What guests liked
The property is close to various neighborhood restaurants and shops within walking distance. (4 reviews)
It was a great spot, with a 15 minute walk into the Royal Mile. It was close to restaurants. The room was big enough for the 3 of us. The owner was very nice and helpful. We were given fresh towels each morning and we would stay again.

Helpful host and lovely old period building. You get what it says on the tin and that's perfectly fine. If you want a swanky boutique hotel in central Edinburgh, then book one, this is a good old fashioned B&B. Id 100% stay again, that's the best recommendation. Thnaks.

Our stay at Menzie's was everything we wished for: nice and big rooms with all you need, good location (lots to explore around, but also good access to bus stations) and all of that for a very reasonable price. We really enjoyed our stay.

Menzie's is a great place to stay. The room we had was comfortable and reasonably priced.
A nice simple guesthouse to stay in Edinburgh that is close to good amenities that are walkable and close to bus routes. Friendly owner who went out of his way to allow us an earlier check in as we needed a jet lag nap and our flight had been changed.

Area was lovely and quiet and walkable from city centre, noticed a few features of the room broken/missing and a little outdated, however it served its purpose for our trip

The owner communicated and checked in on us of when we were coming. Was at the door waiting for us and assisted on where we were staying.
Make sure if you are staying here to get an on suite restroom if you do not want to share restrooms with anyone else.
Will stay there again when we come back to visit.

Our room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. Bathroom was very small, hairdryer didn't work, coffee/tea was on the floor.
Very quiet neighborhood, walking distance to lots of stores. Restaurants, sites.

Charming typical Scottish one small bedroom but clean - someone’s house so not quiet!
