Situated in Edinburgh, the recently renovated 4 Friends House features accommodation 1.3 km from Royal Yacht Britannia and 3.1 km from Edinburgh Waverley station. Among the facilities at this property are luggage storage space and a housekeeping service, along with free WiFi throughout the property. Guests can access the guest house via private entrance. We truly enjoyed our stay! The room was beautiful, with a wonderful view from the window and a comfortable, spacious bed — I was pleasantly surprised. Everything was well thought out: there were shampoos, earplugs, coffee, and tea. We loved the shared kitchen, stocked with cereals, milk, spreads, and toast bread, so you can help yourself and prepare breakfast or enjoy a cup of coffee. There were also board games and cozy background music, which made the atmosphere even nicer. The hosts were exceptionally friendly — they let us check in early, kept our luggage on the last day, took great care of us, chatted with us, and were ready to help with anything we needed. Highly recommended!

Situated in Edinburgh, near Edinburgh Waverley station, Edinburgh Playhouse and Royal Mile, Ben Cruachan Guest House features free WiFi. The property is around 2.6 km from University of Edinburgh, 2.7 km from Edinburgh Castle and 2.9 km from Royal Yacht Britannia. Located in the Broughton district, the guest house is within 6.2 km of Arthurs Seat. The property has an old world charm with new modern features. It is very clean and incredibly comfortable. There was a lovely tea/coffee station and decanter of sherry in our room. The absolute best parts were interacting with Ollie the manager who makes you feel like part of the family and the fantastic breakfasts (definitely try the porridge with whisky, honey, and cream). It’s a short walk to the heart of the old town but far enough removed to be quiet and peaceful. I will always try to stay here when back in Edinburgh.

Housed in a historic building, the recently renovated Straven Guesthouse provides accommodation with a shared lounge and free WiFi. The property features quiet street views and is 90 metres from Portobello Beach and 4.5 km from Arthurs Seat. Royal Yacht Britannia is 6.5 km from the guest house and Royal Mile is 6.6 km away. We're absolutely in love with this guesthouse and are definitely planning on coming back for the next trip to Edinburgh. Sinead and Chris were so sweet and helpful and forthcoming, the location was really great (and we've only travelled by bus, which was no problem at all), the view in the sea-facing room is fantastic, we've slept heavenly in those comfy beds, and the breakfast is a MUST. 10/10 recommendation!
