Housed in a historic building, the recently renovated Kingston Guesthouse provides accommodation with a garden and free WiFi. This guest house features free private parking and luggage storage space. The guest house features family rooms. We had a very pleasant stay at this guest house. The house itself is very nice, with pretty, clean room. The location is great. Within walking distance of Edinburgh city centre, and there’s also a bus stop nearby if you prefer not to walk. Parking is available, but spaces are limited, so it’s a good idea to reserve in advance. The staff were lovely and welcoming. One small note: rooms on the higher floors might be a challenge for elderly guests or anyone with mobility issues, as the stairs are quite steep.

At the guest house, units have a desk, 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. Alia was extremely attentive, even from the moment we arrived until the moment we left. She always responded promptly, was super attentive, helpful, and friendly. She helped us with numerous tips and other details that weren't even necessary for the experience, going far beyond what was expected! The room was impeccable, super clean, and everything was very well organized and tidy. We were extremely satisfied with our stay and the great experience we had. We felt very welcomed! thank you very much, Alia!

Situated in Edinburgh, near Edinburgh Waverley station, Edinburgh Playhouse and Royal Mile, Ben Cruachan Guest House features free WiFi. The property is around 2.6 km from University of Edinburgh, 2.7 km from Edinburgh Castle and 2.9 km from Royal Yacht Britannia. Located in the Broughton district, the guest house is within 6.2 km of Arthurs Seat. I enjoyed my stay immensely. Ollie was super welcoming and I felt comfortable from the first moment. The rooms and beds are big enough and have a homely feel to them. The breakfast is insanely good. Would recommend everything but definitely try the porridge with whisky, honey and cream. I'll definitely be back whenever I visit Edinburgh. Location is near the tram as well.
