Clarin House was perfect for our short visit to Edinburgh. Room was clean, and honestly, it was one of the most comfortable beds I've ever slept in. Didn't want to get up in the morning:) Very clean room and close to bus stop. Loved our stay!

Sonas was one of the best guesthouses I’ve ever been to. It was quiet, clean and location was excellent!! There were food, water, coffee and tea. We also used their free parking for our trip to the highlands. This place had everything. I highly recommend!

Such a welcoming place the host couldn't have been more helpful or friendly an absolute star. The room was well equipped, clean and tastefully decorated with a very comfy bed., it made a great place to rest and relax after a long day. The location is a gem. 30 min walk or 20 min at a pace into the central part of Edinburgh. What makes the location great is all the quality independent cafes, shops and restaurants found just at the end of the street. We tried a few and all were exceptional, way better than the tourist traps and tack shops in the royal mile. Recommend Edinburgh Larder if you stay for breakfast. The area is such great headspace after walking the royal mile. Very cute dog too : )

    Excellent - What previous guests thought, 1,823 reviews
    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.

    Wonderful - What previous guests thought, 662 reviews
    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.
