    positive:

    Exemplary service provided

    The customer service delivered by the Elder York Guest House has generated plaudits from essentially all past guests. From keeping the rooms spotlessly clean to offering to help in carrying luggage up the stairs, the service provided by the guest house is said to be virtually faultless.

    positive:

    Within walking distance of most attractions

    The location of the guest house was often seen as ideal for getting around the Edinburgh city centre. Many popular points of interest, from the Edinburgh Castle to Princes Street, are within walking distance of the accommodation.

    positive:

    First class breakfast

    Many former guests had only positive comments when it came to the full Scottish breakfast served up by the Elder York Guest House. The quality of the breakfast is said to be at a very high level overall.


    Negative Reviews

    negative:

    No elevator available

    The omission of an elevator was a somewhat regular issue for past visitors that stayed at the Elder York Guest House. This is due to the sizeable amount of stairs that are mandatory to go up before getting to the guest house's rooms, which was especially tricky for those with disability problems.

    negative:

    No possible parking on-site

    An understandable problem for some former guests was the lack of on-site parking at the guest house. With that said, public parking options are in close vicinity to the accommodation, which helps to lessen this negative to an extent.

    negative:

    Central location can result in excessive noise

    Whilst the Elder York Guest House's enviable central position in Edinburgh is ideal for getting around the city with ease, it does - according to the feedback of previous visitors - come with a cost: external noise. It has been noted by numerous previous visitors that this noise can go on throughout the day and late into the night.
