Great stay Strongly recommend

The welcome was outstanding and the gentleman at reception helped us in any way he could. He booked us a restaurant for dinner, gave us plug adapters and umbrellas. The rooms where well equipped and the beds very comfortable. I'll definitely be back next time I am in Edinburgh. Superb value for money.

Excellent service! It felt like meeting new friends. The business is family-owned and operated, adding a warm, personal touch. Their service is extremely awesome with complimentary Ala carte hot breakfast and buffet continental breakfast. We would come back again to visit them and for family stay. Thank you for the great service! One of the memorable day we had in Scotland was staying in your place.

We enjoyed our stay at the Ceilidh-donia, very friendly, great breakfast and good transport links to the centre.

Our room was spacious, breakfast excellent, great location and staff deserve 6 stars! Thanks for a great stay

The warmest of welcomes by Keith advised us of what bus we would need in order to get to the dome where we had booked a meal and were given a map of the town. Toom was clean and comfortable, really nice breakfast with plenty of choices and very reasonably priced. Would definitely stay again.

Best hotel in Edinburgh

Family run hotel, where the owners make you feel so welcome ! We were even allowed to check in early . Breakfast was excellent.We would definitely stay here again .

The sweetest owners and staff, and the coziest stay in Edinburgh. Our room was clean, our beds comfy, and the home-cooked breakfast in the morning was delicious! It made our time so much more enjoyable. Highly recommend!

Wonderful charming hotel with wonderful personable hosts

Such a wonderful place to stay in Edinburgh. We were two weary international travellers who were warmly greeted and allowed to leave our luggage while we went for breakfast and awaited our room being ready. We were very grateful to be allowed to check in earlier than planned. Breakfast was very good. Really wonderful hospitality and accommodation, highly recommend.

As a solo traveler without a car I very much enjoyed my stay. So convenient to public transportation, walkable to Arthur’s Seat. Lovely owners really made me feel welcome. It’s an older property but felt very cozy. I would stay again if I’m ever back in the area.

A very friendly and comfortable family hotel. Great breakfast choices and cheerful service. Plenty of buses into Edinburgh at very low rates. Plenty of places to eat, try the Old Bell Inn if you can get a table. Very close to Arthur's Seat. Packed lunches available if you plan a day out. Overall a very pleasant stay.

Quaint and cozy stay!

This hotel was so quaint and cozy! My room had a beautiful view of Arthur’s seat. The owners and staff were so welcoming and lovely. Great location on a quiet street.The hotel is located 3 minutes from a bus stop and you can get directly to the city center in 15 mins or less. This was nice to get away from the crowds during Fringe and still have access to get around easily. Breakfast and the breakfast bar each morning was great!

We loved staying here; we had a wonderful experience!

All good. No complaints!

Edinburgh anniversary trip

Great experience for 3 night stay. Hotel lovely and Hosts excellent. Great breakfast choice and plenty for everyone. Ideal location for visiting Edinburgh. Would highly recommend.

very good communication. we checked in after hours and our information was waiting for us! kevin was wonderful!

Everything was great

Recommended

Very accommodating and friendly stay with my Son. Good value too as Edinburgh prices seem to have been surging. Only small down side was the Wi-Fi was a bit intermittent.

We were in room 1 and it was very tired and dusty and felt very unclean. Did not stay the second night. Would not recommend

Lovely stay, wonderful people and excellent breakfasts.

Great hotel lovely staff great quality breakfast

Lovely room, very easy to find, free weekend street parking right outside the door. Staff were all incredibly friendly, the breakfast was lovely. Bit of a trek from the main town area, but the very regular bus goes from 100m away straight to all the main bits so ideally located.

Staffs were very kind. Breakfast was nice.

One of the best services throughout our European Trip! Shoutout to Kevin for being so accommodating :)

Great place to stay while visiting Edinburgh. Hosts are very accommodating. Place was very clean. Easy access to public transportation. Fantastic breakfast.

A five ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ stay! Everything from the excellent service to the very clean and comfortable rooms was more than we expected— the owners and staff were warm, welcoming and top notch!

Friendly host, excellent stay with great breakfasts.

