Lauderville Guest House
Simon was an exceptional host—warm, welcoming, and always ready to help. The rooms are beautifully designed with a perfect blend of charm and comfort, and they were spotless from top to bottom. Located just a short 5-10 minute cab ride from the Royal Mile, it’s incredibly convenient without being too close to the crowds. The neighborhood itself is so quaint and peaceful—perfect for a relaxing stay. I truly enjoyed every moment here and would absolutely come back. Highly recommend this gem if you're visiting Edinburgh.
Kildonan Lodge Hotel
Staying at Kildonan Lodge Hotel was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The bed was incredibly comfortable—perfect for a good night’s sleep after a long day of exploring Edinburgh. The room itself was clean, quiet, and well-maintained, with a cozy atmosphere that made it feel like a home away from home. One of the biggest perks? Free parking on-site, which was a major plus for us as we arrived by car. The front desk staff were warm and welcoming, always ready to help with any questions or recommendations. Best of all, the hotel is just steps from a bus stop that runs straight into the heart of Edinburgh city center—getting around was so easy and stress-free. I also appreciated the little snacks provided in the room; it was a nice touch for a quick bite without having to leave the hotel. Overall, this place offers great value, comfort, and convenience. If you're visiting Edinburgh and want a peaceful, well-located base, this is definitely worth considering.
Martin's Guesthouse
I wish Martin's Guesthouse were a hidden gem so we’d have the chance to return next year—because we absolutely loved it. From the moment we arrived, we felt truly welcomed and well taken care of. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, the rooms are clean and cozy, and the breakfast is delicious and generous. What truly sets this place apart is the genuine kindness and attention to detail from the host—something that stands out even in Scotland’s already excellent B&B tradition. It’s not just a stay; it’s an experience. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Edinburgh.
Kingsley Guest House
We absolutely loved our stay at Kingsley Guest House in Edinburgh. The location is quiet yet incredibly convenient—just steps from multiple bus stops, making it easy to explore the city without hassle. Alan and Alison were warm, welcoming hosts who made us feel right at home, and we even got to meet their lovely little companion, Mr. Tom. Our room was perfectly sized with a modern bathroom, ample closet space, and a cozy bed that promised a restful night’s sleep. Breakfast was a highlight—Alan happily prepared exactly what we wanted, showing great flexibility and attention to detail. Within a 10-15 minute walk (or short bus ride), we found a variety of restaurants and grocery stores, so getting essentials or enjoying local eats was effortless. Everything about this B&B felt thoughtfully designed for comfort and convenience. We’d return in a heartbeat—highly recommended!
Strathallan Guest House
Staying at Strathallan Guest House was an absolute delight. The location is unbeatable—just a short walk from Princes Street and right next to a bus stop, with downtown Edinburgh reachable in just 15 minutes. The neighborhood is peaceful in the evenings, making it perfect for a quiet retreat after a long day of exploring. I loved how close it was to Holyrood Park—within minutes, I could go for a morning run or hike up Arthur’s Seat. Unfortunately, I didn’t have enough time to make it to the summit early in the morning, but even getting a glimpse of the view from below was unforgettable. The room was cozy, clean, and well-appointed, and the hosts were warm and welcoming. For anyone looking to experience authentic Edinburgh with great convenience and charm, this guesthouse is a top pick.
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.
Summer Stays at The University of Edinburgh
Staying in a university dorm as a tourist was such a unique experience—really brought back memories of my own student days. The check-in staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, guiding us through all the amenities like self-service laundry, breakfast options, convenience shop, bar, and lounges. The room itself was spacious—actually larger than many hotels I’ve stayed at. The ensuite bathroom and shower were compact but perfectly functional, and the Wi-Fi was strong and reliable. Having a working elevator made things so much easier, especially with our heavy luggage. Even though the room faces an open courtyard where students gather, there was absolutely no noise disturbance—it never got loud late into the night. There are several lounges, a small pantry, and even a games room, which added to the lively campus vibe. Breakfast was outstanding—the dining hall was huge, well-organized, and full of freshly cooked food: eggs, sausages, haggis, cereals, coffee, tea, hot chocolate, and a wide variety of breads. The energy in the space was electric—full of youthful buzz, just like any real university campus. Located right at the foot of Arthur’s Seat, the surroundings are stunning. Plus, getting to the city center is super easy—buses run frequently, and it’s actually not far to walk if you’re up for a scenic stroll. A truly memorable stay with great value and a fantastic atmosphere.
Argyle Backpackers
My flight was unexpectedly cancelled, so I had to extend my stay by one day—my first time staying at a backpacker hostel, and honestly, it turned out to be a really pleasant surprise. We arrived at 10 AM, and since check-out wasn’t until 11 AM, we’d already booked a castle tour for 11 AM the next day. I was worried we’d miss the key handover after returning from the tour, which could’ve been as late as 7 PM—but the staff were incredibly helpful and proactive in finding a solution. They made sure everything ran smoothly, so we could enjoy our full day without any stress. As a hostel, the overall vibe is warm and welcoming. We stayed in a top-floor triple room with a double bed and a single—one of the best layouts for older guests who don’t want to climb stairs. The shared bathroom on the floor was spotless and well-maintained, and fellow guests were respectful and considerate. Inside the room, there’s a sink (a huge plus for washing fruit or brushing teeth), a TV, a small safe, bedside table with mirror, chest of drawers, and a cute built-in closet. One tiny improvement? More hanging space would be great, but otherwise, everything works perfectly. Great value, excellent service, and a really friendly atmosphere—definitely worth recommending.
Destiny Student - Meadow Court
My stay at this hostel was absolutely fantastic from the moment I arrived. The front desk staff were incredibly welcoming, knowledgeable, and genuinely warm—they gave us great local tips and made us feel right at home. The rooms were clean, well-organized, and comfortably furnished with everything we needed. I especially appreciated the thoughtful layout and quiet atmosphere, perfect for a good night’s sleep. It’s rare to find such a friendly, well-run place with such excellent value. I’d highly recommend it to any traveler visiting Edinburgh—this is definitely a top choice for budget-friendly, quality accommodation.
Sakura Edinburgh Guest House
Staying at Sakura Edinburgh Guest House was an absolute highlight of my trip to Edinburgh! The location is perfect—right next to the subway station, making it super easy to get around the city, whether you're heading to the historic center, museums, or shopping areas. I loved that there's unlimited fresh coffee available every day—such a thoughtful touch—and plenty of free drinking water, which made staying hydrated a breeze. The place is clean, cozy, and warmly decorated with a homely vibe. The staff are friendly and helpful, making the whole experience feel personal and welcoming. It's hard to find a better value-for-money option in this area. I’ll definitely be back and highly recommend this guest house to anyone visiting Edinburgh.
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.
