They room was comfortable and the bathroom was clean. A good place to rest when you are out and about town and only in to sleep and start over again. The owners were great - very hospitable, welcoming, and kind. The location was great. They are right in front of a bus stop and more 5-8 minutes walk away. They are also close to a variety of restaurants, gas stations, and convenience stores. They are pretty close to the city centre too.
We had a private bathroom outside of our bedroom. It did not appear that any other guests used it but I would have been more comfortable with it having a lock and key, just in case. Nonetheless, I highly recommend staying here.

The best guest house I've EVER booked, not only in the UK (and I say it as a frequent traveler)! On the first day I lost my phone in a cab and the staff was able to find it without any information about the ride! In just 20 minutes the phone was at my door. They care and it shows! The rooms are amazing as well as elegant and clean. The position is outstanding, it's just 20 minutes from the city center and it's in a peaceful neighborhood. We'll absolutely come back!

I stayed at the Capital Guest several years ago and found it to be value for money, cosy and welcoming. The owners too were very welcoming and friendly. I would definitely stay there again. ❤️

A very pleasant guesthouse, located a 25-minute walk from the center of Edinburgh, where all the main attractions are located. The owner is very friendly and will provide you with all the practical information you need, and the rooms are simple and clean.

Great place to stay! We rented a room for 4 nights. The owner was super friendly, helped us with our activities. The room was spacious, good ventilation, super clean. And the location was super convenient and in front of a bus stop, We highly recommend this place.

We staid there for two nights. The family room (with en-suite) was very clean and comfortable with en-suite, the host very kind and accommodating, and the location was very convenient to visit Edinburgh without using the car. Certainly recommended.

Great resteraunt, friendly staff and amazing food.

Average Chinese food, dated decor. Quite expensive for what's on offer.

I have used Kwok Brasserie in Ratcliffe Terrace for almost 20 years. They were one of the first Chinese restaurants in Edinburgh to omit Mono-Sodium-Glutamate (MSG - regularly used in Chinese food to give it more flavour, but can make some people very unwell) from their cooking, which was what attracted me to them in the first place.
They have a wide variety of dishes which are all freshly prepared - we particularly like the beef and green pepper in black bean sauce and the Kung Po chicken . The restaurant welcomes young children at lunch time and in the early evening and they will even take time to show them how to use chopsticks and expect them to share your food. It is a good place to take young children because they don't have to wait long for their food to arrive, and the food is colourful and very tasty.
The same extensive menu is available for take aways and deliveries and it arrives hot, tasty and in under an hour.

This place used to be good. It's really gross now. Noodles were clumped together and had that 'fusty noodle' smell. So much for 'black bean sauce' on them too, there was maybe a tablespoonful in the whole tub. The diet coke I ordered was also out of date on Nov 2016- didn't notice til I poured a glass and went to drink it - was semi-flat (despite being in a sealed bottle!) and tasted awful (you know when diet coke's been lying around near heaters for too long and get's that weird taste?)
Never again, waste of money, I'd have been better with a 99p ready meal from Asda's freezer section.

I had high hopes for a place that looked more hole in the wall, but in the end I wouldn't call this Chinese food. We ordered a noodle dish and fried rice. Food was a bit bland and flavor and textures were off. The fried shrimp chips were good and the overall service was great though.

Great pub with a great selection of craft beers and lagers. Amazing hanging baskets during the summer.
25.10.2017 Yolanda
We had dinner here on our first night in Edinburgh. It was recommended by our B&B hosts, and it was just a short walk away. The restaurant/pub is very cozy and the outside is gorgeous with all the flowers. The food was very good and my husband enjoyed his beer. Servers were friendly.
