The property has city views and is 1.8 km from The Real Mary King's Close and 1.7 km from Edinburgh Waverley station.

The House is ideally located and is just beautiful. Our room had fabulous views of the city and was luxurious and comfortable. Carole and George were welcoming and friendly, which made the stay even better. It was awesome chatting with Carole in the mornings, getting to know her story and the story of the house a bit better, as well as receiving recommendations on things to do/places to go. The quality of the breakfast was excellent and everything was delicious, including the home made jam!! If I could rate it an 11 I would !! Highly recommended and would love to come back.

Roost Hill Guest House - Free Parking

Prestonfield, Edinburgh

At the guest house, units have a wardrobe, a flat-screen TV, a private bathroom, bed linen and towels. The guest house features some units with mountain views, and the units have a kettle. At the guest house, all units are allergy-free. Really clear advance info from Alia on access to Roost Hill, buses etc. She was super-helpful & kind during the stay, with prompt replies to queries. Spotless room, with careful, creative attention to making it attractive, welcoming & comfortable. Shower room well designed in a compact space. Plenty of tea/coffee on the hospitality tray with extras available on a help yourself basis. Excellent value for money & the room is smarter than many that charge more! We were in Edinburgh for The Fringe & usually stay in the city centre but prices were so high this year we chose to stay a little further out & use the bus. Roost Hill was in a fantastic location for this - the no 33 bus is so close by it was as easy as being further into the city, & it runs 3x per hour, is reliable & tickets are only £2 a single for any distance, it seemed. The location was great for the city centre, & the hospitality & presentation of Roost Hill were excellent. We were able to leave bags safely when we arrived very early, & leave them securely at the end of our stay & return to collect them later so it was very convenient. Alia is doing a great job at Roost Hill - thank you!

The room itself was lovely, with many little details like shortbread cookies, a wee dram to partake, and a perfect set up for tea and coffee. The room was elegant and cozy at the same time!

Straven Guesthouse

Portobello, Edinburgh

Housed in a historic building, the recently renovated Straven Guesthouse provides accommodation with a shared lounge and free WiFi. The property features quiet street views and is 100 metres from Portobello Beach and 5.7 km from Edinburgh Playhouse. University of Edinburgh is 6.8 km from the guest house and Camera Obscura and World of Illusions is 6.8 km away.

The guest house features certain units with sea views, and all units include a private bathroom. Chris and Sinead were incredible hosts and made us feel at home from check-in. The breakfast each morning was something we looked forward to each day. It was restaurant quality (wife asked for a recipe) and the soft background music (personal note here) was spot on. Our room was spacious and the bed was very comfortable. The property is located near a bus stop, so getting around isn’t an issue. Lastly, it’s a 2 minute (max) skip down to the beach. It’s one block away.

Whitecroft B&B

Edinburgh

Situated in Edinburgh, within 16 km of Murrayfield Stadium and 16 km of Edinburgh Zoo, Whitecroft B&B features accommodation with a garden and free WiFi as well as free private parking for guests who drive. The property is around 18 km from EICC, 19 km from National Museum of Scotland and 19 km from The Real Mary King's Close. Edinburgh Castle is 20 km from the guest house and Hopetoun House is 20 km away. The establishment was quite small - only three rooms - but that only adds to the charm. The rooms are clean, charming, and equipped with everything you might need, with the exception of a microwave and refrigerator. The bathroom was very clean. The owner was an absolute dream. She was nice and very helpful. I had the vegetarian breakfast and it was delicious. There is a bus stop two minutes away which is very convenient if you plan to ride the bus into the city center. The fare for a single trip on the bus, since it is a Lothian country bus, is £3 and you must have exact change to buy a ticket on the bus.
