Edinburgh Central Guest House - Edinburgh

This was a lovely guesthouse in the heart of New Town. Only blocks from Princes St. Gardens, and a short (but steep) walk to the Royal Mile. The owners were very friendly and helpful, and the accomodations were clean and comfortable. This guesthouse was a pleasant suprise! I would definitely stay here again if I return to Edinburgh.

I am an American student who was traveling from London to spend two days and a night in Edinburgh. The Central Guest House was a great deal for the money. They had free wifi and a satisfying breakfast in the morning. The bathrooms were spotless and very modern. I slept very comfortably as well! I would suggest it to anyone who doesn't like the stuffiness […] or price of a hotel. I felt right at home, unbothered and very relaxed here. Read more

Edinburgh Central Guest House is located in New Town, just a very short walk (maybe ten minutes) from Princes Street in Central Edinburgh. The hosts could not have been more accommodating--especially when they were kind enough to let me in hours after the listed evening cut-off time, when my flight arrived very late into Edinburgh Airport and I had […] to come knocking after 2:00 a.m! The breakfast spread is awfully nice, too--and served right on the premises downstairs. (Website states that breakfast is served at a nearby restaurant, but this is no longer the case.) If you are comfortable with a shared bath (there are two for eight rooms), I would certainly recommend everything this accomodation has to offer--primarily for its great location and warm hosts.

Hotel location is good for shopping in Princes St.

First and foremost my satisfaction with my stay rests heavily on the wonderful hostess Johanna. She made the guest house feel like a home while we were there; helping recommend restaurants, introducing us to other guests, and simply being a wonderful person to chat with. My room was small but beautifully decorated and the bed was very comfortable. I […] was supposed to share a bathroom (all rooms are not en suites) but because the guest wasn't fully booked I had it all to myself. Breakfast was plain but served with smiles and a fabulous cup of coffee (for those of us who aren't tea drinkers). The guest house is a bit of a walk from most of the Old Town attractions - about 20 minutes. Not a terrible distance and the scenery is quite nice but massive renovation projects in New Town did make the trek rather noisy. Read more

I severely enjoyed my stay at Edinburgh Central Guest House. Due to some poor planning, I had to arrive earlier in the day and had a pleasant communication prior to arrival - great sign. When I arrived, I was greeted with friendlyness. The room was quaint, beautifully decorated and a comfortable bed. It had a shared bathroom, which was very nice and […] accessible (didn't have to wait to use at all). The area is wonderful. I'm a bit biased, because I'm a vegetarian and super appreciated being down the road from Henderson's restaurant but walking to the castle & the city centre was also very easy. I suggest you utilize a map of the city (offered at the guesthouse) though, as the streets can get a bit confusing without one. Breakfast is included in your stay, but I cannot comment as only stayed one night and missed it, preferring to sleep off my jetlag. All in all, a great stay. I highly recommend. Read more

This is a great little hotel for the travel hopper or a couple. Although you do share a bathroom, the place is on a quiet street centrally located in New Town. It's ideal for seeing the main sights of Edinburgh and in a nice shopping area of town. The service was great and the accommodations very comfortable. I would definitely stay here again!

The location is fantastic - short walk to shops, bars, restaurants. My room was really clean, the shared bathroom was spotless. Staff were friendly and really nice.

Really nice couple. Really great location, E1(can't get better than between George and Princes Street). Only thing that was a little bit of a let down was the lack of cooked food in morning, that said, the choice for continental was very good.

This is an excellent Bed and Breakfast Hotel with a great location. The room is small by cozay. The wifi service is spotty, but it is free, exists in your room (not just the lobby as in many hotels), and works fine for checking e-mail. And lets be honest, this is a hotel for those visiting Edinburgh and there is more than enough to do outside your hotel, […] so streaming lots of video isn't really necessary. The proprietor is friendly (but not too overly chatty, as I have found to be a problem at some B&Bs). There are shared bathrooms, so you might have to wait a bit for a shower, but I never encountered such a problem. The bed was good sized and very comfortable. But the best part about this place is the location. Located right in the heart of the posh neighborhood known as New Town, it gives you close access to great shopping and eating and is still pretty close to all the famous sights you'll want to check out. The breakfast did not have an overabundance of choice, but the food was good and the selection of croissants, meats, cheeses, fruit and cereal was more than enough for me. All in all, I highly recommend this guesthouse. Read more

I have just spent 4 nights at the end of September at the Edinburgh Central Guest House with a friend and we couldn't have felt more welcomed and comfortable than we did here! I believe that Morag and Paul who were looking after us have recently taken over the running of this hotel and they are doing a fantastic job! We had a lovely spacious twin ensuite […] room which was beautifully decorated, clean and very comfortable with tea, coffee (and biscuits!) amenities in our room. Breakfast, with a good selection of cereals, fruit juices,cold meats, cheese, fresh fruit, croissants, toast etc was served downstairs in the dining room. The guest house was easy to get to - just a few minutes walk from the airport shuttle bus which dropped us on Princes St and they happily accommodated our late arrival. I would definitely go back to this hotel and would recommend it to others. Read more

The only annoying thing was to share the bathroom with two more rooms meaning eight people had to share. It was quite difficult to just go.

