    Such a beautiful space! Comfortable, clean, cozy. And the location was perfect. Near to Rosslyn Chapel and on a super convenient bus line to Edinburgh.

    Very loud toilet flush I'm guessing it is a mascerating toilet but meant we didn't want to use it at night. Next doors bathroom must have been next to the bed as we could hear banging and showering through the wall very clearly. Noone answered the door, we ended up calling and then a man appeared that didn't seem like he was there to see us so we assumed it was another guest. He then asked for a name which we gave and he checked us in but he explained he's not usually the one doing it. We felt like a bit of an inconvenience and it probably would have been better if the usual person was checking us in. Saw noone on the way out. Felt a little odd but not a massive deal. Just a note so that they know that these things can affect people's perception and feeling about the place. It's important when you've paid to stay somewhere that you feel at least somewhat welcome. Didn't try the tea room as the menu didn't appeal.

    Room was amazing!!! Gorgeous, thought we had been upgraded but it was the room we booked. Great location plenty of parking.

    Really clean, very comfortable room with excellent facilities (including tea, coffee, shortbread) and a a classic Scottish trio of Iron Bru, Tunnocks wafer bar and tea cake, brilliant. Stayed here before travelling to a job in Leith at a time when central Edinburgh accommodation all way above normal prices. A much better bet, cheaper, much better quality (than places centrally normally at this sort of price) and close, if travelling by car.

    A little bit pricey, but I assume that’s because of the Edinburgh tattoo this weekend.

    Nice small guest house, cute cafe in the building and a good restaurant just opposite the street. Comfortable room; parking down the street is available.

    It was a bit stuffy, but we're used to AC.

    Our room was quite spacious and very comfortable. It was a bit stuffy, but the windows opened and we had a nice breeze. All of the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. I would recommend Chapel Cross Guesthouse to folks who want to explore Edinburgh but not deal with a city stay.

    It is a bit noisy. Not really anything the team can do to fix, you can hear the busses going by and all the doors opening and shutting from other rooms

    Room was great. Love the extra touches of the tunnocks and ironbru

    Could not turn the heating on when we returned to our room. The radiators were turned on.

    We were upgraded to a lovely bedroom which was very comfortable. The lady that booked us in was very friendly and gave us information on eating and what to do when were leaving. All together it was a lovely experience.

    Arrived after 530 pm. Only one guest card available, so when my husband went down to the car, I was left without lights or power as the card had to be in the power slot in the room.

    Room was comfortable and spacious.

    Bathroom was compact but at least it had a mirror light unlike so many hotels these days. Shame the tearoom wasn't open early enough to provide a breakfast option before we had to leave.

    Beautiful room with a lovely bed and quality pillows. The inn opposite is a great option for dining. Location is perfect for a visit to Rosslyn Chapel - 4 mins walk away.
