I have stayed there for only one night but it was more than i was looking for. Only 20 mins walk from the city centre. Great bus services to town who wouldnt fancy to walk. The guest house was very clean, the host Christina was lovely and very helpfull. would definitely go back there again.

I stayed over the Easter weekend with my daughter, this was our eleventh year staying at this guest house so it is like coming home to us. As with every other time we recieved a warm welcome from Irene, Denis and Christine. We had a very nice comfortable and spotlessly clean room which made our stay in lovely Edinburgh even... More

This is a three star B & B situated approx 1.5 miles from Edinburgh City Centre. We stayed in room 7 which was of a reasonable size, nicely decorated and clean. We had a good breakfast served both mornings in a bright, nicely decorated dining room. The bathroom was clean and modern with not one spot of mould. There is... More

It was a pleasure staying at Sonas.. The guesthouse was great, very clean, in a quite road, the room was spacious enough, cozy and warm (!) during the whole day.. but most of all I was very very grateful to find out that Irene, the owner, was such a great hostess! She was so kind, helpful, flexible... she had even... More

This was our second visit to Sonas and we would certainly book again for a future visit. Nice well-equipped room (at the top of the house with a great view), delicious breakfasts served in the pleasant dining room and plenty of buses available just at the end of the road for the short journey into central Edinburgh. The landlady is... More

Stayed here recently for one night. Room on top floor, hubby tall so he had to keep ducking + not hitting his head. Bed was small and not much use for a 6 foot 3 tall guy!! Room was clean and at night very quiet. No noise. Breakfast as plentiful and cooked from fresh. Managed to get into the free... More

The greatest thing about Sonas is Christina, her warm, kind welcome and her genuine and earnest attention to your every comfort. 'Sonas' means happiness in Gaelic, and we definitely had a happy stay in this elegant house. The room was comfortable (though not huge). Breakfast is generous .... moreover, you won't be asked to do that difficult stomach forecast trick... More

We stayed for 5 nights. This is a wonderful place, it was our 4th stay at Sonas and I´m sure we`ll back again, the rooms are very clean and the Breakfast was excellent. It's in a great location, on a main bus route taking you right into Edinburgh centre. The B&B owner was extremely nice and friendly and very helpful... More

We stayed here for there nights and were very well taken care of. The breakfast was good, and we were even offered an earlier breakfast on the day of our departure, so we wouldnt miss it. Kind and attentive staff and very comfortable room, a bitt small, but with a bathing tube, which was much appreciated after a long, cold... More

Sonas Guest House was a warm, clean, quiet, comfortable place to stay. Irene and Christine were very helpful and made us feel like we were home. They arranged a day tour for us and because we left early in the morning they packed us a breakfast. We really enjoyed the Scottish breakfasts. The service was great. I hope to return... More
