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.

The cosy style of the facility is amazing! I felt like being at home. It was clean and bright, comfortable bed, excellent location with some nice bars not far away from the property. I also prefer quiet environment, so it was just a perfect one without any noise. The host is a very nice person, taking care of everything you need.

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.
