The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. I had free toiletries, tea, coffee, sugar and a choice of delicious biscuits. Cannot fault the place.

Very nice and quiet place to stay ! People working there are very kind, good attention. They have been able to give me very early check in (as I was already in the city) even if it was 1st of January !

Our stay was amazing. The accommodation is close to the city centre (main attractions) and everyone was really nice and welcoming. The room has everything you need and it is very clean. The breakfast was very tasty. The hospitality was unreal, we even got a bag with food to go when we left for the airport as we had to leave before the breakfast started.

The room was very cozy and well-equipped (kettle, tea bags and coffee, complimentary chocolates and water); the hotel is located in a very nice and quiet neighbourhood with very quick city center connection (although on the map it looks a bit far, in reality it takes only 15 min to get to the center)

Comfortable bed, I found it hard to wake up. Had a fridge in the room, which was great for us. Great communication, and Kim was such a lovely host.

The rooms were cosy. Breakfest was served in a bag and was sufficient for us fringe goers. Many fringe theathers were within a walking distance (we like walking, but there are busses available also.) peaceful. Not cheap. But functioned very well for us.

Extremely pleasant stay. The couple running the guest house welcomed me in and it felt like staying at family. Even with the 10 rooms they always remembered my name, the things I went and saw around the city, and gave tips for new things to explore.

    Fabulous - What previous guests thought, 1,836 reviews
    The guest house was in a great location. Next to the bus station, 5 minutes away from Waverley station. Our room was clean with firm comfy beds, exactly as we requested. Murray, our host, was helpful and polite, and looked after us so well. Our room had a great view from the windows. The breakfast was lovely. The rooms were quieter than I had expected given the location.

    This was undeniably the perfect stay. Firstly, beautiful and charming house in a nice residential area not far from Edinburgh city centre (only a 15 minute bus ride or a 40 minute walk), super clean and quiet room, very comfy bed and modern bathroom with all the necessities. Secondly, breakfast was delicious, freshly cooked every morning by the owner. Last but not least, Kingsley Guest house is run by a very friendly family who made me feel at home as soon as I stepped inside. Highly recommended.
