The property is around 2.3 km from Camera Obscura and World of Illusions, 2.4 km from National Museum of Scotland and 1.7 km from The Real Mary King's Close. In good weather, guests are welcome to sit outside. The room was very comfortable and cozy, equipped with everything necessary for a short stay. The breakfast was also very generous, other than delicious. However, the best part was the owner's hospitality and kindness.

Roost Hill Guest House - Free Parking

Prestonfield, Edinburgh

Featuring garden views, Roost Hill Guest House - Free Parking offers accommodation with patio, around 2 km from Arthurs Seat. Among the facilities at this property are luggage storage space and private check-in and check-out, along with free WiFi throughout the property. Boasting family rooms, this property also provides guests with a sun terrace. 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!

Straven Guesthouse

The property features quiet street views and is 100 metres from Portobello Beach and 5.7 km from Edinburgh Playhouse. Royal Mile is 5.9 km from the guest house and Edinburgh Waverley station is 6.3 km away. 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.
