Such a wonderful place!! Eric at the reception gave me a warm welcome and showed me around the place and even helped carry my bags up two floors, Lukas and Silvia too were so helpful with anything that I needed and so friendly, The place is spic and span. And you can always go to the kitchen and help yourself to tea, coffee, milk, bread, cornflakes, etc. The bus stop is just outside and the Coop too. Walking distance to landmarks like the Royal Yacht Britannia, Leith waterside, etc. The name befits the place - I truly felt I had visited my friend's house!!

This place is just brilliant! Run by the lovely Lydie, it’s packed full of thoughtful touches and details that made our stay super comfortable and enjoyable! The Bruntsfield area is wonderful - a short walk away from the green area of The Meadows. The area has loads of lovely local, artisan shops and great cafes and restaurants. All just a 20 min walk from Edinburgh Castle and other sights. Just perfect place!

It was overall lovely! Everyone was very welcoming and if you need anything, they are super helpful and nice! My room was beautiful, quite big and comfortable. Breakfast was tasty and thommy is always there for a friendly and informative chat! I felt very much at home! Just as information (nor at all a criticism): the place has a lot of stairs and steps. If you have mobility difficulties, this might not be the right fit. But otherwise I fully recommend this place. I would (and hopefully will) book this again every time!

The owner was really friendly and accommodating. She made me feel very welcome and helped with any request I had. The room was beautiful, spacious and the en suite was modern and a good size. Everything was clean and serviced. I hope to return again as the location for the town was perfect!

    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.
