After travelling 12 hrs to arrive in Scotland, 22 Royal Circus was a wonderful place to land! We were welcomed by Ava and Mia and shown to our lovely room. The breakfasts were delicious and I have to say the best we had while in Scotland! Kirsty gave us a choice of cooked or continental. We chose cooked for both... More

We've tried a number of B&Bs in Edinburgh and this was by far the best. We spent 2 nights in a twin room whilst on business and couldn't have asked for a more comfortable and convenient stay. Kirsty was just the right amount of helpful, the room was very well appointed, comfortable beds, warm bathroom (unusual for Edinburgh) and private... More

My partner and I spent 3 nights at 22 Royal Circus beginning of January this year and we had a great time here! It's a warm room in an old Georgian house with atmosphere and a fantastic host - Kirsty! We loved the room and the freshly cooked breakfast every morning. Sitting in the kitchen with a view into the... More

Lovely room in a Georgian town house, well fitted out with quality furnishings, this really is a delightful place to stay. Generous breakfasts - 8 year old son discovered an apparantly inexhaustable supply of croissants! Great Location too, just a ten minute stroll to Princes Street. Kirsty and Eva looked after us very well indeed. Have already recommended to a... More

Such a wonderful place to have found to stay in! Warm, cosy room with every need well-catered for. Breakfast in the charming kitchen was delicious and bountiful. But oh!

Very hospitable hostess Kirsty, running an open house. Comfortable double/ (can be twin) room. Downside not en-suite, but bathroom right outside. Great breakfast in Aga-warmed kitchen. Ideal for central Edinburgh exploring. Many great restaurants at all prices close by. Would use again, therefore recommended.

What a gem to discover this beautiful B&B in the heart of Edinburgh. 5 mins walk to the centre down stunning cobbled stoned streets and past quirky little cafes.. Kirsty; a big warm smile and a comfortable open house welcomes you in... Couldn't have asked for better service. Tasteful decor, a cosy bed, powerful shower en suite, plus stunning views.... More

Hi. We were very well taken care of by Kirsty, and thoroughly enjoyed our stay during the Edinburgh Fringe. Our ensuite room was very comfortable and light, and the breakfast was tasty, and a chance for interesting conversation and to share reviews and tips with other guests. Thanks for a lovely stay.

We stayed here for 5 nights during the Edinburgh Festival, recommended by another B&B which was full. The owner, Kirsty, was very pleasant and helpful in making the arrangements, as well as advising what to see and general information during our stay. The place is reasonably close to the centre (about 7 mins uphill to George St) and the breakfast... More

Thank you for taking the time to respond. I'm very glad you enjoyed our breakfasts and found us so helpful. The website is clear that the larger bedroom has a private bathroom which is not ensuite - but perhaps we can spell that out further. We usually have tissues in the bedroom - my sincere apologies for that oversight...and some... More
