“Comfortable, clean, good value and great owner!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 November 2011 via mobile

My wife and I stayed at this guest house based on the listing in the Rick Steve's guide books. Like typical Rick recommendations, this B&B is a solid choice. Good value, especially in the off season. Clean room, great breakfast between 8 and 9 am (made to order - you select your choices the night before) small shower and bathroom, but more than enough. Free wifi, although reception is hit and miss from the room.

Jill, the owner is very personable and sweet. She helped us with good recommendations and printed directions. Yes, the scones and tablet (like fudge) is GREAT!

About a 30 min walk or very easy bus ride to Royal Mile and Waverly train station. About a 10 min walk to some nice pubs through what felt like very safe residential.

We will be back!

“Fantastic stay!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 October 2011

The owner makes this place! Jill was so helpful!She had the best maps and advice and never steered us wrong! The rooms were comfortable and the breakfast was great. We enjoyed the walk every day to the Royal Mile and this was our favorite B&B in Scotland!

Room Tip: The smaller rooms are good if you are staying for a quick stay but for 10 pounds more you get a litt...

“Good value within walking distance of main sights in Edinburgh.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 September 2010

person found this review helpful

This B&B is within walking distance of The Royal Mile if you like to walk. If it is raining, there is a bus stop nearby. The owner is quite helpful, and provided a sweet "tablet" like fudge as well as tea and cookies. She gave us a good area map which listed local pubs and places to eat. The room was clean and large with a good view of Arthur's Seat. The breakfast was also very good. We were able to park on the street outside of the B&B so parking wasn't a problem. To get to the bedrooms, you need to walk up two flights of stairs, which might be a problem for some people. We were very happy with this B&B and would stay there again.

“I' ve felt like at home”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 September 2010

I' ve stayed three nights in Airdenair, together with my wife and daughter. We' felt like at home. My daughter was starting first year in Edinburgh University and we were all very worried about her living home for a foreign country.
Jill gave us some good advices like a friend which helped us to clear some of our concerns. This would never happened if we'd choose to stay in a hotel.
I would prefer to stay again at Airdenair than in a hotel next time when I will be in Edinburgh .
Cheers Morgan! :)
