"A Beautiful House, Lovely Hosts."
Our stay could not have been better. A short distance from the city centre meant us poor 20 somethings could walk in and save the pennies. The breakfast in the mornings meant we never needed lunch, keeping us going through all our activities during the day. The beds were comfortable and clean. Read less
Likes:
The Hosts, particularly the boss, Jodie! Everything was taken care of. It is lovely to be greeted into such a warm and kind environment, it really made our trip! The food was lovely.
Dislikes:
Nope. We would not have changed a thing.
Response from Kingsview Guest House:
Sincere thanks Stephanie for such a kind and rewarding review. Jodie, Aileen and I really enjoyed having the four of you stay with us and so glad you enjoyed your stay. I have to admit that in ten years of running B&Bs this must be about the most toucing review we have received and certainly most encouraging in making our efforts worthwhile. Haste ye back! Kind regards and best wishes from us all to You and your friends. Yours aye Ruary

Dislikes:
The shower was very small and a bit leaky.
Response from Kingsview Guest House:
It was a pleasure having you stay with us Vivika over Easter. I appreciate you taking the time to give us feedback and your comments are duly noted. I respect that the twin room you were in is limited in size but every effort to utilise space within the limitations of rooms in the Elizabethan townhouse were taken. I was unaware of a problem with the shower which will of course now be dealt with. thanks again for your comments and hope we may have the pleasure of welcoming you back.Rgds Ruary

The Kingsview Guest House is open all year. We are classed as a City Centre Guest House and in easy walking distance to most places of interest with Princes Street and the Castle less than ten minutes walk away.
