About
Minto House
Minto House is a small guest house on Minto Street, a short bus ride or 20-minute walk from Edinburgh's city centre. The property has just 7 rooms, which keeps things personal, and guests highlight free Wi-Fi in every room.
A cooked breakfast is served each morning, and the owner Nadia frequently earns special mentions for going out of her way to help. Many rooms feature tea and coffee facilities, flat-screen TVs, and seating areas, with a garden for quiet moments.

In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
3 reasons to book- Exceptional host — Nearly every guest review singles out Nadia for her warm, attentive hospitality – she often goes out of her way to help.
- Great value for the price — Given the comfort, cleanliness, and location, guests repeatedly note the price is fair for what's offered.
- Excellent transport links — A bus stop right outside and another across the street put the city centre 10–15 minutes away by bus, or a pleasant walk.
–
Worth weighing
3 to weigh- No pets allowed — If you plan to travel with an animal, this property isn't suitable.
- Small property, limited rooms — With only 7 rooms, availability can be tight, and there's less anonymity than a larger hotel.
- Warmer rooms — Some guests found rooms very warm at night, needing the window open for comfort.
