the national art collection, with a wealth of unexpected treasures beautifully presented; the extraordinary stained glass in St Giles Cathedral; the charming and restful oasis of St John's churchyard; the Botanic Gardens; and finally the walkways and cycleways along the canal and River Leith.
I took many photographs, and will be pleased to forward some when I have finished editing and processing them

Very friendly hosts, high level of hospitality. Good food. Comfortable rooms. We've booked at the start and end of our holiday a room. Initially we only booked at the start of our holiday a room.
Location
15 min walk from beautifull centre of Edinburgh. Also bus stop to centre in front of accommodation; so very comfortable to travel within city centre. City has numerous places and buildings to visit; castle, churches, pubs etc.
