B+B Edinburgh

We stayed for two nights and overall, it was a lovely stay — the building is beautiful and the staff were friendly and welcoming. However, I'm coeliac and wanted to share our breakfast experience for others with dietary needs.||Although gluten-free options were listed, I ordered a full breakfast with gluten-free sausage. When the meal came, the waitress realized I'd been given a vegetarian sausage. She went to check with the kitchen but didn't return and by that point the food was cold, so I felt too anxious to eat it properly, only managing an egg.||Perhaps this was just an one-off, but for those fellow coeliacs out there, it is worth being aware that communication and follow-through could be improved for breakfast, given their separate menu. That aside, everything else about the stay was superb.

I had a truly lovely stay at the B B Hotel in Edinburgh and cannot recommend it highly enough. From the moment I arrived I was greeted by smiling, genuinely helpful staff who immediately made me feel welcome. That warmth carried through the entire stay, from the attentive waitress at breakfast to Olga the manager whose professionalism and presence set the tone for the whole place. The room was perfectly prepared, with soft towels and an ideal temperature that was neither too warm nor too cold, one of those small but crucial details that makes all the difference. I genuinely felt at home away from home. The location could not be better. I travelled by train from London and the hotel is a literal stone’s throw from Haymarket Station, which is also very close to Waverley although Haymarket is definitely the stop you want. Breakfast was very good, fresh and satisfying, and the French pressed coffee from the kitchen was the crème de la crème, an absolute highlight. A lovely stay from start to finish and one I would happily repeat. PS: They also took care of my luggage so I could do a last-minute shopping after I had checked out. Thank you Olga.

Arrived for our Itison voucher Brunch early but that was no problem in this first class hotel. We were seated in a lovely bar whilst our table was being laid in the beautiful dining room overlooking Dean village.|Barbara was with us throughout our visit. Extremely professional, knowledgeable and, quite honestly, someone you suddenly know what you have been missing in a server for years. Just totally first class in her service. Our freshly cooked breakfast was exceptional, hot and delicious. This rates a good 10/10 and didnt want it to end. Just superb. Actually cant wait to return. Thank you Barbara for a wonderful experiece and compliments to the Chef!

We booked our two nights here because the website looked stunning, and we managed to find great Black Friday deals. We didn't book directly with them. When we checked in, we were told we had been allocated a lower ground floor room. I had requested not to be on the top floor, but in the basement??? The room was small, shabby, with just a small window in the corner; it was nothing like the grandeur of the images online. When I asked to move, they said they were full. I was also told that if I had booked directly…? But did not qualify the statement. I was so disappointed by this, and it seemed there was little i could do. The next day, how ever, they moved us to a lovely room, like the ones online, so beware of what you ask for and how you pay. Breakfast was okay, a bit hit and miss. The staff are lovely, and parts of this building are beautiful but have been spoiled by poor, unsuitable decoration. We wouldn't return despite the change of room.

We stayed here on a travel tour. Very good location - quiet and easy to get to the tram station and walk to many places. Room was comfortable enough, bathroom was fine. Some of the finishes on furniture are a bit worn, but we don't mind that -- just noticed it in a few spots. The library is lovely to sit in, especially if you need a quiet break. Friendly staff.

Went here for Brunch. Excellent value, good quality. Very courteous and welcoming young man (duty manager) showed us to our table. Wonderful views from the dining room over Dean Village. Didn't stay in the hotel but it is in a very, very expensive, safe and well maintained area of Central Edinburgh well within walking distance of the West End.

Our room at the top of the building seemed to have been recently refurbished but in doing so a few basic requirements had been overlooked, such as easy access to sockets and a decent place to hang damp towels as there were no hooks or heated towel rail.The room was a little cramped with the choice of furniture and very limited access to electric sockets but we thoroughly enjoyed the view of the castle and with no bright street lights outside we were able ro leave the blinds open to also watch the sunrise. The breakfast choices were very good and plentiful and set us up well for the days' explorations.

We loved this wonderful boutique hotel right near Dean's Village and not too far from Old Town, The Royal Mile, Castle and the tourist areas. The hotel was quaint & charming, the staff were very friendly & helpful, the breakfast had a nice variety of choices, including options for a freshly cooked meal served by their wonderful kitchen staff. Our room had a beautiful view of the cathedral and castle; I pre-ordered (fake) rose petals, chocolate and wine that were all displayed nicely in our room when we arrived. Also, the sheets were amazingly soft & comfortable! A side note: if you have mobility issues, the lift was very small (could only fit one person & their luggage at most), so we opted to take the stairs to and from our room. However, this was not a problem for us. Thank you for a welcoming stay for our first few nights in Scotland.

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.
