The Mactintosh is situated in the suburbs opposite the Zoo. Transport links by bus are excellent both day and night (suggest buying a day ticket if making more than two single bus journeys as works out much cheaper) and very reasonably priced. The owners were very welcoming and our room was on the 2nd floor and was very comfortable with... More

Went for a long weekend from Portsmouth. Left home at 7.15am and was in the Guest house by 11am! (flight from Southampton - cheap and easy) Guest House is on the main bus route from the airport (Airlink bus every 10 mins open return cost £6) opposite Edinburgh Zoo. Bus Stop almost outside the Guest and buses all the time... More

We stayed at the Guest House for two nights and was impressed. Very clean rooms, ensuite facilities and Wi-Fi. Location is perfect for the zoo as directly opposite, murrayfield is approx a twenty min walk away and there are plenty of buses opposite to take you into the city centre. The breakfast was excellent with plenty of choice. We would... More

Oh, such a dull and ordinary B&B, which I suppose is all one can expect for the price we paid. The manager made it clear that we'd inconvenienced her by arriving "late" (even though it was only about 7.30). The breakfast was completely tasteless. On the good side, there is free parking outside and a frequent bus service into the... More

As someone who spent 11 months staying at this B&B I feel well qualified to submit a review :-) This is a very good value B&B which is located approximately 10-15mins from the city centre (directly opposite the zoo). The rooms are spotlessly clean and very quiet considering the B&B is located on quite a busy road. I never failed... More

Unfortunately we could spend only 2 nights at this guest house. The room was simple but spacious and so was the en-suite. There were tea and coffee making facilities in the room as well as free wi-fi internet. The hostess, Joanne, and her husband were really kind and helpful. Joanne also provided us a light breakfast in room as we... More
