On upon arrival at the Auld Reekie it did not disappoint!!!! The warmest greeting I have ever had from the lovely owner Rhona, who went out of her way to make us feel very welcome in her home. She told us all we needed to know about the city, how to get about with regards to busses and filled us... More

Stayed there for three nights in November. The guest house is close to the city centre and there are many bus lines that bring you there. The rooms are nice, modern and clean and Wi-Fi is provided. Rhona is such a wonderful host and very helpful. The breakfast is excellent and there are lots of different opitons. The guest house... More

We stayed in the Auld Reekie guest house for three days in August, and we had a lovely time. Rhona is a terrific host, and she definately goes the extra mile to help her visitors. We really enjoyed that she gladly provided her first hand knowledge about Edinburgh, and she was extremely helpful during a weekend when we were about... More

This is an excellent b&b. The rooms were lovely, the bathroom was very modern and clean. The breakfast was more than sufficient, although i didn't like the black pudding after all. No negative remarks whatsoever. Rhona is a wonderful host. And we had more than enough toast ;) Thank you for having us and giving us a room on such... More

Location is very far from the heart of Edinburgh. The hospitality is extremely poor , we couldn't even enjoy our breakfast. Hostess even denied to give just one extra toast when requested as being pure veg person options were very limited. It was worst that if pay by credit card, rate exceeds by 4% and not written anywhere. Rooms and... More

Why oh Why ! Did you ask to stay another night after your breakfast? What a surprise to read your review after I stayed up to wait on you arriving. You arrived in the middle of August very late at night via the kindness of Anna who works for one of Britain’s leading hotel groups in the city centre as... More

I had an absolutely lovely stay at Auld Reekie! I was traveling alone and opted, at the last minute, to stay in a B&B instead of a hostel, have a room of my own (and bathroom), and relax a bit. My room was lovely and airy, the bathroom was new, and my bed was made daily. The staff was very... More

spent 2 nights here on a trip up to Edinburgh for a gig. Really easy to find, park and access into the city was a doddle! Rhona was such a nice genuine, down to earth hostess and was really helpful during our stay, treat you like an old friend and really welcome you into their home & city.

We stayed here February, 2011 (no selection in drop down box?) The Auld Reekie Guest House is a very lovely, comfortable guest house in Scotland! The owners, Rhona and Brian are lovely hosts. They treat you like family with their warm and welcoming way. They kids and grandkids are great too!

We stayed for 3 nights in a twin room. The room was like a small luxury hotel room with updated bathroom and excellent beds. Rhona was the most fun host, always so friendly and positive, she always made our day! The food was excellent, the house was clean and we would stay again in a minute. - also the bus... More

Has a wonderful experience at the Auld Reekie. The beds were so comfortable I almost overslept every morning. The bathrooms and the guest house as a whole are outstandingly clean and well taken care of it. Breakfast is lovely. The place has a wonderful homey atmosphere and Rhona is simply brilliant. I highly recommend the Auld Reekie.
