NETHERBY GUEST HOUSE EDINBURGH, Edinburgh

The guest house is on a main road with direct bus routes 100 and 200 to the airport (stop within a 5-7 minute walk) and buses 18 or 31 to the city centre in about 15 minutes. The tram station is about 25 minutes on foot, so the bus is the more practical option. A taxi to the airport costs roughly £25. The Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh is 23 minutes away by car. Restaurants such as Lucky Chen, Chinese Manor House, and McDonald's are within a 5-10 minute walk, and a Lidl supermarket is adjacent.

Room sizes vary significantly: some larger rooms (e.g., the Double Room with Patio) offer more space and a king-size bed plus sofa bed, while budget doubles can be very compact and dimly lit. Several rooms are on the ground floor or basement level. Heating is provided, but some rooms rely on a small electric heater if the main system is not working. Noise from the main road and from footsteps above is common, particularly in front-facing rooms. Rooms at the rear or with patio access tend to be quieter. There are rooms with a separate single bed or pull-up double bed, useful for small groups. No balcony is available. The room with a patio provides separate external access through the back garden.

There is no restaurant or bar on site. Several restaurants and takeaways are within a 5-10 minute walk, including Lucky Chen, Chinese Manor House, Prana Edinburgh, and McDonald's. A Lidl supermarket is adjacent, ideal for picking up supplies. The self-serve breakfast items (cereal, milk, tea, coffee) are available in rooms that include them, but no cooked breakfast or hot meal is offered.

Leisure facilities are limited to the on-site garden. There is no swimming pool, spa, or wellness centre. Edinburgh Zoo is 2 km away, and the city centre attractions (Edinburgh Castle, Royal Mile) are 6-7 km away, reachable by bus. Nearby restaurants and a supermarket provide options for evening dining.

The property offers free private parking directly on site without the need for a reservation. High-speed WiFi (238 Mbps) is free and suitable for streaming 4K content and video calls. Luggage storage is available before check-in and after check-out, allowing hands-free exploration. Security features include CCTV in common areas and outside, fire extinguishers, and smoke alarms. There is no restaurant, bar, spa, swimming pool, or business centre. The property is non-smoking throughout, and pets are not allowed. Self-check-in with a door code provides flexible access; on-site staff can be contacted via phone or doorbell if needed.
