away from everyday work and daily stress, it was the best and most relaxing place where you can go to get out of your daily routine! And besides all this, the surprise made at breakfast on the occasion of the birthday was impressive and unexpected! Thank you for that! 🫶

It has been lovely to come back here one year later my first trip in Edinburgh, where I slept in this marvellous Guest House already once. For this reason when I got the availbility I booked immediately again to be cuddled in this welcoming and cozy structure. I want to thank Kate for the virtual assistance and Maggy and Gordon for the little chats we had the first and the last day I have stayed. The Guest House is in a quiet area close by the Edinburgh city center, you could take lots of buses to get the beautiful Royal Mile and the other great places the city offers. I've again loved the kindness, the cleanliness and the complete bath set with a bathrobe too and free still Scottish water in bottle and biscuits everyday. I hope to enjoy Edinburgh and the Guest House in the future again.

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.
