Guest Reviews

• Julia (9/5): -
• Diana (10/5): -
• Taracena (10/5): Great property owned by a caring couple that puts love into their property! - Rooms were spacious, comfortable and well thought out. The ease of checking in early after our flight landed…
• Gustavo (10/5): Good Location - Spotless Property - Friendly Hosts - Very good locations. Hosts are very attentive and customer oriented. I was travelling by myself, and therefore I chose the room with a single twin bed. Please note that the bathroom (private) is not in-suite, which for me was OK, but I know that it could be an inconvenience for other. Very easy to move around the city center in public transportation. The property is very well kept and super clean.
• Magdalena (8/5): Lindisimo hotel a minutos del centro - Si bien no está en el centro, el autobús (que para literalmente en la puerta) te deja bien. Se nota que está atendido con mucho amor. El desayuno muy rico, las habitaciones muy lindas. La cama matrimonial es muy pequeña pero se ve que es normal en UK porque en todos lados me pasó lo mismo
• Philo (10/5): Perfect accommodation and fabulous breakfasts. - Exceptionally comfortable and welcoming. Everything was perfect!
• Amanda (10/5): -
• Gavin (9/5): - Very friendly welcome, clean and comfortable throughout, good breakfast, useful complimentary parking to front.. House beautifully decorated, narrow stairs to upper floor may be difficult for some .
• Stephen (10/5): Excellent location for a short or longer stay - Room was excellent with a lovely view of Arthur’s seat and the park. Breakfast was also excellent. The staff were exceptionally good, kind, attentive and helpful. Close to bus stops for the centre. Short walk to park and centre. The street was sometimes noisy at night with groups awaiting buses.
• Cujo91 (10/5): Struttura accogliente in un' ottima posizione - Siamo stati accolti in una bellissima casa molto comoda per raggiungere tutti i punti interessanti della città in poco tempo. Ci siamo sentiti coccolati da host attenti e gentili. Molto buona e ricca la colazione. Nulla
• Carla (10/5): Un bel soggiorno in una bella struttura con degli host attenti e gentili. Ottima colazione. - Accogliente e pulita in una zona tranquilla a circa 25 minuti a piedi dal centro Nulla.
• Elizabeth (10/5): we have a fabulous time the staff were lovely and would do anything to help - everything clean and bright nothing
• Devayani (9/5): Highly recommended, clean, comfortable, quiet, convenient and would not hesitate to rebook - Lovely little touches made for a very comfortable and welcoming stay. Hardly anything except for the shower head that would not stay upright
• Cedric (8/5): Sehr gutes Frühstück. Super Host. - Sehr gutes Frühstück. Super Host.
• Morfo (10/5): One of our most pleasant stays in recent years - From the moment we arrived, our host was incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel welcome right away. The room was clean, comfortable, and beautifully decorated, with a lovely view of the garden.
• yount (7/5): nice property a bit far from city center. street noise way too much - nice staff too noisy. street room was very noisy
• Martina (10/5): - Das Frühstück war sehr gut und immer frisch zubereitet, beim Heimflug musste ich früher weg und habe eine Jausenbox mitbekommen :-), die Gastgeber sind außergewöhnlich freundlich und nett, direkt vor der Tür ist die Bushaltetstelle. Ich würde jederzeit wieder hier wohnen :-), danke an die lieben Gastgeber Nichts
• Ludivine (9/5): - La gentillesse des hôtes, la chambre victorienne aux belles proportions, la facilité en bus ou à pied de rallier le centre ville historique, et j'ajoute un petit déjeuner vraiment parfait avec des produits frais, bref je recommande
• gill (9/5): Homely guest house - The hosts were very welcoming, lovely family and nothing was too much trouble. The breakfasts were lovely. I was also able to arrive early as the room was ready, plus that got me a parking space, albeit limited parking it was very important to me as carrying equipment for the fringe and saved me money and time trying to find suitable parking. The house is a good walk to the Royal Mile, but not a problem if you like walking. There are bus stops outside the property with regular buses into the town. All in all a very good stay.
• Jean-Francois (10/5): Tout simplement parfait - Un couplée d'hôtes très attentionné, un petit déjeuner absolument délicieux, un emplacement qui garantit à la fois proximité du centre historique et tranquillité. La guesthouse est des plus charmantes !
