In the last 13 years, I've spent about four months in Europe, cumulatively. This might be the best B&B I ever stayed in. Gary and Lizzie are friendly in a warm, and welcoming way, and are deep fountains of useful information. Our friend liked them so much, he came over to have breakfast with us, even though breakfast was served... More

I stayed at Kingsway for three nights. I was warmly welcomed and treated well throughout my stay. I had a bright, attractive, comfortable twin room (#4) on the second floor, at the front of the property. It had its own clean, well-equipped bathroom; it was not en suite but was just across the landing and only I had a key.... More

My family truly enjoyed our stay at Kingsway Guesthouse! The location is about a mile or so off the Royal Mile in a nice, quiet neighborhood. It is right off the bus routes, so very convenient to get around. We typically walked to most sites. The home-made breakfasts were also excellent. I would definitely stay here again.

We stayed 3 nights in this B&B. It was a really enjoyable stay at a very fair price. Our room was lovely and modern, quiet, comfortable. The breakfast were one of the highpoints; I'm not too fond of traditional Scottish breakfast food so their daily special was a very welcomed change from the other B&Bs we stayed at. While the...

Our room was bright, spotless and welcoming, and the bathroom had heated floor and towel rack, and a gorgeous skylight to make it bright and cheery. Off-street parking was a real bonus, and the breakfast specials were delicious. The hosts suggested some wonderful nearby restaurants and pubs and provided maps and great advice.

We spent three nights recently and enjoyed the location, our lovely room with all the modern amenities, and the breakfast choices. Our hosts and their staff were very helpful with dinner suggestions and reservations. We definitely recommend Kingsway Guest House.

Our recent stay at the Kingsway Guest House was very enjoyable. As others have stated, Lizzie and Gary are excellent hosts and make their guests feel quite welcome. Our room was very comfortable, clean and well-maintained. Our daughter loved the breakfasts (which she enjoyed more than aywhere else we ate in Edinburgh). It is easy to get from the house... More

The title says it all! Gary and Lizzie are superb hosts, welcoming, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable of the local area. Don't be shy about tapping them up for suggestions on days out or things to do - they're not short of an idea or two - but the guide they provide should give you plenty of ideas. The beds are...

We spent two nights at Kingsway Guest House during our driving tour of Scotland and this was our favourite B&B of the trip! We were made to feel very welcome by the hosts Lizzie and Garry.
