10/10 Exceptional

Perfect location for travelling in and out of Edinburgh city centre, with a bus stop right outside the guesthouse. Check in with slick and smooth and Kingsley were very accommodating with an early check in after my delayed journey to Edinburgh. My room was super cute, cosy, clean and comfortable! Loved the little Scottish touches of a bottle of irn bru, water and biscuits! I had the best nights sleep after a fun filled day in the capital and would highly recommend staying here! Looking forward to another trip soon!

Nice hotel and good rooms. But total failure from hotel/hotels.com that I was promised breakfast included and there was no breakfast despite saying so on booking. So bad and will demand reimbursement.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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)

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!
