“Absolutely wonderful!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

I stayed at the Highfield for three nights and I could not have chosen a better place.
The room was perfect, clean, cosy, and with all the facilities (including free and fast internet), location ideal, and the service and the staff were absolutely wonderful. The attention to detail was outstanding, and the friendly attention I received, including the personalized and extremely generous breakfast, made it particularly welcoming. I travel constantly throughout the world, from 1 to 5 stars hotels, and I have never seen such high quality for such an economical price. I will be staying there again without a doubt!

“Lovely place to stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 December 2011

My husband and I stayed here for two nights. The room and bath were very clean and nicely decorated. The beds were comfortable. The owner and staff were friendly and helpful with restaurant and sight suggestions. We had to leave early in the morning to go to the airport and the hosts packed us a breakfast and arranged for a taxi. It is about a thirty minute walk into the historic district or you can take the bus (the stop is across the street). We would definitely stay there again.

Room Tip: The house is on a main street, so if traffic bothers you, ask for a room in the back.

“Perfect guest house”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 December 2011

A bed and breakfast that provides everything you could need at extremely good value. Extremely friendly and helpful staff, spotlessly clean and comfortable rooms, and everything you need (eg TV, free wifi). Huge choice for breakfast. Very well placed for the centre of Edinburgh (on frequent bus route or a healthy stroll), and just 5 minutes walk from the University.

“Lovely friendly guest house”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 November 2011

people found this review helpful

We wanted to stay in Edinburgh for only one night to visit the newly renovated National Museum in Chamber street and see the Christmas lights. We chose the Highfield base on the recommendations on trip advisor and it's convenient location (close to the city centre and easy to find off the by-pass). We weren't at all disappointed it was as the reviews stated. The hosts we very friendly and the guest house had a warm atmosphere. We were given a large family room which was tastefully decorated and had comfortable cosy beds. The breakfast was cooked to a very high standard and there was a large choice of cereals and fruit. There was a nice selection of toiletries. We would definitely recommend the Highfield Guest House and would stay there again if we ever visit Edinburgh.