This metro hotel was one of our best experiences in Scotland. Kevin and Susan, thw owners, do a remarkable job at making you feel welcome and comfortable. The breakfast was exceptional every morning, seeved by Kevin himself, along with laughs a plenty. Susan was happy to do a load of laundry for us (service fee, of course), and she was even kind enough to loan me SuperGlue to make a repair on my travel wallet. The evening staff was wonderful, always helpful and talkative if you wanted to chat. The room (2) was comfortable and spacious, and the shower was amazing. I cannot say enough good things.

Friendly welcome and check out we will definitely return and next time have time to try out there breakfast! 👍

Made very welcome by Kevin. Escellent choice of breakfast menus.

Lovely, friendly place to stay.

First class hosts, clean and comfortable. Great breakfast, all that was required, would have no hesitation in returning on next Edinburgh visit.

Location and staff were top notch

Very helpful hosts. Having a bar helped pass our time waiting for taxi. Great choice at breakfast and was delicious. Handy location for buses into town, if you dont do taxi's.

Amazing breakfast and comfortable stay .

Great experience. Appreciated our friendly hosts and loved the neighborhood - felt central but away from the hustle and bustle. Would stay again.

Well done! Breakfast was delicious.

A beautiful location with all attractions nearby.Susan and Kevin were really helpful. Would recommend 100%

From the moment we walked in the staff was so welcoming and accommodating. Any questions we had they were ready to answer and any issues we had they were available to help. The breakfast was phenomenal, it was legit like a restaurant with full service not your typical continental breakfast. I would definitely go back!

Excellent hotel

Very pleasant stay. Nice room and very good breakfast. Very friendly owners. Good location within walking distance of Old Town or very good bus service. Plenty of bars and restaurants close to hotel

Nice stay

Nice stay friendly staff very nice breakfast would stay again

Great little hotel - super friendly staff and good value. 15 min bus ride to the city centre.

Great stay

Friendly and very accommodating, great stay.

What a fantastic place to stay. Communication was prompt and friendly, and they were very accomodating of our late arrival. Comfortable beds and great shower. The breakfast was fantastic and the staff were an absolute delight. I will definitely stay here again when I come back to Edinburgh.

This is a great cozy stay in a nice walkable area of the city. The staff is friendly and the breakfast is delicious. I'll definitely be returning.

The owners were so nice. The hotel was extremely clean.

Great little hotel just south of the main area. Buses a quick walk (2 blocks). Kevin and Susan are great hosts and go out of their way to help. I left something on a bus and Kevin made arrangements to pick it up and send it to me in the US. And the breakfast is also wonderful.

Clean, comfy, nice staff

Really friendly and informative owners. Cosy bar

Very comfortable. We loved the breakfast, the staff, the location, and our room was sunny and quaint! Will return

Really lovely staff and very helpful. The room was spotlessly clean and had everything you could need. Breakfast was lovely too. Thank you again for a great stay!

A very pleasant stay.

The owners are really nice and helpful. The hotel is located on a quiet street but a very easy walk to the Main Street where you can catch a lot of buses towards the city center The room was very pleasant and comfortable. The breakfast was tasty and very filling.

Charming decor and atmosphere, absolutely spotless, delicious breakfast!

Very comfortable stay in an old hotel

Old establishment, but comfortable. The age of the hotel shows - our bathroom door didn’t lock properly. Not a deal breaker. Near city center.

Quick stay in Edinburgh

Lovely hotel/b and b. Very comfortable beds, in a great location with bus stops a minute or so away into Edinburgh city centre. The owners were very friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back when we are next in Edinburgh!

My initial impression kerbside where underwhelming - in fact I drove past the hotel twice in the dark. However when I checked out I had come to appreciate the care and attention the owners had provided. My room was small but very well equipped. The breakfast was beyond 5 star in service, choice and quality. Other than the weird council restrictions on street parking and the rather precipitous stairs the stay was memorable. Would I return there, yes absolutely. Great service and attention to detail trumps a parking hassle and steep stairs for me.

Perfect!

