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.

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!

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

Terrific B and B!

Very welcoming hosts! Perfect stay in Edinburgh. They pay attention to detail and want to make everything just right. Close to everything you want to see. Very clean and possibly the most comfortable bed in any hotel I've been in. Breakfast made to order. Wonderful stay.

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.

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)

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.

Wir haben drei Nächte hier verbracht und hatten insgesamt einen sehr schönen Aufenthalt in Edinburgh. Das Guest House liegt strategisch äußerst gut, denn die Busstation ist quasi vor der Haustür. Dort hält der Airlink Bus 300 vom/zum Flughafen und eine Vielzahl anderer Buslinien, die alle in wenigen Minuten direkt in die Altstadt fahren. Die Gastgeber waren nett und zuvorkommend, die Unterkunft fast peinlich sauber. Absolute Spitzenklasse! Unser Twinroom (2 einzelne Betten) lag im obersten Stock unter dem Dach, das dazugehörige Bad jedoch auf dem Flur. Das war für uns nicht weiter schlimm, ging aber aus der Beschreibung nicht hervor. Das sollte vor der Buchung bekannt gegeben werden. Das Frühstück war super lecker und ausreichend - es gab immer genug frisch gebrühten Kaffee und fehlende Sachen wurden auf Anfrage nachgelegt. Unsere Anregung hier - im Zeitalter der Nachhaltigkeit: Anstatt der vielen einzeln verpackten Müsliportionen und kleinen Marmeladen-Plastikpackungen sollte man unbedingt auf Müsli-Spender und Marmeladengläser oder -schalen umstellen, um den Müll zu vermeiden. Das Doppelzimmer war extrem sauber, jedoch für 2 Personen mit Gepäck nicht allzu groß, es reicht jedoch vollkommen aus. Die Betten sind mit bequemen Kopfkissen und komfortabler Bettdecke ausgestattet. Eine Anregung auch hier: Es sollte dringend über neue Matratzen nachgedacht werden, denn diese sind wirklich komplett durchgelegen. Alles in allem ist die Unterkunft aber auf jeden Fall zu empfehlen!!
