Hospitality includes a lovely welcome.
Throughout the entire accommodation visitors will find personnel that are very friendly and easy to get along with. One of the goals of this accommodation is to create an atmosphere where people can feel totally relaxed in, and the staff does an excellent job of making that happen.
positive:
In a great, central location.
Martin’s Guest House benefits from a very central location which allows tourists to easily reach many of Edinburgh’s most popular highlights within a short walk. For people unable to do much sightseeing on foot, the bus stop outside the accommodation is well located on a bus route that takes people into the heart of the capital in a handful of minutes.
positive:
Individual rooms are top notch.
Each of the rooms at Martin’s Guest House are beautifully decorated and modernised to exceed expectations. Not only are the rooms designed with precision, but are clean to a high standard which illustrates that the owners care about providing a great service.
Negative Reviews
negative:
En suite facilities are not the greatest.
One area in dire need of attention is the private bathrooms. Guests report the facilities are small and hard to manoeuvre in, as well as not being very functional as water pressure issues affect the use of sinks and showers.
negative:
Guests struggle with a sporadic Wi-Fi signal.
Travellers of all kinds that want to stay connected will want to take note of the finicky Wi-Fi signal at Martin’s Guest House. Common areas, such as the dining room, have a fairly reliable signal while the individual guestrooms are often hit-and-miss with coverage.
negative:
Very limited parking is available onsite.
While the guesthouse does offer a private parking lot for guest use, the area is relatively small and inadequate to supply every person with a spot; leaving many guests to have to utilize public spaces to park their vehicle.
