Our host, Louise was very helpful and friendly, since we had a problem with our hired car. She offered us even her mobile to contact the car rental company. Each day she gave us a new bag with some snacks and tee and coffee bags. The room was clean, nice bathroom and the beds were comfortable. Everything well maintained. We had the superior double room on the backside, very noise free room. The only shortcoming, the room was a bit small as usual in UK. 14 m2 is not that much 😉. So, if you need more space, book the “Superior double or two bedrooms”. On the backside of the guest house, you can park your car, enough space, just be carefully driving your car through the somewhat tight entryway. So, all in all we were very satisfied.

The rooms were cosy. Breakfest was served in a bag and was sufficient for us fringe goers. Many fringe theathers were within a walking distance (we like walking, but there are busses available also.) peaceful. Not cheap. But functioned very well for us.

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 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!

We really loved our stay in Edinburgh, and this guest house suited our needs for this trip perfectly. Good sized, comfortable and clean room with everything we needed (we had a room in the basement). Great quiet location, and perfect for a walk to the city center. Good selection of cafes, shops and resturants/pubs nearby. Overall great value for the price!

    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.
