We were delighted throughout the stay! The amount of attention to detail was impressive. The room with a large bathroom was very clean. There was a soft carpet on the floor of the room, the bed was incredibly comfortable. The room had a bathrobe, a supply of towels, a coffee maker, a kettle, sweets. Entire facility was very cozy, we felt well taken care of. The made-to-order breakfast was delicious, plentiful. We were really pleasantly surprised by this bed & breakfast and would love to come back one day! During our short stay, we felt better at this hotel than on a tropical all-inclusive holiday. We recommend!

The rooms were cosy. Breakfest was served in a bag and was sufficient for us fringe goers. Many fringe theathers were within a walking distance (we like walking, but there are busses available also.) peaceful. Not cheap. But functioned very well for us.

We absolutely loved everything about East Claremont Guest House. It was a truly exquisite and homely experience, filled with thoughtful touches—from the luxurious towels and quality toiletries to the variety of snacks, coffee pods, and teas provided in the room. Combined with the delicious Scottish breakfast, our stay felt perfect. We couldn’t have asked for more.

The house was located in a really nice area, quite calm and green. The bed was comfortable, nice pillows, all very clean and tidy. Coffee was great, also an abundance of re-supplies of milk, sugar, and tea available on the first floor and corridor. Overall, a nice interior, easy check-in, friendly staff.

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.
