The room was large and beautifully furnished, as well as thoughtfully appointed. Breakfast was delicious, cooked to order. Our hostess Aileen could not have been more charming, kind, and welcoming. Easy walking distance from airport transportation, 20 minute walk to Edinburgh Castle and other points of interest. We hated to leave, and would definitely stay again. More

I stayed here with my sister last weekend and would say that with out a doubt The Victorian Town House ticks all the boxes... warm, nicely decorated rooms, with comfy beds, access to WIFI, really tasty breakfasts, and a warm and friendly hostess. I definitely recommend staying here if you ever get the chance to visit Edinburgh. More

Stayed here for two nights while visiting Edinburgh as part of a larger trip around the UK. Can't say enough good things about this place. The rooms were clean, warm, and well decorated. The complementary whisky and chocolates were grand, and the breakfasts were delicious. Will definitely be calling in again if I ever find myself back in Edinburgh! More

From the minute you arrive Aileen makes your stay very welcoming . What can I say, everything was beyond our expectations. The breakfasts were fabulous, rooms spacious and clean and we will definately stay here again if we are in Edinburgh. Thank you Aileen, we'll be back!! Christine & Dieter. More

We would highly recommend this hotel. We visited Edinburgh for our silver wedding and could not have wished for a warmer welcome. Aileen was the perfect host - the room was large and luxurious and the breakfast beautiful. We felt at home as soon as we arrived. It was a pleasant 15 min walk to the centre which suited us... More

Aileen is a very good hostess. But one can get better accommodation in Edinburgh for less. Things I did not like. No parking, no good views as the rooms are in the basement. Average breakfast. If this was a rating for hostess this would rate high but not for comparable accommodation in Edinburgh for the price. More

Just a 15 minute walk from the Royal Mile, The Victorian Town House will make you feel like a resident of Edinburgh! Spacious doesn't begin to describe the room, more like an apartment feeling. Large windows and a sofa with coffee table, the wonderful wardrobe and dresser, the fireplace with beautiful mantel, and comfy beds with pillows galore, and the... More

Outstanding room, excellent breakfast, near enough to everything, but tucked out of the way. The proprieter, Aileen, was so helpful that I cannot describe it. Both my wife and I felt welcome from the moment we arrived, and she helped us with taxis and travel details. Weleft totally impressed. There was just alittle street noise in the mornings, but it...

Not far from the city center this cosy B&B is situatet. Our host Aileen gave us a very warm welcome and was very helpful throughout our stay. The room was spacious and lovingly arranged. Nice breakfast with fruit, pancakes or full scottish. In our opinion, The Victorian Town House is an ideal accomodation, both for short trips or for extended... More

We stayed in the Victorian Townhouse for five nights in mid-September and very much enjoyed our stay. The rooms are large, clean and tastefully decorated. Aileen Reeves, the owner, is warm, gracious and delightful. She is also an outstanding cook! Breakfast choices include fresh berries, yogurts, cereals, eggs, back bacon, mushrooms, tomatoes and the list goes on and on. The... More
