“Wonderful place to stay in Edinburgh”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 September 2010

The Balmoral Guesthouse is an excellent B&B! Marc was so kind and helpful. He assisted us in finding transportation to the airport and had nice tips for us during the entire weekend and with his great breakfast he made sure we had enough power to walk around Edinburgh all day long :)The rooms are very clean and cozy . The distance to the city center or the waterside of Leith are both about a 10-15 minute walk or 5 minute bus or taxi ride.We really enjoyed the weekend and would recommend this B&B to anyone traveling to Edinburgh!

“Great place”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 September 2010

The guest house is about a mile downhill from town and on the major bus lines. Marc & Marianne served a delicious breakfast, and the showers were wonderful with great water pressure. We loved our stay there and the space was more than we needed. It was a huge bedroom for 2 of us.

“Very comfortable, convenient, good value”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 August 2010

I stayed at Balmoral Guest House for two nights with my 11-year-old daughter and extended family across the hall. We were in room 8 (?) on the top floor with a nice view of the garden and nice private bathroom just outside our room. The room was comfortable and clean with a personal feel to it. Breakfast was terrific, with fruit and cereals in addition to the hot breakfast offered. The breakfast room is a really nice space with a big bay window. Great value, kind service, nice room.

“Best Bed and Breakfast so far”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 July 2010

We all had a lovely time at the Balmoral Guesthouse which made up for the rather grey weather of Scotland. We had a large family room on the first floor which we all loved and breakfast was fab. We were given great tips by Marc about places to take the children. There are late supermarkets and lovely restaurants just around the corner form the house. We highly recommend this guesthouse which is only a 15 minute walk to Princes st.
