We spent three nights recently and enjoyed the location, our lovely room with all the modern amenities, and the breakfast choices. Our hosts and their staff were very helpful with dinner suggestions and reservations. We definitely recommend Kingsway Guest House.

Our recent stay at the Kingsway Guest House was very enjoyable. As others have stated, Lizzie and Gary are excellent hosts and make their guests feel quite welcome. Our room was very comfortable, clean and well-maintained. Our daughter loved the breakfasts (which she enjoyed more than aywhere else we ate in Edinburgh). It is easy to get from the house... More

The title says it all! Gary and Lizzie are superb hosts, welcoming, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable of the local area. Don't be shy about tapping them up for suggestions on days out or things to do - they're not short of an idea or two - but the guide they provide should give you plenty of ideas. The beds are...

Lizzie & Gary were excellent hosts--very helpful and friendly buy not intrusive. They have taken the time to put together a small guide of their top 10 must sees, list of neighborhood restaurants and pubs, highlighting their top three, and bus routes & recommendations throughout the city (I was able to carry their handy little guide in my purse).

We spent a wonderful week-end at Kingsway Guesthouse. The neighborhood is great with a charming pub (reverie) and plenty of restaurants. The rooms are well decorated and the breakfast daily special is excellent.
