Good experience
I like the location. The bus is just next to the house. The responsable gave us some information about the famous attractions in Edinburgh. He has a dog called Tom. He's very friendly. It was the first time i wasn't scared of a dog. I noticed just that the room isn't warm enough. But in general i liked the experience

A Beautiful B&B in a beautiful area, our room was lovely and very welcoming. Great location, just a quick bus ride into The Royal Mile. We loved our stay at Kingsley. Alan was a lovely host and cooks a beautiful breakfast. Also a special mention to Mr Tom, who is the sweetest house member.

Allen was a very hospitable host. I was glad he was willing to help me understand new things that as a first time out of the US traveler had difficulty with. Breakfast was prepared in a timely manner, and filling. I highly recommend.

Lovely stay
My favorite part about this location was Tom, the springer spaniel. The place was nice, breakfast was lovely, and the location was only a 20-25 min walk from the city center. Alan was welcoming and helped get my suitcase up the stairs. All in all a very pleasant stay. I would recommend. (You may want to ask for a tutorial on the shower, I didn't and I ran out of water)

I can't say enough great things about The Kingsley. The location is amazing, with just a quick bus ride taking you all over Edinburgh. The hosts' hospitality and local knowledge was second to none and they saved us a lot of searching and time when it came to our day trips. Breakfast was wonderful and offered a lot of high-quality options, all freshly prepared by Alan each day. The room was comfy and clean, and the house itself had a lot of Victorian character and charm. Highly recommended.

The bus stops right outside every few mins for easy transport into town center (about 2 miles away). Nearest pub for food/drink is about a 15 min walk away. Staff were lovely and very helpful and made us feel very welcome - would definitely stay here again!

Clean and comfortable B&B with good breakfast
Clean and comfortable B&B with good cooked to order breakfast and attentive hosts. Walking distance (25 mins +) to the city centre, also serviced by main bus routes with easy access to restaurants/cafes and located in a nice and safe area. I wouldn’t recommend for business the room I booked (single room) as it did not have a desk or a place to work and I had a two hour meeting sitting in bed in an uncomfortable position. There was electrical work during my stay which meant the Internet wasn’t working and I couldn’t charge my laptop but the hosts kept me informed and tried to rectify as soon as possible. Internet speed was ok, I think more charging points would have been beneficial. Check-in times are restricted, please check if you are arriving late (after 10 pm) as there is a surcharge. Free parking is available off-site, in adjacent streets to the B&B.
