The Lane Hotel
The service here was absolutely outstanding—every request was handled with care and no inconvenience was ever an issue. My bridal morning was made even more special when they left a bottle of sparkling wine for us, which was such a thoughtful touch. The room itself is spacious, immaculately clean, and well-equipped with everything you’d need for a comfortable stay. It’s clear that attention to detail is a top priority. I’d definitely book again if I’m ever back in Edinburgh. Highly recommend this gem for anyone looking for a warm, welcoming, and beautifully maintained stay.
Sonas Guesthouse
Staying at Sonas Guesthouse was an absolute delight. The place is spotlessly clean and warmly welcoming from the moment you walk in. Free parking is a huge plus, especially if you're driving. While there's no cooked breakfast, the dining area offers a simple but generous spread of cereals, milk, and fresh fruit—perfect for a quick morning boost. The room itself was lovely: quiet throughout the night, with a powerful hot shower and a convenient tea and coffee tray. The bed was incredibly comfortable, making for a restful sleep. It’s just around the corner from countless buses heading straight to the Royal Mile and Princes Street—super convenient for exploring. Even if you prefer walking, it’s only a 30-minute stroll to the main attractions, which feels manageable. I’d definitely stay here again and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Edinburgh.
Alba House Hotel
This B&B is an absolute gem! From the moment we arrived, Cath made us feel right at home with her warm hospitality and genuine kindness. She went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed, especially as international travelers who were unfamiliar with the area. The room was spotless, cozy, and thoughtfully equipped—every little detail made a difference. Located just steps from the subway, getting around Edinburgh was so easy and convenient. We felt safe, comfortable, and well taken care of throughout our stay. If we ever return to Scotland, this will be our first choice for accommodation. Truly unforgettable and highly recommended!
Grangeview Guest House
My one-night stay at Grangeview Guest House was absolutely delightful. The room was spotless, stylish, and felt recently refreshed—perfectly sized with a cozy, inviting atmosphere. I was genuinely surprised and pleased to find a dressing gown and slippers waiting in the room—a thoughtful touch that made the experience feel extra special. Located in a quiet residential area, it offered a peaceful retreat while still being just a short walk from the Royal Mile and ideal for exploring Holyrood Park. The location is perfect for both relaxation and sightseeing. I’d definitely book here again on my next visit to Edinburgh—highly recommend!
Amaryllis Guest House
Staying at Amaryllis Guest House was an absolute delight. This charming Georgian townhouse boasts a beautiful foyer and a stunning balustraded staircase that leads to the upper floors—each step feels like stepping into history. Despite modern upgrades throughout, the home’s original character remains intact, creating a warm, inviting atmosphere. The property is impeccably clean and wonderfully private, with no traffic noise to disturb your peace. My cozy single room came with an en-suite bathroom, a fantastic shower, and a wall-mounted flat-screen TV—perfect for unwinding after a day exploring Edinburgh. I enjoyed a peaceful view of the small back garden, filled with lush hydrangeas that added a touch of serenity. Cathy and Lynn were incredibly welcoming and helpful—they provided detailed information about local attractions, handed me a city map, and even arranged a reliable taxi for my early morning departure at 6:15 AM. (Uber isn’t always dependable here, so their assistance was invaluable.) While breakfast isn’t included, they offer a kettle so you can brew your own tea or coffee anytime, plus fresh fruit and biscuits. It’s a thoughtful touch that makes your stay feel personal and comfortable. I left feeling refreshed, well taken care of, and already planning my next visit. If you’re visiting Edinburgh, Amaryllis Guest House is a must-book—it truly stands out.
Edinburgh Regency Guest House
I stayed at Edinburgh Regency Guest House during a really tough time, and I can't recommend it for anyone. The staff were polite enough, but the owner clearly doesn’t care about guests’ wellbeing. The rooms are extremely run-down — peeling paint, worn-out furniture, and poor maintenance everywhere. I found signs of rodents and even had worms come out of the shower tray, which was deeply unsettling. I was told it wasn’t harmful to my kids, but how can you trust that when the place is so neglected? There were also uninvited individuals staying there, and my children witnessed and overheard disturbing things — completely unacceptable for a family-friendly space. The owner claims he’d never live in these conditions with his own family, but if that’s true, why allow such a place to operate this way? It’s clear money is the only priority here. This isn’t just a bad stay — it’s unsafe, unsanitary, and utterly disappointing. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone, especially not with children.
