Great hotel, convenient location, bus stop and grocery store nearby. Very friendly staff, as soon as you cross the threshold, you feel like you are visiting close friends. Everything is clean, the room had everything you needed. I was pleased with the choice of tea, coffee and milk. If you had any comments or ideas on how to improve the service, there was a questionnaire on the table. But I didn't need it because everything was going very well for me. Thank you for your hospitality.

Perfect location to use as base. Excellent and reasonably priced restaurants and bars within walking distance. Spacious and very comfortable rooms - we even had a small table with chairs in the room. We appreciated the coffee, tea and small instant breakfast that was provided. Small fridge was a bonus. Friendly and helpful hosts.

Amazing place to stay! Fully met our expectations! The room was very beautiful. The guesthouse is very nice, you can even use a fridge in the common room. There is a small supermarket at a walking distance. It's also 30 mins walking to the centre, which is not far away.

    Fabulous - What previous guests thought, 1,824 reviews
    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.