The hotel is a little gem, tucked away near the base of Arthur's Seat. We only stayed for one night, but we can honestly say it was a brilliant experience! The staff-member at reception was incredibly friendly (and so was his awesome dog), and he helped us get reacquainted with the ins-and-outs of Edinburgh. The room was clean and meticulously kept, with complimentary tea and biscuits, and bottled water (which was welcome after hours on the train). The cooked vegetarian breakfast was perfect, and we got a chance to meet the owner – he was incredibly friendly and helpful, and he clearly pours a lot of love and care into making sure everybody is taken care of. We will definitely be back in the future, what a great experience! (p.s. when you stay at the hotel and meet that awesome dog, throw the ball, she is deaf and that little ball is her world!)

Great hotel. Clean comfortable rooms. Staff were fabulous - so helpful & friendly. Really good breakfast, catered for special diets. Really great stay.

Really lovely stay

Excellent small independent hotel. My single room was clean and nice for a short stay. Breakfast was included and was excellent. The proprietors were very helpful and friendly. It's easy to get to Edinburgh city centre by bus from the main road round the corner. Overall an excellent place to stay.

A refreshing change from faceless chain hotels.

How refreshing to stay in a friendly, family run small hotel rather than a faceless chain hotel. We had two adjacent rooms and both were spotlessly clean, and very comfortable. The shower was amazing - could have stayed in there for hours! Both rooms were very quiet with no noise from traffic or anything else. Breakfast was delicious- freshly cooked to order. The owners were lovely people - friendly and helpful. Would most definitely recommend this hotel. Location was good too- with good transport links if you didn’t have a car.

Good hosts and well maintained accommodation

Susan gave us a warm welcome. She was very helpful explaining how to get around in Edinburgh. Kevin was very cheerful and willing to meet our breakfast request. The breakfast was delicious and plenty. The room was spacious and warm enough for the winter. The breakfast area was well decorated. I like the rain drops on the door glass panel, they looked very pretty just like crystals.

highly recommended

Lovely hotel! Staff are very friendly and helpful. Everything went well and smooth. Variety of options for breakfast which was great. Thanks Kevin and Susan for everything!

Best vaule for money

Great location good bus service into town thw host kevin was brill made us feel welcome great food and lovely room

Kevin was an excellent host

Kevin & Susan are phenomenal hosts! Their friendliness, helpfulness and enthusiasm made my 3 night stay beyond amazing. My room was the perfect size for a solo traveler and the bus stop is very close to the property. Daily made to order breakfast was wonderful. All of my future trips to Edinburgh will definitely be booked here. Thanks for everything!

Overnight stay

Very friendly welcome when we arrived. Room was clean and beds conformable. Good freshly cooked breakfast. Will definitely go back if we need a hotel in that area

Very nice place. Very quite. Conveniently close to a bus station that has direct lines going anywhere in Edinburgh in less than 20 min. And the staff are SUPER friendly.

Kevin and Susan were the most wonderful hosts who bend over backwards to make sure that you have the best experience. Their humor and enthusiasm for their guests made this one of the highlights of our trip.

Great Stay!

Great greeting and very close to Links to town and Prestonfield House Hotel.

Excellent breakfast, friendly, helpful staff.

Superb!

A great place to stay - so much better than a big hotel. Love the paintings! Love the breakfast!

Cozy stay

A nice stay lovely welcoming staff and a great breakfast.

Lovely people..great breakfast..

Wonderful staff, tv small for room size, channels all breaking up, very noisy room to room, top class breakfast though, .would stay again but would prefer bigger tv and quieter room..

Well maintained property, very friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Best Hotel ever !!!

Wow !!!where do i start ?.This hotel is absolutely gorgeous ,breakfast amazing 👌 Staff couldn't do enough gor us.We stayed 2 nights as we were going to a Wedding ,the owner even drove us to the venue .Honestly we will definitely book here again .

Clean and friendly

Hidden gem

Absolute gem of a guest house/hotel - tucked away just off Dalkeith Road, the location is excellent with easy access to buses into the city, but not too far out for a pleasant stroll to the old town and the shops. Breakfast was excellent, lots of choice, and hot food cooked to order. The room was comfortable and I could happily have spent all weekend in the fabulous shower. The owners were so very welcoming, we felt like valued guests rather than just paying customers. I have no hesitation in recommending this establishment, and I am sure that we will stay there again.

Very nice hotel, it’s like you going to someone’s home. Amazing breakfast, super nice , friendly owner.