Genuine Expedia guest review

For the price, this hotel was very clean and confortable.

Very nice hotel very close to the main attractions. The only problem was that we had to share bathroom. Besides that, everything was fine, the lady was very helpful and kind and the breakfast was good. The rooms were big and confortable, perfect place to finish the long days.

This is a very cosy and affordable place to stay right in the centre of the new town. It is close to shops and good pubs. Would stay there again for sure. Joanna the manager is also very friendly and helpful.

This was a very pleasant surprise. Great location, friendly and clean. Only down side was shared bathroom but there was no queue in the morning and it was tidy and clean. Breakfast at Ricks was nice too as they do not serve breakfast, they offer a choice of 2 places to have breakfast instead. Great choice! Would recommend it!

Myself and my Girlfriend stayed in the guest house for 2 nights in April. The location of the accommodation was easy to find and very central to all activities within the city centre. Even for hikes up Calton Hill and Arthurs Seat, along with the Castle being a matter of minutes walk away. The owners of the accommodation were very helpful and friendly. […] And the breakfast at Ricks Restaurant was great. A definate reccommendation at a reasonable price for Edinburghs City Centre. We'd definately stay again. Read more

Rigtig udmærket B&B. Morgenmaden kunne have været mere varieret, men bestemt OK. Venligt og imødekommende personale. Brusenichen på værelset var lige lovlig lille, og jeg foretrækker min egen dyne i dobbeltsengen, og havde sikkert fået det hvis jeg havde spurgt. hvilket jeg ikke gjorde, da vi kun skulle overnatte to gange. Værelset - med indhold - samt […] resten af hotellet, virkede meget nyt og godt vedligeholdt. Jeg vil bestemt anbefale det. Ikke mindst på grund af beliggenheden meget tæt på Princes Street.

Vi var två kompisar som hade jättetrevligt. Rummet var litet men rent. Toa i korridor, fräsh. Tyvärr ingen där på söndagar!! Då vi behövde hjälp m taxi till flygplatsen. Vi ordnade det trots att kl. Var 03.00. Bra ställe om man vill bo mitt i centrum. Bra service vid frukost.

Helppo, kodikas ja vaivaton, mikäli haluaa Edinburgissa kierrellä niin että hienoimmat näkymät ja nähtävyydet ovat kävelymatkan päässä. Palvelu sopivan välitöntä, mutta ystävällistä.

Nous avons séjourné 4 nuits dans cet hôtel durant le mois de mai 2012. Bon petit hôtel, très bien situé. Bon rapport qualité/prix pour le centre-ville. L'accueil par la responsable est très bien, les chambres sont grandes et suffisamment confortables. Le petit-déjeuner buffet est bien également. Nous y retournerons volontiers !

Mkt centralt beläget B&B med trevlig och hjälpsam värdinna. Städning av rummet varje dag, inkl bäddning och byte av handdukar. Rummet var fräsch och såg nymålat ut. Sängarna var helt ok, standard komfort. Enda ljud som var störande var att det var mycket luft i varmvattenrören så man hörde tydligt när grannarna duschade. Annars tyst. Frukosten var en […] typisk kontinental frukost där man kunde äta sig mätt i hotellets egen frukostmatsal. Kan varmt rekommendera detta boende! Read more

Luulin varaavani hotellin, mutta olikin B&B. Huoneessa vähän ummehtunut ilma, johtuen kokolattiamatosta. Sänky oli hyvä. Lämmitystä oli vain öisin, vaikka ulkona oli kylmä. Kylpyhuoneessa vessanpönttö melkein irti. Ranskalainen emäntämme oli erikoisella tavalla hauska tyyppi. Aamiaisella oli hyvin tarkkaa, mitä sai itse ottaa. Netti ei toiminut huoneessa. […] Sijainti on hyvä, vanha kaupunki kävelymatkan päässä. Read more

This hotel/guest house has is perfectly located close to Princes street and all historical attractions. Bus from the airport (Airlink) stops in Princes Street....5 - 10 min. walk to hotel. Hotel looks nice, very nice atmosphere, nice and friendly personel (only in the guest house from 8 a.m to 8 p.m.) Room (nr.14) was nice, the included bath room was […] OK, but the shower was not more than a small closet. The walls are not that thick, so you can hear the people in the neigbouring rooms, most annoying was the sound of the bathtub filling up (next door!). Free WiFi was not that strong at the 2nd floor (in the rooms).....at the hall is was OK. Breakfast not in hotel, but in a closeby (100m) cafetaria or anorther cafetaria/hotel (100m aswell). This was no problem, even kind of nice..... Summary: Great hotel....fair price...super location. Read more

The location is not so bad but my small room faces north and dark.TV does't work perfectly.Some nosies of the doors and the alley.I had to go out to a local cafe for breakfast and if it is a rainy or freezing morning,this will be very incovenient.The staff is fine.I would recommend you to book a room with a private bathroom,not a shared one.