• Kevin (10/5): A lovely B&B with lovely host. Great place for Edinburgh travellers - Clean, Next to bus stop which goes directly to city centre in 15 mins
• Andrea (10/5): -
• Phoebe (10/5): Comfortable and classy bed and breakfast - Gladstone House is a charming property located about 25 to 30 minutes to downtown Edinburgh area. The room we stayed it was gorgeous, and had a lovely sitting area near huge bay windows. Since this house is not located deep in the city, there is not too much noise outside and we kept the windows open during the day. The bathroom facilities were clean and new. If you stay multiple days, the room can be cleaned and coffee/snacks restocked inside the room. Breakfast was amazing and made by the wonderful Ivy. It was a pleasure meeting the hosts and being able to stay two days in Edinburgh. If you are driving, there are two parking spots outside of the house as well.
• Geraldine (10/5): We really loved the place. - Wonderful service, friendly people, lovely room
• Blazina (10/5): -
• Kristina (9/5): - Sehr freundliche Gastgeber und leckeres Frühstück. Gut gelegen und fußläufig von diversen Restaurants, Pub und Bars.
• Taylor (10/5): - Good couple running the place, helped us with everything we needed, offering us good quiet parking, and leaving our luggage there on the check out day so we could back into the city again which is a quick bus ride or you can walk but the bus is cheap enough.
• Amber (8/5): -
• Veronica (9/5): Despite the crazy hot weather. Ivy did her utmost to make me feel welcome and tried to help me stay cool! - Lovely old property, great location Bedroom was exceptionally hot, fan on full blast and lots of cold water showers and ice helped. Old houses and particularly rooms at the top of them are not good in hot weather.. not the property’s fault… just the way it is!
• Dinis (10/5): Great apartment, close to city center and hiking area - The apartment was comfy and clean, located just 10 minutes by bus from the city center and 10 minutes on foot from hiking trails. The host was very kind, gave us all the necessary instructions, offered us cold lemonade in the heat, and helped store our luggage after check-out until our departure time. Nothing to complain about.
• Tina (9/5): Perfect for my visit to the Scottish swimming champs - Very comfortable accommodation, private bathroom was external but I had my own key to access it. Best B&B I have stayed in so far in Edinburgh. Parking space was a bonus too Nothing
• Angelika (10/5): .... - .... ....
• Diana (8/5): -
• Jon (8/5): -
• john (9/5): Relaxing and very comfortable. - Very clean. Very hospitable. Excellent breakfast.
• Sabine (10/5): Perfect stay to explore Edinburgh - perfect house to stay and explore Edinburgh. hosts are really friendly and helpful, breakfast was excellent. the house is decorated with preserving original features but offering a maximum of comfort. the bathroom were newly refurbished and in excellent working condition.. the bus to the city centre stops literally in front of the guest hourse. but you also easily can reach the city centre by foot within 30 min. lots of pubs/restaurants in the area. Arthurs Seat can be reached within 1 hour by foot. everything was spot on.
• Andrew (10/5): -
• Kimberley (10/5): -
• Gemma (10/5): -
• Mustafa (10/5): - Kahvaltı diğer otellerden farklıydı. Kişiye özel servis yapılıyor. Tura katılıp otel kahvaltısını kaçırdığımız sabah için geceden sandviçlerimiz hazırlanıp buzdolabına bırakıldı. Bu çok kibar bir davranıştı.
• Gareth (6/5): Poor value for money - View from bedroom was very nice Far to walk into city takes 30-40 minutes. Very expensive for room only, especially when compared with other properties nearer the old town. No bar or lounge area
• Filippo (9/5): -
• Weatherill (10/5): Best porridge ever ! - The bedroom was lovely , well decorated with a view over the garden , the whole property was beautiful . The place was spotless ! The owners couldn't do enough for us they were so welcoming The breakfast was delicious we had porridge and the full breakfast enjoyed these . The bed was comfortable and we slept really well . Parking on the front was available for us to use . It was an easy walk into the city centre we didn't use the bus . There were plenty of restaurants a couple of streets away .
• Brian (8/5): Nice place, good breakfast, but felt more like a hotel instead of a B&B. - The accommodations were great, and the breakfast was also very good. The owners were very polite, and accommodating. The reason I marked staff as very good instead of excellent is because I would have like to see them interact more with the guests. The reason I stay at a B&B instead of a hotel, is to hopefully learn about the area through conversations with the B&B owners. I felt like these owners did not want to interact with us at all.
• Paulo (8/5): Lovely Victorian style B&B - Beautifully decorated, lovely staff and comfortable cosy facilities. Expected the room and toilet to be a bit bigger, but they are nonetheless comfortable and well equipped.
• Christian (9/5): Great little find of a guest house, would stay here again! - It was quiet, clean and very friendly! Nothing.
