Has a wonderful experience at the Auld Reekie. The beds were so comfortable I almost overslept every morning. The bathrooms and the guest house as a whole are outstandingly clean and well taken care of it. Breakfast is lovely. The place has a wonderful homey atmosphere and Rhona is simply brilliant. I highly recommend the Auld Reekie.

A warm welcome from Rhona after a long journey . It was exactly what we needed to make us feel at home. Rhona and Brian helped us to discover the true Edinburgh, not just the main tourist attractions. Auld Reekie is clean and comfortable, and Brian's breakfasts are delicious and substantial! (important for French rugby lads). A big thank you... More

We were warmly welcomed by Rhona who made us feel at home and right away gave us ideas for where to go for dinner and other travel tips. Since it was winter and the rooms were not all rented, she gave our son and his friend a bigger family room, which was an unexpected bonus. Our rooms were clean and... More

Thanks to rhona and Brian again for their hospitality this weekend. Nothing is too much bother! Everything from cleanliness and comfort of the rooms to the excellent location has made another visit to Edinburgh a great experience. Brian your eggs are second to none north of the border!!

We received a most warm welcome from Rhona the owner when we arrived at the Auld Reekie. Though the room was quite small, the attention to detail made up for this.(I believe they do have larger rooms available) Cups matched the tea tray. Choice of tea coffee and chocolate drinks.The soft furnishing were of good quality. Even had a fan... More

Guest House was clean and comfortable with good room facilities. Location good, 30 minutes walk from city centre with good access to bus routes. Proprietors generally friendly, and helpful, though a little strange. I booked this B&B through an online agent, and they e-mailed me what I should pay on arrival. However, on arrival, because I wanted to pay by... More
