To be honest, I'd picked Abbotsford because I wanted to be close to La Favorita, the fabulous pizza place on Leith Walk, and as I knew I'd be tired from driving, I wasn't fussed about what kind of place where I'd end up sleeping (well, some place clean, of course). What I got was a great double act: a great... More

If you are looking for a Clean, comfortable guest house with a lovely landlady who serves an amazing breakfast, then you have found the best place to stay.. 15 minute walk to city centre and 10 min walk to Playhouse theatre and local bus stops a minute from the house. Value for money.

I managed to book one of the last double rooms in the Abbotsford Guest House for the weekend of the Scotland v Ireland rugby match. I had left booking accommodation to the last minute and found most places were either booked up or incredibly overpriced. The guest house however is within a 10 minute walk from the playhouse theatre within... More

My friend and i stayed here for a 1 night stay, it is in a very good location, we were able to park right outside for free and walk to the shopping centre and Princess street, there are plenty of surrounding restuarants, we ate at a very good indian within walking distance. The room itself was clean, not fancy, it... More

Stayed a dozen times in the last 2 years and everything is just perfect for a short break or overnight in Edinburgh. Breakfast is always spot on. Paola is extremely helpful , warm and friendly. Why stay anywhere else?

This is much more like a hotel than a guest house/B&B - the rooms looked brand new, modern flat screen TV, brand new modern bathroom and fantastic beds. The check in was so quick and the staff efficient. We were only there for a maximum of 18 hours so can't comment on the food/facilities etc - but if you're looking... More

£80 for two nights plus breakfast is a great deal for this area; this was the main selling point for me and remains the winning detail of the stay. Abbotsford lies about 20 minutes walk from the city centre. Near enough I thought, but when you’re carrying luggage and having to negotiate busy roads and Edinburgh’s incredibly sluggish pedestrian crossings,... More

We chose this guest house because it has free parking on the road, and was convenient for where we needed to be. The owner, Paola, was most welcoming and we soon felt at home. We had a twin room on the top floor with a small en suite shower room. I have read the comments about the rooms and suites... More
