B+B Edinburgh

Definitely more of a boutique hotel than a bed & breakfast (which is not in any way a bad thing), the opportunity to stay in a historic 19th century townhome overlooking Dean Village (which the original owner had also established) was a wonderful treat. There remain some gorgeous architectural touches from that era in the building, updated a bit for the modern traveler. The room was spacious, and the breakfast served in the lovely and sunny breakfast room each morning was absolutely gorgeous, with a variety of a la carte options with fresh tea, coffee, fruit, and more, which you could take your time to enjoy while contemplating the day ahead. ||Note, for those who may have restricted mobility, that there are many stairs throughout. Although a small lift (elevator) is available there are some mid-floors that won't be fully accessible this way so you must be prepared. ||Some of the rooms may feel outdated to some, but to me they reflected more historical charm than neglect. The hotel sits on a quiet street that feels quite safe even at night (there is a larger hotel down the road), and is within convenient walking distance to Old Town, the Royal Mile and all the typical sights. The service was kind and welcoming. There's also a wonderful pub a few blocks away if you're looking for some supper and a nightcap.

I could warmly recommand this establishment. The staff is super friendly and helpful. The breakfast choice is huge and food is delicious. The room are spacious, lightful, big bathroom. The bedding is excellent. Had all the commodities you could expect in a room : cattle, tea, coffee, cream, sugar.

We love this hotel! It’s one of our all time favourites. Super dog friendly and just wonderful staff. Also the bed linen is excellent and you get a fabulous night’s sleep. Breakfast is good and the rooms are charming. Always worth a stay!

Excellent location in the heart of Edinburgh. Very helpful and friendly staff. The rooms are well kept and modern, as well as comfortable. Our rooms had a great view of Dean's Village. Breakfast was simply the best! We had the best omelettes we've ever had, in all honesty. Excellent food, with many options to choose from. We highly recommend you stay here when visiting Edinburgh!

Beautifully restored Georgian townhouse located in a peaceful and verdant residential area. The B+B offers a cosy bar and stunning library to rest and unwind after a daywalk. The bedroom was comfortable and spacious with a recently renovated bathroom. However, the latter would benefit from some layout adjustments, such as more hooks to hang the bath towels or clothes and a mirror shelf to store and display personal beauty care products throughout the stay. ||A heartfelt thanks to Caitlin for her professionalism, her help and friendly smile!

It is a very classical building, in the new town. It easy to walk to the city center and have a many restaurants close by. The staff is very kind and always ready to help. Maybe some lack of modernity is some amenities. Good experience.

My stay was excellent, as it has always been for over 7 years. A big thank you to the breakfast staff, who are so attentive and adorable, and a special mention to my lovely Caitlin, who was a ray of sunshine during my short trip. Her kindness and smile were a delight. Thank you so much, Caitlin, for your kindness. You have a wonderful heart, and the hotel deserves to have you on staff.

Hotel in a beautiful Victorian house. Close proximity to the downtown area. Inhouse Bar. Friendly staff and nice breakfast. Rooms are gorgeous, spacious and super comfortable. We were very satisfied!

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.
