Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Menzies Guest House is generally considered a comfortable and clean place to stay, with many guests appreciating its convenient location close to Haymarket and within walking distance of the city centre - even with children. The rooms are equipped with useful amenities like kettles and some have adapters and hair dryers; a few guests found the ensuite bathrooms quite small. You'll also find shops and restaurants a short walk away, and some rooms offer plenty of natural light from big windows.

The beds had a lot of comfort. Mattresses really did impress.

The bathroom sink suffered from a blockage, I noticed. Cleanliness was not great. I also did not like how difficult it was to find someone for check-in, it required a phone call to the owner and I had to wait.
