Situated in Edinburgh, the recently renovated 4 Friends House features accommodation 1.3 km from Royal Yacht Britannia and 3.1 km from Edinburgh Waverley station. Among the facilities at this property are luggage storage space and a housekeeping service, along with free WiFi throughout the property. Guests can access the guest house via private entrance. The room I stayed in was very clean, and the staff were extremely friendly. Even though there was no breakfast option, offering snacks was a really lovely touch. Bottled water was provided every day, and the room was cleaned regularly, which made me very happy. Additionally, having discounts at some local cafés nearby was a big plus.

At the guest house, units have a desk, a flat-screen TV, a private bathroom, bed linen and towels. The guest house features some units with mountain views, and the units have a kettle. At the guest house, all units are allergy-free. Everything was perfect, from location to facilities. Alia (the host) was such a sweetheart!!! She was always available for help and gave the best recommendations. I definitely recommend this guest house - there is a nearby bus stop, buses that take you straight to the city center for under 20 mins. Also, there is a big shopping center, just 5 mins walking distance, where you can find pretty much anything you need. The best value for the money we paid! Thanks again, Alia 💛

Situated in Edinburgh, near Edinburgh Waverley station, Edinburgh Playhouse and Royal Mile, Ben Cruachan Guest House features free WiFi. The property is around 2.6 km from University of Edinburgh, 2.7 km from Edinburgh Castle and 2.9 km from Royal Yacht Britannia. Located in the Broughton district, the guest house is within 6.2 km of Arthurs Seat. The room was very comfortable and cozy, equipped with everything necessary for a short stay. The breakfast was also very generous, other than delicious. However, the best part was the owner's hospitality and kindness.

Offering city views, Sheridan Guest House is an accommodation situated in Edinburgh, 2.8 km from Edinburgh Waverley station and 2.8 km from Edinburgh Playhouse. The 4-star guest house has garden views and is 1.7 km from Royal Yacht Britannia. Royal Mile is 3.1 km from the guest house and Camera Obscura and World of Illusions is 3.4 km away. Tom and Rowena were very friendly, caring and generous. We could checkin early and inside the guesthouse is decorated so well with beautiful art and artefacts. They serve hot scrumptious breakfast of your choice from the menu. We loved Rowena’s home baked sour bread . They use organic eggs and other high quality ingredients. Bus stop was just a minute’s walk.

Housed in a historic building, the recently renovated Straven Guesthouse provides accommodation with a shared lounge and free WiFi. The property features quiet street views and is 90 metres from Portobello Beach and 4.5 km from Arthurs Seat. Royal Yacht Britannia is 6.5 km from the guest house and Royal Mile is 6.6 km away. Sinead and Chris are probably the best hosts in the world. I slept across the hall from the kitchen / breakfast area and they were able to be very quiet! It's 1min walking to the beach and 3min to the bus stop. The bed was so comfy. The shower nice and hot. For breakfast you can have the usual plus some scottish options, all delicious. Felt safe the whole time as a solo traveller (including bus trip at night). 10/10.
