I had an excellent stay. Everything was exceptionally clean, and I was welcomed very warmly upon arrival bit also during my whole stay. Hospitality 10/10. The bed was very comfortable, and all the amenities were great. The breakfast was simple but more than enough to start the day. Overall, a wonderful experience — highly recommended! Location is so close to bus stop if you don't want to take beautiful opportunity of walking to city centre on the Water of Leith Walkway

The House is beautiful and very special. James and Olga are just lovely and so helpful, but let us have enough personal space and privacy. The bed was very comfortable, we slept like babies. We also really enjoyed the delicious breakfast.

The Guest House is very welcoming, quite close to the city center. The host is really kind and helpful. The room is small but clean, the breakfast is excellent and plentiful (both sweet and savory, including the classic Scottish breakfast).

The guest house was in a great location. Next to the bus station, 5 minutes away from Waverley station. Our room was clean with firm comfy beds, exactly as we requested. Murray, our host, was helpful and polite, and looked after us so well. Our room had a great view from the windows. The breakfast was lovely. The rooms were quieter than I had expected given the location.

This 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.

Cosy guesthouse at the charming heart of Bruntsfield, an adorable part of Edinburgh. Close to small, vibrant boutiques and bars and just some minutes away from the city center.