Badjao B&B
Staying at Badjao B&B in Edinburgh was a truly enjoyable experience overall. The host is such a kind and welcoming person—she prepares breakfast every morning (just fill out the form in your room!), and she’s full of helpful tips on local transport, must-see spots, and hidden gems around the city. My room was compact but perfectly functional, and I was impressed by how spotless the bathroom and entire flat were—cleanliness really stood out. Public transport is excellent here; multiple bus lines stop just steps away, making it easy to get around town. The location is on a main street, which isn’t the most scenic part of the city, but there’s a Lidl supermarket right around the corner—a real lifesaver for essentials. The only drawbacks are the building’s age: street noise can be noticeable at night, so earplugs are recommended, and some doors rattle when closed. The mattress also had a visible dent from years of use, causing me to roll into it each night, which slightly affected comfort. Despite that, the warm hospitality, cleanliness, and great location make this a highly recommendable stay. I’d definitely come back and wouldn’t hesitate to suggest it to others.
Glenalmond House
Jimmy and Fiona were absolutely wonderful hosts—warm, thoughtful, and genuinely attentive. Our room was spacious, beautifully decorated, and well-equipped with everything we needed. The breakfast was exceptional—fresh, delicious, and full of local touches that made it feel special. We were just a short bus ride from the city center, making exploring Edinburgh effortless. Their hospitality made the entire stay feel like coming home. I’d book again in a heartbeat—highly recommend this gem!
Unite Students - Salisbury Court
Staying at Salisbury Court was an absolute delight, especially with my mom and 9-year-old kid. From the warm welcome to the super helpful checkout process, every interaction was friendly and efficient. The bed was incredibly comfortable, the room spotless, and having access to a kitchen and shared lounge made our stay so much more enjoyable—especially getting to chat with a grandmother and her daughter from the Netherlands! Despite being quite full, it stayed peaceful and quiet throughout our visit. The location was perfect—we were close to Arthur’s Seat, could easily hail a cab to and from the train station, and even enjoyed a nice walk into the city center. It’s rare to find such a well-located, clean, and welcoming place with great amenities and a relaxed vibe. Highly recommend for families or travelers looking for comfort and convenience in Edinburgh.
Emmaus Guest House Edinburgh
We stayed at this five-bedroom, five-bathroom house for three nights and found it great for our large group. Since we were out most of the day, the unreliable Wi-Fi wasn’t a major issue—but when we were actually at home, the connection was frustratingly weak or completely dropped. The bathrooms were inconsistent too: some rooms had spacious ones, but the top-floor bedroom shared a tiny bathroom with barely any room to place toiletries—everything had to go on the floor. Also, the TVs were only portable-sized, which felt underwhelming for the price point. For a property like this, decent-sized TVs and reliable internet should be standard. Overall, the house was functional and spacious enough for a family or group, but the lack of proper amenities made the experience feel a bit disappointing given the cost.
Dalry Guesthouse
Absolutely loved our stay at Dalry Guesthouse! The location is fantastic—just steps away from the subway and right next to a Lidl, which made grabbing essentials super convenient. The room was clean, well-sized, and cozy with everything we needed. Breakfast was a real highlight—fresh, hearty, and full of local flavor. The staff went above and beyond with their warm hospitality, always ready to help or offer tips. The neighborhood itself has a vibrant, multicultural vibe, with diverse cafes and shops around every corner. It’s such a welcoming, authentic part of Edinburgh. For a budget-friendly yet high-quality experience, this place truly delivers. Highly recommend for travelers who want comfort, convenience, and a genuine local feel.
Minto House
The hostess was incredibly welcoming, and the room was spotlessly clean—every corner felt fresh and well-maintained. The bathroom was equally tidy, and the beds were wonderfully comfortable, making for a restful night’s sleep. Located in a quiet neighborhood just a short walk from the city center, it offers the perfect balance between peace and convenience. What stood out most was the personalized recommendations—she shared great spots nearby for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, which made exploring the area so much easier. It's clear she genuinely cares about her guests' experience. This stay was nothing short of excellent, and I’d happily return. Highly recommend!
