B+B Edinburgh

Perfect location for a 10 min walk to Princes Street, Castle etc. The building is beautiful with stunning original finishings. The library is especially worth a look. Staff were really nice and accommodating. We had a huge room which was quite basic in decoration but the bed was clean and very comfortable. My only issue was that according to the website and room information pamphlet, breakfast is served until 11am. We went down at 9.50am only to be told the kitchen closed at 9.45am and there was no hot food available. We were offered toast (one slice each which was dry & cold) and a continental buffet. This was adequate but not quite the eggs benedict or full Scottish We were expecting. Had we known about the kitchen closing we would have gone earlier but there was no indication anywhere to tell us this.||However, we would absolutely return here and would recommend it.

This place is so charming and wonderfully run! The staff are so kind and helpful, the breakfasts were amazing and the location is perfect. It’s close enough to the main city center to enjoy all that Edinburgh has to offer but in a quieter neighborhood which made the experience relaxing as well.

Great two night stay to visit Edinburgh market. Check in was very efficient and a great brief introduction to the hotel. Room was very comfortable and spacious. Hotel location is walking distance from the city (20-25 mins).|The staff are all great, very attentive and helpful. Breakfast is great with a broad choice of continental and traditional food. Would highly recommend this hotel for a visit to Edinburgh.

We recently stayed at B+B Edinburgh for a weekend getaway to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday, and it was absolutely perfect! The place is stunning, with its blend of classic charm and modern comfort. The beautiful, cosy rooms provided the perfect backdrop for a special occasion, and the ambience throughout the hotel made it feel like a true retreat. The location was ideal too—quiet and peaceful, yet only a short walk from Edinburgh’s top attractions. We loved being able to explore the city, then return to such a relaxing and inviting space. What made the experience even more special was the amazing staff. They were incredibly friendly and helpful, ensuring that everything went smoothly. They even helped us with recommendations for local restaurants, which was a huge plus. Overall, B+B Edinburgh was the perfect place for a memorable birthday weekend. With its charm, excellent service, and ideal location, it’s an unforgettable spot for any special occasion!

The most romantic hotel in Edinburgh, surrounded by history. Friendly and hospitable staff. Unique interior design created with iconic designs in a historical building. Clean and comfortable rooms. A hotel that I will always prefer with its location within walking distance to the center of Edinburgh.

This was a great hotel. Staff were really attentive and helpful. Location was great lit 5 min walk to nearest tram or 15 min walk to centre of town. ||Not the flashiest hotel but was perfect and will definitely stay next time I’m in Edinburgh.

This was a wonderful experience, from the location to the amenities, the cleanliness, the room, but most importantly the staff was incredible, attentive, kind and so happy to help. I recommend any couple who wants to walk to most places and have a nice, kind and wonderful Edinburgh trip, to stay here. Thank you All!!!

A charming hotel in a very nice part of the city. Not the most modern hotel, but very quaint with traditional fearures. The staff were very friendly and happy to help. Overall, a very nice stay.

Great little hotel built from an old four-story house. Very helpful staff. Lots of magnificent woodwork all about. There's one slow elevator. It's on the short list for the smallest elevator on earth. I took myself and two pieces of luggage: Full. Literally no room for even a small child. Breakfast had a wide variety of options. In fact, if you like cheese, breakfast featured a wide variety of cheese. There's a great selection of things to choose from, or you can order from the menu. I tend to be a toast or pastry guy for breakfast, so I didn't order anything special. They have a bar/lounge that I didn't get a chance to try as it's just a sitting room and closes early. Ten PM I think. My room was nice enough. The plumbing was easy to figure out (not a given in the UK, if you're a first time visitor). I didn't break my neck getting into the shower, and I didn't electrocute myself. So that's a solid star right there. When I arrived, I took an Uber. He went the wrong way around. But after that, I walked to Waverly Station, Hay Market, the castle, etc. If you're willing and able to walk a mile on pretty flat pavement, it's accessible to everywhere. There was a dragon on the stairwell nice enough to post. Overall, very nice. Good value. I'd stay here again.

Very comfortable bed and room! The toilet needed some maintenance it was difficult to flush and there was no way to turn off the sink. Great location and friendly staff. Elevator was broken when we were there unfortunately but some of the staff helped me carry my suitcase down the 4 floors which was very kind as it was heavy!

Don't do it. No lift/elevator and lots of deep stairs....it's really hard unless you are in great shape (maybe). No service, EVER. Bar is a joke....old liquor and never anyone there to get you a drink. It was very depressing for us 2 nights, never, ever again. Beds were comfortable and our room was clean but very hot (June 23) and our fan didn't work....we got it half working. The staff 1 tries to do everything, but it's impossible. I do not blame them and understand the hospitality industry is struggling. We stayed in 5 hotels in Scotland, this was not a good way to end.

