Situated in Edinburgh, the recently renovated 4 Friends House features accommodation 1.3 km from Royal Yacht Britannia and 3.1 km from Edinburgh Waverley station. Among the facilities at this property are luggage storage space and a housekeeping service, along with free WiFi throughout the property. Guests can access the guest house via private entrance. I loved the book corner, the cute window, the common areas to have breakfast and read, the thoughtfulness of using warm toned bedside lamps and not to forget, the private bathroom

At the guest house, units have a desk, a flat-screen TV, a private bathroom, bed linen and towels. The guest house features some units with mountain views, and the units have a kettle. At the guest house, all units are allergy-free. A spacious room perfect for a longer stay. It was so nice staying somewhere where the beds are more than 30 cm apart. The host is lovely and very helpful. The area was nice and quiet. The bus stop is very close and buses are leaving frequently. We also walked to the city center on the nicer days

Housed in a historic building, the recently renovated Straven Guesthouse provides accommodation with a shared lounge and free WiFi. The property features quiet street views and is 90 metres from Portobello Beach and 4.5 km from Arthurs Seat. Royal Yacht Britannia is 6.5 km from the guest house and Royal Mile is 6.6 km away. Sinead and Chris are probably the best hosts in the world. I slept across the hall from the kitchen / breakfast area and they were able to be very quiet! It's 1min walking to the beach and 3min to the bus stop. The bed was so comfy. The shower nice and hot. For breakfast you can have the usual plus some scottish options, all delicious. Felt safe the whole time as a solo traveller (including bus trip at night). 10/10.

Situated in Edinburgh, within 15 km of Forth Bridge and 16 km of Murrayfield Stadium, Whitecroft B&B features accommodation with a garden and free WiFi as well as free private parking for guests who drive. The property is around 16 km from Edinburgh Zoo, 17 km from Edinburgh International Conference Centre and 18 km from Hopetoun House. The Real Mary King's Close is 19 km from the guest house and University of Edinburgh is 20 km away. Lorna was an amazing host. In general, accommodation around Edinburgh is quite expensive so we found this place which was relatively affordable compared to other places and had a high rating. It is a house-turned-b&b, has 3 small rooms and a nice small dining room. Everything was super clean and Lorna was the friendliest host we have ever met. She gives you a small form to fill every night to get your breakfast preferences and time to eat. Her cooking is lovely. Definitely recommend her full Scottish breakfast with Haggis. She cooked the best haggis out of the 3 restaurants we tried. The only downside was that the place is quite far from the city (45 min bus ride - take X27) and there is only one bus that goes there but if you catch it and don't mind the travel time, it is definitely worth a stay.
