The host’s Jim and Olga. We have never come across a more hospitable couple’ would do anything to make our stay warm and welcome. And Jim went above and beyond, by taking my wife and I on a personal tour of Edinburgh. His knowledge of the the city is second to none.

The host was very accommodating and welcoming. Thanks to her, my trip turned way more comfortable than it could have been. I arrived in Edinburgh super early, but I was allowed to leave my bags as early as 7:30. After a night ride bus from London, I craved a shower and bed, so I was super happy to hear that room would be ready by 12 instead of 3pm stated in the house rules. Finally, I had to leave early, too, to catch the train, and the host prepared the breakfast earlier than usual so that I could eat before departing. The room itself: cosy, clean, small, was ideal for a solo traveller. Oh, and the bath! The guest house was walking distance from the old town and Holyrood park, thus ideal for me. Highly recommend!

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.