The room they gave us had nothing to do with the pictures that we saw at the time we booked it. The receptionist was rude and came up with ridiculous reasons of the mismatch. I would never even consider staying in a place like this if I knew they are so deceptive. Update: next day we spoke with the manager, she was very nice. We moved to the room that we actually booked. We also enjoyed breakfast a lot!

This is the second time my family has stayed here and it was just as nice the second time. A short walk from Princes Street, this B & B is quiet, yet close to a tram stop and restaurants. The building is in a residential area and is beautiful, graced with a magnificently carved wood interior. The breakfast is delicious and is comprised of both pastries and hot dishes. a variety of complimentary coffee/tea/cocoa drinks are available 24/7. We had more people in our party (4 in one room) than could be accommodated according to their website, but after contacting them, a wonderful room was ready for us. The beds were soft and a variety of pillows were in the cabinets, along with extra feather-filled duvets! Our room was large and well appointed. The water pressure in the shower was awesome, something I don't often find in older European buildings. The elevator is very small, but seriously, I was pleased that there was an elevator at all. A number of European boutique hotels I have stayed in had no elevator at all. The staff was very helpful and offered to assist us in many ways. I will definitely stay here again when I return to Edinburgh.

The elevator has been down for months and the rooms are up about 3 flights. Stairs are steep and narrow. Lavatory handle was like a Rubik's cube to get a flush. Faucets are the hot and cold opposites handles in the sink. Plus they are so short its a pain. Shower pressure is so poor it takes longer to get the soap rinsed. The bar area the drinks are poured so stingy it is frustrating. Breakfast was adequate. The best part of the trip was how quickly the taxi arrives once you push the automated call button to take us to the Hilton.

It was okay. The area is nice to walk around in, but you are really far from anything. The front desk didn't seem to care about me at all. Room 9 is terrible for noise - the fire door is right there and people come in and out all day and night. The room was pretty stuffy, too. Don't think I'd do it again, to be honest.

BAIT AND SWITCH ALERT If I could give a neg star I would. Receptionist was very rude from the start. Room provided was not the room selected from website and confirmed from our booking. Very disappointing. The room is dark, beaten up, hairs in tub, ceiling falling apart and there isn't a fitted sheet on our bed! Just a flat sheet lay over the bare mattress. I came down to speak to the receptionist about all the discrepancies and she showed no interest in rectifying the situation. Keep looking. Not a good hotel.

Overall I enjoyed our stay at B+B Edinburgh. The location is nice because its close enough to everything but you still are a bit secluded from the real hustle & bustle. I was a bit turned off by our basement room though, particularly when the lock didn't work and I had to ring the overnight manager to help us unlock the door, to which was then stuck again and we had trouble re-locking the door. The library is beautiful though. Wish I had gone up there earlier in our stay to have a drink and read.

Surprised there are no yelp reviews yet, well let me be the first! High Points: Spacious/clean/beautiful rooms. Unlimited coffee, tea and walkers biscuits 24hrs a day. Pastries at breakfast were amazing! Medium points: Close-ish to the castle and Royal Mile if you are a good walker. If you aren't, stay closer to tourist attractions as we found out the public transportation system in Edinburgh is not that great or direct. Low points (this is why I can't give it 5 stars): The first person on duty when we arrived was not so friendly and did not seem to want to help(it got better as the days progressed). The water was either hot or cold...there was no happy medium. All in all a great historic place to stay at. Would for sure recommend.

A very cosy hotel in one of the magnificent Georgian streets of Edinburgh's New Town. Full of historical charm and period details. The staff are excellent and the rooms are modern and clean. One minor point is that our room was a bit stuffy and damp smelling but we opened the window to air it and it was fine after about an hour. Would highly recommend.

This was a great place for my family to stay in Edinburgh. Very friendly and helpful staff, clean and reasonably appointed rooms, and the breakfast was outstanding. I had eggs Benedict each morning. The bar is open until 11 for late night cocktails. A 10 to 15 minute walk to get to the castle and city center. One small nitpick: the elevator is very small,

We enjoyed our stay. It was a little hard to get to but that was a part of its charm, being in a quit residential neighborhood. The breakfast was quite good as was the service. The space remind of an old school house with updated facilities. For example, there is a lift, but it is very small. The views outside some window are picturesque. Our bathroom had a large window that faced the residence acrosss the street. We pulled the shade but it's a little odd. The water temp was HOT in part because of radiator steam heating. On rainy days, it feels really nice. We enjoyed our stay. Not sure the people across the street enjoyed us much.

Only stayed one night, and it prompted me to review! A very good hotel. Clean, great views. The service was terrific very helpful. I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough.

Stayed six nights and had a great time. Service is excellent. We did not bring our laptop but the B+B made one of theirs available when we needed it. Julio works the desk and is very helpful. I'd stay there again and recommend it to others.