• Matt (6/5): Amazing view of Arthur's seat but busy street - Spacious room, nice décor and amazing view of Arthur's seat! I was surprised how spacious the room was. In general very happy with the traditional décor and a nice coffee table Next to a busy street so noisy at night better get good earplugs, we also confirmed cleaning was not required but our room was cleaned anyway and all the windows closed which resulted in poor sleep as was way too hot (unusual problem to have in Scotland), and the staircase very narrow so tricky if you have a big bag, bathroom is quite small but functional
• David (10/5): Lovely accommodation in Edinburgh 🌺 - After the long trip from York, we had a lovely welcome from Ivy & Xia. The apartment was beautifully clean & comfortable. They were both happy to help us with any queries we had. We would certainly recommend this apartment to fellow travellers.
• Dougal (8/5): I'd use Gladstone House again should I return to Edinburgh. - Good location. It's walkable, but not super-easy with heavy bags, from the station. There's a bus stop barely 50m down the street. Nice dining room and great breakfasts. The play-off between noise from the street and ventilation. Aircon is relatively uncommon in UK / Europe, so opening a window is the primary method of getting some air moving. In room 1, facing the street, that also means traffic noise. 08:00 breakfast start. Most mornings I was off, out doing things by 08:00. Still, on my last morning ... waiting for a cab ... Xian did make me some coffee and toast. My room was a single, possibly the only one, and it was rather cozy.
• Roxane (10/5): - Great stay, hosts were very warm and accommodating. No complaints at all. Will definitely book again.
• Celia (10/5): The coziest stay in Edinburgh! - This was the PERFECT place for us to say! The proximity to the bus stop to take into town was unbeatable--essentially right outside our door. It was so easy to hop on first thing in the morning and be right in the center of town. The room was so cute and cozy, and the dining area and breakfast served was wonderful. Our host was so kind and left so much great information about things to do and see around Edinburgh. I cannot recommend enough! It is perfect for travelers looking for something calming and out of the main hub of the city. Nothing negative I can think of! :)
• Salar (10/5): Recommend - Lovely place to stay, we had a very good size room with a nice view on the second floor. Room was very clean and the host was very helpful. Close to bus stop or a 15min walk to get to old town
• Galit (7/5): - The location was good and the staff was friendly and helpful They publish that they have parking but there is only 2 spots for all the gust and of course it was not available We staid for 4 nights and received the room in the 2nd floor which was not comfortable and that is an understatement Climbing up and down in those steep stairs was harsh on my knees The bed was small for 2 people and extremely uncomfortable Basically i didn't sleep for 4 nights
• Iniesta (10/5): Sitio espectacular. Buena elección - El personal muy amable. Las instalaciones preciosas. El desayuno perfecto Por poner un pero, quizás está un poco retirado del centro ( 30/40 minutos caminando)
• Herminia (9/5): - La limpieza y acogedor que era
• Neeraj (10/5): Sensational stay for a 30th birthday long weekend - We loved the location of the B&B Absolutely loved the breakfast, we had the Scottish breakfast, pancakes, omelette - all wonderful The room was clean and looked out over Arthur's Seat. Great en suite, heating works a treat. We didn't like leaving :D
• Gerhard (10/5): Sehr empfehlenswert - hat unsere Erwartungen übertroffen - Sehr sauberes und schönes Zimmer, tolles Bett, sehr einladende Atmosphäre des Hauses, reichhaltiges Frühstück und vor allem Ivy, eine äußerst freundliche und hilfsbereite Gastgeberin. Keine Beanstandungen
• Stacie (10/5): - The owners were wonderful! We enjoyed our stay and the breakfast was delicious!
• torsten (10/5): Perfekt für einen Ausflug nach Edinburgh - Alles sehr sauber und heimelig eingerichtet.Extrem zuvorkommende Gastgeber!
• Susan (9/5): - This cozy guest house is beautifully decorated and maintained. We had a large room with a view of Arthur’s Seat. The breakfast room is particularly nice. Breakfast was delicious. It‘s a bit too far from the center to walk. Buses run frequently, though.
• Caitcdfn (10/5): - Staff were amazing, super Friendly! Left us a little celebratory gift which was so thoughtful and appreciated. Room was cozy and spotless. So happy with our stay!
• Thomas (9/5): -
• Ben (8/5): Prima verblijf op een goede locatie. - Prima locatie, aardige eigenaars, mooie kamer, uitstekend ontbijt. Het bed in onze kamer (4) was wel erg klein en het matras is aan vervanging toe.
• Paula (10/5): - Gladstone House was exactly what I needed for my short solo stay in Edinburgh. Super clean and very charming. I would stay here again if I am back in the city.
