About Brae Guest House
Mornings at Brae Guest House start properly, with a full Scottish breakfast served before guests head out into Edinburgh. It's a small, unpretentious set-up with just five rooms, each with an en-suite bathroom, free WiFi and drinks available to enjoy in the room, and there's 24 hour reception for those coming and going at odd hours.
The rooms themselves are simple rather than showy, the kind of place that suits guests who want a comfortable base rather than a fussy hotel experience. Outside, a garden terrace gives a bit of space to sit when the weather allows, a welcome extra for a guest house of this size.
Willowbrae Road puts guests within reach of Edinburgh Zoo, and Edinburgh Waverley station is about two miles away, making the city centre an easy trip. There are pubs, restaurants and eateries nearby for evening plans, along with walking areas, and further afield golf, fishing and watersports for those wanting to range beyond the city.
What guests say
I loved my stay at this nice and cozy guesthouse. The proprietor was very kind and replenished anything we asked for. The room was bright and clean. Couldn’t ask for a better location since it was away from the tourists and close to the beach, right next to Arthur’s Seat. We were in an emergency situation, and he was kind enough to call us a taxi to the emergency room and was overall very caring. Given the chance, I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again. The only other thing I would say is that we got a triple room but only had two people. It might be tight with three people. Still, great for the price.

I don’t think this guest house should exist in this century. We got the room 4. Lets talk about the house: 1. One double bed and two single beds. (very old and not quite good.) 2. Very old model TV where you can’t enjoy any OTT or screen share. 3. Very old table with a chair but no mirror. 4. Single door wardrobe with no mirror. 5. Electric cattle and cup but no cutlery in the room. No Oven or kitchen area. (So you can’t heat up any food. Noisy old fridge. 6. No heating control, the owner will control the heating when he wants. 7. Old bathroom, old mirror with lot of spots and no toilet brush. 8. No charging point near bed. 9. One bed lights were broken and to bright yellow light that can make headaches. You have to get utensils from outside of the room. Location is okay, near bus stop and easy to access. Overall bad experience, I think the owner is just looking for the money and not providing the services that is needed. Not recommended.

Very good Guest House and communication from Kadum, who was happy to help with an issues or questions. Stayed in the room for 3 people and it was very clean and comfortable as well as being reasonably priced. Right by bus stop or a £10 uber to centre of Edinburgh. Would stay again!

It was very good with a simple way into the city with a bus stop literally across the road. The rooms were very clean and it was nicely compact without feeling cramped. The shower water was extremely adjustable but it did take a short minute to heat up and turn on and off after pressing the button. There were also only 3 plug sockets all surrounding the desk.
