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

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.

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)

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.

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!

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.

This was our first stop and night in Edinburgh. Our wonderful host let us check in early. This sure helped us as we were tired and stressed from travel and trying to drive in Edinburgh. lol We had a wonderful stay at their home and they provided us with 2 wonderful Scottish breakfast to start our day with. If you run across my review and you are trying to decide...let this help you...stay here, they are the best, you will feel at home and be treated great!
