My experience at Sonas Guesthouse exceeded by far my expectations! My room was perfectly cleaned and prepared to accommodate my wife and me. In addition to the cosy place itself, a grab-and-go breakfast was available since we'd travel pretty early the next day. Lastly, the surrounding area is lovely, and we could find a perfect Greek restaurant right around the corner. I won't think twice when booking a place for my next quick stay in Edinburgh!

The owner was extremely fun, helpful and made our visit to Edinburgh an even better experience. It's incredible that as a mum with three children to look after, she can still run an accommodation so well.

I stayed in a spacious room with amazing decor, the bed was comfortable, the bathroom clean and bright. Everything I saw in the whole building felt thought out, deliberate and created a charm I have never seen before. Lastly, the food in Tom’s kitchen was excellent

    The guest house was in a great location. Next to the bus station, 5 minutes away from Waverley station. Our room was clean with firm comfy beds, exactly as we requested. Murray, our host, was helpful and polite, and looked after us so well. Our room had a great view from the windows. The breakfast was lovely. The rooms were quieter than I had expected given the location.

    This was undeniably the perfect stay. Firstly, beautiful and charming house in a nice residential area not far from Edinburgh city centre (only a 15 minute bus ride or a 40 minute walk), super clean and quiet room, very comfy bed and modern bathroom with all the necessities. Secondly, breakfast was delicious, freshly cooked every morning by the owner. Last but not least, Kingsley Guest house is run by a very friendly family who made me feel at home as soon as I stepped inside. Highly recommended.

    Cosy guesthouse at the charming heart of Bruntsfield, an adorable part of Edinburgh. Close to small, vibrant boutiques and bars and just some minutes away from the city center.
