Positive Reviews
positive:
Pleasant guest house in quiet area.
Clan Walker Guest House was popular for its quiet, pleasant atmosphere, since is out of the downtown hubbub, but it is an easy bus ride away from Edinburgh’s attractions, even walkable for some, and close to the Pollock Dormitories for those who are visit
positive:
Charming, clean rooms.
Guests found the rooms to be beautifully decorated, clean, sporting good quality bathrooms and to be overall a charming B&B experience.
positive:
Polite hosts, great breakfast.
The hosts of Clan Walker Guest House are friendly and polite, and aside from lovely service, they make delicious continental and freshly-cooked breakfasts.
Negative Reviews
negative:
A bit overpriced according to some.
A few guests considered the rooms on offer to be overpriced, however this may be more due to high demand at certain times of year rather than a question of general value.
negative:
Road noise possible at front.
There is some noise possible in those guest rooms facing the road, and even though it does not appear to be significant enough to cause big issues, a light sleeper might want to request a room at the rear of the B&B.
negative:
Tiny bit tired.
While most guests found the rooms to be very well-kept, and even modern, a small handful of people thought they could use a touch-up here and there.
