About Emerald Guest House
Emerald Guest House is a sizeable property on Drum Street, Edinburgh, with 50 rooms that give it more the feel of a small hotel than a typical guest house. It's a practical base for exploring the city, with Edinburgh Zoo among the local points of interest within reach.
Guests have access to a restaurant and bar on site, along with breakfast, free WiFi and air conditioning. Luggage storage is available for those arriving early or leaving late, and the property also has meeting rooms and hosts weddings, making it as suited to events as to overnight stays. Free on-site parking is a useful bonus for anyone travelling by car.
Beyond the property itself, the surrounding area offers further pubs, bars and restaurants within easy reach. Ratings for Emerald Guest House sit around the middle of the scale, reflecting a solid, no-frills stay rather than a luxury one.
What guests say
Bed comfy, sheets etc clean. Headboard dirty. TV remote disgustingly dirty. When we got there were told it wouldn't be possible to be given breakfast as workmen had not turned up so dining area unfinished! Alternative of 'Morrison' s' given! Off road parking is a single drive so if there is more than one car, could pose problematic in morning when guests checking out at different times. We couldn't park on it as it 'wasn't finished' so had to park in the street. When we checked out at 7.45am after 2 night's stay, we had to ring the bell. The woman appeared on her dressing gown looking very dishevelled. She asked how many night's we'd stayed! She did knock money off for the lack of breakfast but really?! No way to run a B and B! 1 star is generous!

This is the 2nd time I’ve stayed at this guest house, the landlady couldn’t do enough for us, she is very friendly and helpful as are all the staff. The rooms are lovely and very comfortable with lovely onsuite shower room. The breakfast was excellent with plenty of choice. It is very central with a bus stop right outside into Edinburgh. I will certainly be going back for more visits.

Spent one night in Emerald Guest House with my boyfriend. The place is easily accessible by bus or by car, bus stop is just in front of the house. We found our room and the whole house neat and tidy and very well equipped. Breakfast was amazing, great range of choice served in a lovely conservatory. Would definitely recommend Emerald House!

Do not book this place!! We arrived and nobody opened! After hard knocking at the door an old lady opened, clearly drunk, and told us she cannot have guests because she does not feel very well. We booked months before and were not informed about it. She told us she booked us in another house, Motel-style without breakfast. Had to pay again. Very sad and disappointing.