Very nice hotel, very nice people, room was lovely

Fabulous hosts

Very friendly helpful hosts and the breakfast was five star absolutely faultless. Room spotless comfortable bed and fluffy soft towels. Convenient for town and free parking at certain times

Can’t recommend it highly enough

Friendly and welcoming staff, a large and comfortable room, delicious hot breakfast, convenient location for the conference centre and the city itself - all for a very reasonable price. Can’t recommend it highly enough!

Very cosy hotel, lovely breakfast. Barhroom was a bit unusual, hot water was set at a constant temperature and can't be changed. Also sheer curtain in bathroom made showering quite uncomfortable when it was dark outside. Free parking is not really "free" unless you are lucky enough to scorevthe one free spot. Otherwise it is timed parking and only available certain hours weekdays.

Excellent

Small hotel- personal experience you don’t find much any more

Lovely stay. Excellent facilities, shower very good, room clean and comfy. As a guest with food allergies I was catered for very well. Excellent service, friendly and helpful and food was exceptional and well presented. Used local bus and found it very good, saved using and parking the car in the city.

Highly recommended

Amazing stay at Kevin and Susan’s place. It was a very short visit for me and my sister but it made our Edinburgh trip extra special. Great facilities and amenities. The cooked breakfast is nice. Very close to the city centre and bus stops are just a few minutes walk although we took Uber for most times which is also reasonably priced. Highly recommended and will definitely return here when we visit Edinburgh again.

There was a very warm welcome, staff were helpful and friendly. There was a good range of choice on the menu for breakfast and all was very well cooked. Excellent quantities of tea and coffee available in the room. It was slightly difficult to get round one side of the bed, but other than that, nothing at all to complain about.

Very Friendly welcoming staff, nice room, nothing special, good breakfast, over all a good B and B but expensive for what it was.

Lovely hotel and good food in the heart of Edinburgh, only issue is the lack of parking which may affect you if you come by car. Parking restrictions imposed by the council impose a no parking zone with fines in the am.

A hidden gem.

Really great find. Comfortable, well-appointed room, and very friendly, attentive hosts. Would stay again.

Visiting Edinburgh? Stay at this hotel

Lovely clean hotel. Very friendly and helpful owners. In a good location and only a half hour walk to Princes Street or a 2 minute walk to a bus stop. Choice of breakfast was excellent. Overall a lovely 2 day stay and would definitely choose to stay at this hotel again. Our room had a fantastic view of Arthur’s Seat

The manager, Kevin, had a 'can do' attitude and made me feel very welcome.

A romantic week at Ceilidh-Donia

It was a pleasant stay. When we arrived Mr. Kevin was very friendly and told us about the city and how to reach it. The room was exceptionally clean and the breakfast was very delicious. The staff were very nice and friendly. I strongly recommend it :)

Great little place for a short break

Kevin the chef and owner made us feel very welcome from the moment we arrived. Our room was very nice and breakfast was excellent. We would definitely like to stay here again.

Best place in Scotland

One of my best experiences in our UK tour. We going to return.

Loved everything. Cannot not imagine how the hotel could be improved. So homely.

Delightful place. Spacious, comfortable and hospitable. Especially friendly and helpful hosts. Tasty and generous breakfasts

The staff was very helpful and friendly. The surrounding area as in the hotel

Large room. Quiet location. Exactly like the picture. Wonderful place to stay and would definitely stay again.

The owners of this hotel - Kevin and Susan - could not have been nicer. The room I stayed in was an adorable space that felt like home. Most hotel rooms lack character, but I looked forward to returning from my tours to my room, which also had a lovely view of the gardens. Every morning at breakfast I was greeted by name and asked how my previous day was and what I was planning that current day. The city centre is also a convenient 20-30 min walk from the hotel. Most importantly to me, I was the victim of the airline misplacing my luggage and I was without my suitcase for 5 days. Kevin helped me every single day, multiple times a day, call the airline to try to find my baggage. He even started searching online to see if there were any other phone numbers to call to find my suitcase! He treated it as if it was his own luggage that was missing, not a stranger's. You cannot ask for better service, especially when traveling in a foreign country. He made a difficult situation as good as it could have been. I would absolutely stay here again and I am recommending this hotel to everyone I know planning to visit Edinburgh.
