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.

The en suite bathroom was great, lots of space, nice large shower, and my favorite was the lighted mirror.

FAQ about guest houses in Edinburgh
Guest houses that travellers love in Edinburgh
- 9.2Scored 9.2SuperbRated superb· 100 reviewsAttention to detail and the quality and quantity of the equipment, furniture and fittings. Our host took care to ensure our stay went smoothly, and left some essentials in the kitchen for us. It was a warm, quiet and comfortable nest for our stay. The flat is closer to the city centre than it looks, but with the help of a good map, we quickly found the Old Town is easily reached through Holyrood, and Princes Street via Regent Road -both routes have cheap, frequent bus services.
NigelYoung couple - 9.0Scored 9.0SuperbRated superb· 579 reviewsThis 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.

MariaSolo traveller - 9.1Scored 9.1SuperbRated superb· 741 reviewsPerfectly located and within easy reach for the city centre. Bus stop opposite the house. Room very clean and comfortable, small en-suite bathroom. Cath is a charming host, always there to help. We got to know her guesthouse in 2019 already and so missed the cooked breakfast this year. Nevertheless she offered fresh fruit and cereals in the morning which we also liked. When we are in Edinburgh, we'll choose Alba House again.
