We stayed in the garden room, and it was delightful! Large, well appointed and comfortable, with our own access to a shared garden. The hosts attention to detail was very apparent, and the room reflected this. Very centrally located, and a brisk walk to the royal mile. The included breakfast was delicious and the setting was immaculate. Felt very royal. Though i would have loved a hot course

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.
