The innkeeper, Susie was so accommodating! She was able to let us check in early and give us an upgraded room! The room is beautiful. Very clean and comfortable. The location is in a nice residential neighborhood of Edinburgh, but the bus into the city center is right outside of the house. Quick 10min bus to Royal Mile.

Lovely discreet welcome from Olga and James- beautifully presented continental breakfast in a gorgeous dining area. Nothing too much trouble - amble parking in the quiet residential district of Bruntsfield. We went to the neighbourhood Italian Tempo Perso for a lovely meal. I walked in to Edinburgh in 25- 30 minutes through parks and commons - although there is s very good bus service too- tap and go! I ran at Holyrood parkrun on the Saturday 5k of fabulous views. Go Georgian House!

The building itself is beautiful and well kept. You have a very welcoming feeling as you enter. It's gorgeous on the inside and Craig was an absolute delight. He was very accommodating and helpful with travel tips. The room itself was beautiful. Each room has it's own private bathroom and shower. Everything was impeccably clean and the beds were quite comfortable. We would have loved to stay there longer, so we're sure we'll be back. We highly recommend this place!

Breakfast was scrumptious and selections vast; the decor and comfort is sumptuous and the host so friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. It was a highlight of our holiday and a delightful introduction to Edinburgh. Centrally located, close to the trams and short walk to the various sights, shopping district and restaurants.

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.

A nice room in a shared apartment. It is a bit further from the city centre, the area is quiet with multiple restaurant options and grocery stores. We were in contact with the host only online, we received all the instructions and it worked well for us. Overall a nice cheap option to stay in the city.

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.
