Everything! Amazing hospitality with excellent recommendations for dinner. All staff happy to help whatever the request. The club room with bar was a brilliant touch. Can’t wait to go back!

It was absolutely incredible. Luxurious yet homely. The attention to detail was phenomenal. The breakfast is the best we’ve ever had and we stay away A LOT!

Nothing particular comes to mind.

The breakfast will spoil you for the rest of you life. Every day it is special breakfast in a Georgian setting dining room. The hotelrooms are cozy and romantic by design, quiet and spacious. The location was an absolute pre, away from the massive tourisme and the busline(s) will take you every 5 minutes into town. The ride into Old town will take you only 8 minutes, in heavy traffic, from the busstop in front of the hotel. And take you back to the hotel whenever you want, with bars like the Old bell in walking distance

This was a beautiful property, with gorgeous fittings and decor. The bed was really comfortable too. The owners were lovely and welcoming and the breakfast was possibly the best I’ve ever had in a hotel. being from Edinburgh originally and having recently moved west I know the area well. it’s in a great part of the southside, fifteen to twenty minutes walk to the old town and Waverley Station but nicely quiet and well served by busses. next time we have to stay over in Edinburgh it will be here for sure.

What a place! Absolutely incredible in every way. The food was amazing and so creative every breakfast time and it felt like a home from home with our hosts being so welcoming. Ross provided us with recommendations for fantastic places to eat and visit so that we made the best of our trip. Would 100% return.

We spent a lovely 2 days in Edinburgh. 23 Mayfield is a wonderful guest house. From the moment we arrived until we left we were made to feel very welcome by Ross and Kathleen. The location is brilliant, the breakfast was excellent and the room we had was absolutely outstanding. I cannot recommend this boutique guest house enough, we shall be returning!!

The room we had had a very confusing lighting set up and lack of plug next to the bed. No conditioner in the bathroom. Otherwise, fantastic.

Beautifully decorated. Fantastic lounge and honesty bar. Breakfast was superb. Great location, hosts and recommendations.

Nothing, it is faultless.

Faultless. Warm welcome from the hosts who were more than happy for us to arrive at 9am and leave the car to get the bus into the city centre for the day. Grounds and rooms spotless and smelled lovely with reed diffusers. Rooms all decorated traditionally to a very high standard. Breakfast was better than we have had from any 5* luxury hotel. Good quality bedding, towels and toiletries. Great location with several buses into the city centre from outside hotel. Cant wait to return.

Good location, buses every few minutes to centrum 50m away from hotel. Clean, cosy, great place in general. Beautiful Victorian building and nice interior.

very welcoming and breakfast was excellent. The team also accommodated my gluten intolerance and I felt like they went out of their way to provide for me.

Normally stay in good hotels but 23 Mayfield has changed my perception of the guest house. Top quality facility, great room & breakfast, parking and the most exceptional service from Ross & Kathleen👍

This property was all about the details - every part of the experience had been thought through. Along with a beautiful guest lounge with high speed internet and an honesty bar for alcohol, our room was very clean and intentional. The shower was great, the selection of bath soaps were remarkable, and the breakfast that was provided was beyond other places. The owners were a cute couple, and if it had been possible we would have extended our stay at 23 Mayfield for a few more nights. The internet was reliable and fast, as well as the decorations of the room being top tier!

Such an amazing place to stay and they couldn’t do enough for us. Food was fantastic, rooms are exceptional, and it had parking. Not a single thing that wasn’t top notch. Every detail was highest quality

My husband and I stayed here during the New Year on our first visit to Edinburgh. This was our first guesthouse experience. It would be surprising if we ever come across anywhere better in the future! It's all downhill from here. The guesthouse is extremely cosy. This is the kind of house you would imagine in a historical fantasy novel set in Edinburgh. Everything in the house was carefully chosen by its owners down to the smallest detail. For instance, my husband appreciated the Punch Comics on the wall dating back as early as the 1830s, whilst I appreciated the cutlery, the water you get served in your room with the hand-picked rosemary from their garden, the antique books they had on display, the astrolabe in the dining room, and so on. The food you get served in the morning is gourmet, looks good and tastes even better. The owners take care of the place themselves: they welcome you into the house and wish you goodbye, they cook the food, they do the cleaning and maintenance, etc. Overall: Not only does this place get a 10/10 but it has inspired us to only (or mostly) stay at guesthouses from now onwards.

I can't fault 23 Mayfield - I loved it.

Location was great - an easy journey into central Edinburgh - but with good bars and restaurants in the locality. The breakfasts were superb. I am gluten free and I was accommodated, even getting my own version of the daily "specials", which were unbelievably good. My daughter is vegetarian and said the veggie breakfasts were also delicious. The hosts were warm, welcoming and friendly and the guest house itself was superb - classy and tasteful decor, and a well stocked honesty bar too. We had a really lovely weekend and will definitely return.
