Stayed here with a friend in July '11, once before that 5 years ago with relatives. David and the boys made it very welcoming with personal introduction and a wealth of information about Edinburgh, restaurants, places of interest and current events (like the Queen was in residence at Holyrood). We stayed in the rooms in the back courtyard which were... More

This bed and breakfast was like something out of a book, as was David, the caretaker. It was an old place so some wear and tear is to be expected but I thought it was well maintained and comfortable, and the service was beyond anything I could have expected. When we arrived David took us on a tour and showed... More

Everything you've read in previous reviews about this place, I am glad to say is completely 100% true, this has got to be one of the most pleasant experiences I've ever had when staying in a hotel or B & B. Normally when I go away on short breaks or book overnight accommodation, I'd be content with the bare basic... More

At first, I was a bit dubious about my small second floor garret style room with only a skylight, but found it quite cozy after a cool, damp night. If I had stayed longer, it was just the sort of place I could have curled up with a book to pass the time on a rainy afternoon. On the first... More

If you're looking for a quiet place in Edinburgh, not necessarily near the Castle, Leith is your area and A-Haven is your place. David is a great guest, and the staff is amazing too. Just follow his directions for buses or walks to the ocean or the shore. If you need exact change for the buses, feel free to ask... More

David and his staff does make the entire difference which makes or breaks your trip! For a start - that it... More

This was my third stay at A-Haven and the first stay for my parents. First and foremost what makes A-Haven a place which I have and will return to again and again is David. My parents and I have done a great deal of corporate travel and we have never had such wonderful, king and attentive service as what David... More

Stayed for a weekend. Agree with all the good points made in the previous reviews. We were made to feel at home and that nothing was too much trouble. A convenient location for town and close to the Royal Yacht Britannia. Beds ultra-comfortable and breakfast excellent. Would definitely recommend and will come back! More

So friendly and David is full of good advice. Nothing is too much trouble. Not so big as to feel impersonal. Our rooms, single and double, very clean with everything we needed. Had heavenly nights sleep on comfortable bed. Well located. We walked into town every day, but buses right outside ran frequently. Breakfast was a delight. Again a wide... More
