We stayed here for a couple of nights during the Edinburgh Festival. Location-wise, it's quite convenient. Not too far to walk to restaurants and pubs and an easy bus trip to the city centre.

We returned to Edinburgh in July - last time we came was five years ago and we stayed in Portobello. This time we wanted to stay closer to the town, but not to close because my husband is a golf fanatic! We decided on The Alexander Guest House in Mayfield Gardens and really enjoyed our stay. We were on the... More
