Housed in a historic building, the recently renovated Kingston Guesthouse provides accommodation with a garden and free WiFi. This guest house features free private parking and luggage storage space. The guest house features family rooms. We stayed at room number 6, at the top floor (no lift). The room was very nicely decorated, everything was new, with a nice window, comfortable bed and amenities like fridge and coffee/tea. Enough plugs everywhere and even usb en usb-c connections. Our bathroom was outside the room, in the same floor, private for us. We didn’t find it a problem that it wasn’t en suite. The bathroom was also new and beautiful, with a window and proper lighting. The property parking was also a good bonus. Really easy connection to the city center by 10-15’ bus, the bus stop was 5’ walk away, safe to walk at night as well. The owners were super friendly, very quick with communication and accommodating. We definitely recommend it!

Housed in a historic building, the recently renovated Straven Guesthouse provides accommodation with a shared lounge and free WiFi. The property features quiet street views and is 90 metres from Portobello Beach and 4.5 km from Arthurs Seat. Royal Yacht Britannia is 6.5 km from the guest house and Royal Mile is 6.6 km away. Sinead and Chris are probably the best hosts in the world. I slept across the hall from the kitchen / breakfast area and they were able to be very quiet! It's 1min walking to the beach and 3min to the bus stop. The bed was so comfy. The shower nice and hot. For breakfast you can have the usual plus some scottish options, all delicious. Felt safe the whole time as a solo traveller (including bus trip at night). 10/10.
