It’s like exactly as in the photo. Super comfy with daily cleaning. Staff is super friendly and just amazing. Special thanks to Martha for all her tips and support and her colleague with the help of my luggage. Location is good. Bus stop is just in front of the property and up to 20 min to city center.

Perfect location to use as base. Excellent and reasonably priced restaurants and bars within walking distance. Spacious and very comfortable rooms - we even had a small table with chairs in the room. We appreciated the coffee, tea and small instant breakfast that was provided. Small fridge was a bonus. Friendly and helpful hosts.

This is a fantastic place to stay in Edinburgh! The location is great because you're far enough away from the madness to relax, but still close to buses and downtown. The room we stayed in was also on the top floor and had beautiful skylights. It was so relaxing seeing the stars as we went to sleep! The owners are lovely and on the property so that was a great bonus.

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.
