Paola made us very welcome. Guest house is clean and tidy. Rooms are small and everything creaks, floor boards, doors, cupboards, etc. It is a good 15/20 minute walk to the heart of Edinburgh through not a nice area. My car wing mirror was vandelished in the street out side the guest house. Nice enough accomodation poor location

Abbotsford is a truly lovely building.....apart from that it's a basic, and very expensive, B&B in a fairly run-down part of the City ( walking into town really doesn't feel too safe )

Room was very small, bathroom very cramped and room was boiling hot even when the radiator was switched off by us as the radiator stayed on until the whole house went off ( No, I don't get that either )

Room exceptionally clean and well-stocked with tea, coffee etc. The much-praised Paola was pleasant but, for someone apparently born and bred in Edinburgh, knew very little about it and advice on how to get to places was dodgy to say the least ( and patently inaccurate in one case )

Breakfast was perfectly OK if nothing special. Overall, a very expensive B&B for what you get and where it is

Enjoyed a long weekend at this guest house. The room was very clean and boy, does Paola do a good breakfast. Access to Princes Street is about a 20 minute walk but there is an excellent bus service. Next time in Edinburgh we will definitely be returning.

We stayed at the Abbottsford for 3 nights with friends and really enjoyed ourselves, What a lovel lady Paola is, so helpfull and caring nothing to much trouble always got a smile on her face.

We had a great breakfast to set us up for the day all you could eat real coffee and lurpack butter yum yum.

The rooms were very clean, lovely fresh towels and bedding just what you need for a nice break. Well done Paola thanks for looking after us.
