“Lantern Guest House stands out for its prime location near Edinburgh's attractions, offering easy access to Waverley Station and popular dining spots; the coded access and optional self-catering add a layer of convenience and privacy. While some rooms might feel compact and the early morning sounds from the family above could interrupt late sleepers, the responsive owner and emphasis on cleanliness make it a practical choice. Overall, I think Lantern Guest House is a solid base for exploring the city.”
