The street was sometimes noisy at night with groups awaiting buses.

Room was excellent with a lovely view of Arthur’s seat and the park. Breakfast was also excellent. The staff were exceptionally good, kind, attentive and helpful. Close to bus stops for the centre. Short walk to park and centre.

Lovely little touches made for a very comfortable and welcoming stay.

From the moment we arrived, our host was incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel welcome right away. The room was clean, comfortable, and beautifully decorated, with a lovely view of the garden.

The hosts were very welcoming, lovely family and nothing was too much trouble. The breakfasts were lovely. I was also able to arrive early as the room was ready, plus that got me a parking space, albeit limited parking it was very important to me as carrying equipment for the fringe and saved me money and time trying to find suitable parking. The house is a good walk to the Royal Mile, but not a problem if you like walking. There are bus stops outside the property with regular buses into the town. All in all a very good stay.

Clean, Next to bus stop which goes directly to city centre in 15 mins

Gladstone House is a charming property located about 25 to 30 minutes to downtown Edinburgh area. The room we stayed it was gorgeous, and had a lovely sitting area near huge bay windows. Since this house is not located deep in the city, there is not too much noise outside and we kept the windows open during the day. The bathroom facilities were clean and new. If you stay multiple days, the room can be cleaned and coffee/snacks restocked inside the room. Breakfast was amazing and made by the wonderful Ivy. It was a pleasure meeting the hosts and being able to stay two days in Edinburgh. If you are driving, there are two parking spots outside of the house as well.

Good couple running the place, helped us with everything we needed, offering us good quiet parking, and leaving our luggage there on the check out day so we could back into the city again which is a quick bus ride or you can walk but the bus is cheap enough.

Bedroom was exceptionally hot, fan on full blast and lots of cold water showers and ice helped. Old houses and particularly rooms at the top of them are not good in hot weather.. not the property’s fault… just the way it is!

Lovely old property, great location

Nothing to complain about.

The apartment was comfy and clean, located just 10 minutes by bus from the city center and 10 minutes on foot from hiking trails. The host was very kind, gave us all the necessary instructions, offered us cold lemonade in the heat, and helped store our luggage after check-out until our departure time.

Very comfortable accommodation, private bathroom was external but I had my own key to access it. Best B&B I have stayed in so far in Edinburgh. Parking space was a bonus too

everything was spot on.

perfect house to stay and explore Edinburgh. hosts are really friendly and helpful, breakfast was excellent. the house is decorated with preserving original features but offering a maximum of comfort. the bathroom were newly refurbished and in excellent working condition.. the bus to the city centre stops literally in front of the guest hourse. but you also easily can reach the city centre by foot within 30 min. lots of pubs/restaurants in the area. Arthurs Seat can be reached within 1 hour by foot.

The accommodations were great, and the breakfast was also very good. The owners were very polite, and accommodating. The reason I marked staff as very good instead of excellent is because I would have like to see them interact more with the guests. The reason I stay at a B&B instead of a hotel, is to hopefully learn about the area through conversations with the B&B owners. I felt like these owners did not want to interact with us at all.

Expected the room and toilet to be a bit bigger, but they are nonetheless comfortable and well equipped.

Beautifully decorated, lovely staff and comfortable cosy facilities.

After the long trip from York, we had a lovely welcome from Ivy & Xia. The apartment was beautifully clean & comfortable. They were both happy to help us with any queries we had. We would certainly recommend this apartment to fellow travellers.

Nothing negative I can think of! :)

This was the PERFECT place for us to say! The proximity to the bus stop to take into town was unbeatable--essentially right outside our door. It was so easy to hop on first thing in the morning and be right in the center of town. The room was so cute and cozy, and the dining area and breakfast served was wonderful. Our host was so kind and left so much great information about things to do and see around Edinburgh. I cannot recommend enough! It is perfect for travelers looking for something calming and out of the main hub of the city.

It‘s a bit too far from the center to walk. Buses run frequently, though.

This cozy guest house is beautifully decorated and maintained. We had a large room with a view of Arthur’s Seat. The breakfast room is particularly nice. Breakfast was delicious.
