Fantastic pub! Amazing architecture with beautiful intricate ceiling mouldings. We went on a match day so very full of rugby fans but a great atmosphere and so friendly. 10 real Ale handpumps, most of which were local and the two we had were great and in great condition.

We returned to the Guildford for another visit and were pleased to see that improvements had been made after our previous visit. Bar and restaurant staff were very pleasant and eager to serve us. The food was excellent and nice and hot. Prices were fairly good. We enjoyed our afternoon. The Guildford is now back on our go to list. Well done.

Great pub with excellent beer, but currently half closed. Couldn't get seat, and shouted out by grumpy man when I dared sit at a table reserved for food, which wasn't signed. Disappointing return to an old local pub. Avoid until they re-open.

Are you looking for a fine pint of beer in the east end of Edinburgh, then look no further. This busy, traditional pub (between Waverley rail station and Edinburgh bus station) has a large, ever changing selection of draft beers. Warning: at busy times it is standing room only although it was almost completely empty tonight.

We ordered as a snack the Chilli Beef Nachos. And true to it's description, it was frozen. A good portion however, was spoilt by the numpty in the kitchen who thought it was a great idea to load the chilled guacamole. salsa and sour cream over the hot beef chilli, rendering the experience inedible. We picked at the nachos, but left the rest. Told waiter and he replied would pass on to kitchen! Apart from our lousy food, good selection of beers and bar staff worked well.

Como siempre la comida era genial. Bebe bien. El escenario, Grand. Como siempre el personal era una bolsa mixta. Un chico francés encantador me sirvió bebidas un par de veces, era atento, amable y hablador. El chico pequeño de las escaleras donde comimos fue una experiencia menos agradable. Algo innecesario en su opinión, parsimonioso con los condimentos solicitados y, en general, su manera erizada y la falta de capacidad para ajustarse a las normas modernas de servicio al cliente me llevan a creer que puede no estar en el mejor trabajo para su personalidad. Quizás el guardia de seguridad sería mejor.

Ended up walking out and going next door for a fantastic experience at Café Royal. It's always been great for drinks and I'll be back for that but I won't be booking a meal there again.

Went in for a couple of beers and an early lunch. A few steps from Princes Street behind Apple shop, this is a small old fashioned looking pub with a small first floor restaurant and is worth trying. Our food was good, fairly priced and the service was very good. Food is a touch above pub grub and is served in the bar as well as in the restaurant. If looking to book, it is not possible to book a table for later the same day. That aside a place that will be revisited.

Called in for a quick pint after a long day. Called last orders at 10:30. Ordered a couple of pints. At 11:05 the barmaid came over to our table and said they were closed and was going to clear the table, which she proceeded to do taking two full pints from me and my friend. Nice pub, but that's shocking service when 10-15 minutes drinking up time would have been appreciated. Plenty of options locally...

Visited twice for dinner. The meals were on two levels and I had steak pie once and haggis once and they were both delicious. The elegant interior design of the building, reminiscent of a Victorian pub, is as beautiful as the food, so be sure to stop by when you visit Calton Hill. The waiters are also friendly and humorous. As a token of my gratitude, I naturally felt like giving a tip, although it wasn't a lot of money. I will definitely go here again next time I'm in Edinburgh.

We always visit when we are in Edinburgh. Because of an amusing incident on our first visit. There was a stag party in. The groom had on a bridesmaids dress. An elderly lady in the restroom commented on how drunk the bridesmaid in the wedding party was. Her daughter creased up. It is a nice friendly boozer. Unfortunately my husband has to drink cider. He doesn't do real ale. The Tennants is good. Worth a visit. Haven't had food but have seen plenty going upstairs to eat.
