Excellent host! Service is like a hotel but with a much more personal experience. Clean. Quiet (do not be concerned about closeness to airport). Lovely location, where small town meets countryside. 30 min by bus to downtown Edinburgh (bus app works well). Also, if you have a car, Sabannga Thai restaurant 3 miles away comes highly recommended.

The owner was extremely fun, helpful and made our visit to Edinburgh an even better experience. It's incredible that as a mum with three children to look after, she can still run an accommodation so well.

It's a very clean, tidy and cozy place. The transportation is convenient. There are convenience stores and restaurants nearby. Due to the flight, we arrived very early. The hotel took care of our luggage and allowed us to check in early after everything was settled. Everything was great! If I come to Edinburgh again, I will still choose to stay here!

It was clean, comfortable, great for couple days stay. The best thing was the location. It is located at the city centre, very close to St Andrew Square, couple minutes walk to Royal Mile, castle, museums, bars and restaurants. The last day, we could drop our luggage at the basement, close to the property, so we could go in the city for the last time and didn’t have to carry it with us.

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.
