We loved everything about Kingsway. First of all the location is excellent, an easy and pleasant one mile walk to the center of the Old City. It is very close to Holyrood Park and many dining choices, pubs and shops. The inn is located on a quiet and very pretty side street with private parking, which is very appreciated. Our... More

We only stayed one night (unfortunately). The house is very cosy, the room well set up, bright and warm. The bed comfortable and the bathroom small but very good. The breakfast was good and the hosts (Lizzie and Gary) very warm and helpful. We strongly recommend it and will surely return the next time we go to Edinburgh. More

We found this accommodation recommended in our travel guide. And they were right to include this in the publication!. On the day we arrived early in the morning when the place was still buzzing with the breakfast service. We were delighted at our warm welcome, the room was ready for us and we were even invited down to eat breakfast.... More

This is an excellent B&B having spent 3 nights here on a trip with my son recently. Lizzie and Gary provide a great service and are helpful in every way possible. The breakfast is delicious and the rooms are impeccably clean. Easy access to the city centre by bus or on foot. The perfect place to stay to make your... More

While looking for a B&B to stay in Edinburgh for four nights, I knew I had to pick a special one. Kingsway was just what we needed. It was in a good location, it got great reviews and it was at a worthwhile price. Lizzie and Gary welcomed us in and it was a real treat to be under their... More

Lizzie and Gary are fantastic hosts and have been every time I stay here in Edinburgh, I wouldn't hesitate in recommending the Kingsway as a place to stay to friends or colleagues. They are very friendly and knowledgeable with plenty of tips on where to go and what to do, both day and night. Rooms and beds very clean and... More

Liz and Gary Scott are two fantastic people who know how to treat a guest. Their Kingsway B'n'B near Mayfield in Edinburgh ticks every box, the food, the rooms, the excellent attitude, the overall aesthetic. Not to mention Edinburgh is a glorious city, of the same class as Prague and San Francisco. There's also something quite alluring about listening to... More

We chose this B&B based on Tripadvisor reviews and it's all true. Very clean, cozy B&B with new furniture and bathroom. The location is good, onyl a couple of bus stops away from the city. The hosts are really friendly and gave great recommendations for pubs, restaurants and daytrips. The nearby Salisbury Arms pub is a must! More

Stayed at this great B&B in the great city of Edinburgh and found the good reviews to be justified. It was good value with very generous breakfast, wifi and parking included in the price. More

I booked this B&B after reading Tripadvisor reviews and I can see why they were good. Lizzie & Gary responded quickly to emails /calls and were very helpful. Kingsway is a welcoming guest house with clean rooms and had a modern ensuite. The bed was extremely comfy and the breakfast delicious. Whenever I come back to Edinburgh, this is where... More
