Enjoyable stay

I very much enjoyed staying here. The room was perfectly clean and neatly decorated. The bed was incredibly comfortable and I slept well. Warm welcome and excellent breakfast too. Would be very happy to stay again.

10/10 Exceptional

Quiet, convenient location

We really enjoyed our stay with Alan and Alison (and Mr Tom). The room was the perfect size for us, with a modern bathroom, plenty of closet space, and a comfy bed. The breakfast options worked well for us, with Alan cooking breakfast items as requested. Several buses stop almost at the front door of the property; it was straightforward to get almost anywhere in the city. There were several restaurants and grocery stores a 10-15 walk from the B&B (also accessible by bus). We’d happily stay there again!

Perfect base to stay in Edinburgh

Lovely B&B, close to the city, friendly hosts with great recommendations and a fantastic breakfast. Just what we needed as a base for our stay in Edinburgh over Christmas! Parking is free but it is on a nearby street parking.

10/10 Exceptional

A Beautiful B&B in a beautiful area, our room was lovely and very welcoming. Great location, just a quick bus ride into The Royal Mile. We loved our stay at Kingsley. Alan was a lovely host and cooks a beautiful breakfast. Also a special mention to Mr Tom, who is the sweetest house member.
Sacha, 7-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We had a wonderful stay, the room was clean and facilities just what we needed. Breakfast options were amazing. Alan is a lovely host , with Allison working hard behind the scenes. Tom is a friendly dog , lovely to be welcomed with a wagging tail, very well mannered. We most certainly will be returning. Thank you for a lovely stay.

10/10 Exceptional

I can't say enough great things about The Kingsley. The location is amazing, with just a quick bus ride taking you all over Edinburgh. The hosts' hospitality and local knowledge was second to none and they saved us a lot of searching and time when it came to our day trips. Breakfast was wonderful and offered a lot of high-quality options, all freshly prepared by Alan each day. The room was comfy and clean, and the house itself had a lot of Victorian character and charm. Highly recommended.
Bryan, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Allen was a very hospitable host. I was glad he was willing to help me understand new things that as a first time out of the US traveler had difficulty with. Breakfast was prepared in a timely manner, and filling. I highly recommend.

Lovely stay

My favorite part about this location was Tom, the springer spaniel. The place was nice, breakfast was lovely, and the location was only a 20-25 min walk from the city center. Alan was welcoming and helped get my suitcase up the stairs. All in all a very pleasant stay. I would recommend. (You may want to ask for a tutorial on the shower, I didn't and I ran out of water)

Good experience

I like the location. The bus is just next to the house. The responsable gave us some information about the famous attractions in Edinburgh. He has a dog called Tom. He's very friendly. It was the first time i wasn't scared of a dog. I noticed just that the room isn't warm enough. But in general i liked the experience

Well presented B&B with excellent rooms, service and great value. My room was very well decorated, modern and extremely clean. Very comfy beds, good amenities and a first rate breakfast service. Cant go wrong. Highly recommended.

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel was very clean, cosy and comfortable! We enjoyed the time that we've spend there! Alan and Allison were very kind and friendly - they can provide very good tips about what you can visit in the city.
Andrey, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The bus stops right outside every few mins for easy transport into town center (about 2 miles away). Nearest pub for food/drink is about a 15 min walk away. Staff were lovely and very helpful and made us feel very welcome - would definitely stay here again!

Clean and comfortable B&B with good breakfast

Clean and comfortable B&B with good cooked to order breakfast and attentive hosts. Walking distance (25 mins +) to the city centre, also serviced by main bus routes with easy access to restaurants/cafes and located in a nice and safe area. I wouldn’t recommend for business the room I booked (single room) as it did not have a desk or a place to work and I had a two hour meeting sitting in bed in an uncomfortable position. There was electrical work during my stay which meant the Internet wasn’t working and I couldn’t charge my laptop but the hosts kept me informed and tried to rectify as soon as possible. Internet speed was ok, I think more charging points would have been beneficial. Check-in times are restricted, please check if you are arriving late (after 10 pm) as there is a surcharge. Free parking is available off-site, in adjacent streets to the B&B.