• Rebecca (7/5): The property is run by a lovely couple who are very kind and helpful. - It would have been much nicer to have an en-suite room.
• Chun suet (10/5): -
• Charles (10/5): - The house was very lovely and the rooms were spacious. The stairs to the 2nd floor rooms are a bit steep though. It's a bit of a walk into old town, and there are few restaurants in the area, so plan accordingly.
• Christoph (9/5): -
• Vadim (8/5): Good in good location. - Good location on a quiet street, close to a bus stop. The city center can be reached by foot. The staff is very friendly. We left early for our flight, but the owners prepared a breakfast box for us. On Booking.com, the property is listed as having free parking, but in reality, there are only two parking spots available on-site. If those are taken, you'll need to find parking in the surrounding area. The bed was very low with an old, uncomfortable mattress.
• Monica (10/5): Incredibly nice hosts, beautiful room. Great place to stay. - Property was lovely. The hosts were especially generous and politely very sweet and helpful. No complaints.
• Eduard (10/5): -
• Noel (8/5): -

• Carlos (8/5): -
• Seán (10/5): -
• lisa (10/5): -
• Fred (9/5): Home away from home south of the Royal Mile... - Clean, comfortable, quiet despite being right on Dalkeith Road. Wonderful breakfast, friendly hosts. Loved the view of Arthur's Seat out the window (and proximity to the Seat and the Crags for hiking). A little farther than I'd like - 30 minutes walk - to the Royal Mile. But since I don't really mind the walk at all, it didn't bother me much.
• David (10/5): -
• Martin (10/5): - Very friendly, the room was cozy with an amazing view of Arthur's Seat. Great accessibility to the city center, with a bus stop right outside the accommodation.
• Susan (7/5): - Proximity to everything Price
• Chad (10/5): -
• Fatima (10/5): -
• susan (9/5): - Great location! Nothing.
• Katarzyna (8/5): - The staff was very friendly and helpful, beautiful rooms, very clean, good location. There was no hot water in the first days, although staff solved this issue very quickly. We had the room with the window facing busy street and it was quite loud during the night, we had some trouble sleeping.
• Richard (9/5): A very pleasant stay - Very pleasant landlord and land lady who could not be more helpful. The room was comfortable with a modern bathroom. Breakfast was excellent.
• Luke (10/5): Family trip to Edinburgh - Excellent location and fantastic service!
• Sofia (9/5): -
• Paul (10/5): Geweldig - De gastvrijheid van de staf was super. Ik werd door Ivy super ontvangen. Verder een schone kamer en een lekker ontbijt. Locatie was ook goed, net buiten het drukke centrum. Het was wat prijzig voor mijn doen maar Edinburgh in zomertijd is dat in het algemeen
• Karen (10/5): Beautifully decorated, clean and luxurious stay with fantastically helpful staff in a great location for us - easy bus r - Very plush and clean and staff very friendly and warm. Perfect !!
• Clare (8/5): - Good location for visiting the university. Very clean and good wifi. Floor quite creaky in places, but not surprising given age of building. Pretty expensive, but everywhere seemed to be expensive around the same time.
• Marcus (8/5): -
• Adina (9/5): -
• Nikhil Bharat (8/5): -
• Christoph (9/5): Jederzeit wieder - Ruhige Lage.des Zimmers, ausgiebiges Frühstück, britisch und continental, sehr freundliches Gastgeber-ehepaar, schnelle Busverbindung in die Innenstadt. War alles ok.
• Tiia (8/5): -
• Lara (10/5): - Ivy and her husband were gracious hosts. I had a wonderful stay that exceeded my expectations. I felt safe, welcomed, and at home. The location is excellent, making it easy to get around. All amenities provided were a cut above the rest, and the breakfast was superb.
• Henrique (10/5): E excelente eatadia . Retornaríamos com certeza - A localização na frente do ponto de ônibus . Cordialidade dos proprietários excelente Quarto com decoração bonita e bem confortável . Às amenidades Nao tinha como escolher individualmente a temperatura . Era central . Do mais tudo perfeito
• Tarvi (10/5): Very positive experience. - The rooms are kept very clean, the WIFI is fast/stable and the location is in a quiet neighbourhood. Very atmospheric dining room and freshly prepared breakfast. It is a walking distance from the Adam's seat, local grocery shops and the down town. No direct connection with the airport, except taxi. In addition, people may feel that a 20-30 minute walk to the city center is too long, they need to rely on a bus or a taxi. Therefore, you need to plan your travel a little bit.
