Great guesthouse. Great value for money. Really lovely people, Hilary !!! Amazing breakfast and an amazing bed (having back problems so I know what I'm talking about). And the garden was a great addition - peace and relaxing after everything else. Loved the cat and her company during our quiet moments in the garden. I'll try to come again.

It was overall lovely! Everyone was very welcoming and if you need anything, they are super helpful and nice! My room was beautiful, quite big and comfortable. Breakfast was tasty and thommy is always there for a friendly and informative chat! I felt very much at home! Just as information (nor at all a criticism): the place has a lot of stairs and steps. If you have mobility difficulties, this might not be the right fit. But otherwise I fully recommend this place. I would (and hopefully will) book this again every time!

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.

Cosy guesthouse at the charming heart of Bruntsfield, an adorable part of Edinburgh. Close to small, vibrant boutiques and bars and just some minutes away from the city center.
