Beautiful home, friendly couple, delicious breakfasts, will definitely return!

10/10 Exceptional

Gladstone House was exactly what I needed for my short solo stay in Edinburgh. Super clean and very charming. I would stay here again if I am back in the city.

Recommend

Lovely place to stay, we had a very good size room with a nice view on the second floor. Room was very clean and the host was very helpful. Close to bus stop or a 15min walk to get to old town

Fantastic place to stay! Very clean, quiet, and incredibly friendly owners. This was our first trip to the UK and we cannot wait to return. When we do the Gladstone House will be on our list of returning stays!
Marissa, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The house was very lovely and the rooms were spacious. The stairs to the 2nd floor rooms are a bit steep though. It's a bit of a walk into old town, and there are few restaurants in the area, so plan accordingly.

The breakfast was unique and delicious. The view of Arnold's Seat was beautiful to wake up to.
Teresa, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

The hosts were very kind and informative. The parking wasn’t great and very limited. We got lucky on our second day and were able to snag one of two parking spots instead of parking offsite along a side street. Breakfast was NOT included when booking through Expedia so if you think this is a bed & breakfast, be prepared to pay extra for that. Overall a very nice house with a comfortable room.
Darrell, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Gladstone house is in a great location. The bus stop to go to the royal mile and other attractions is just a minute away. We opted not to have breakfast at our stay as there were a lot of food and drink options within a walkable distance. The property also has convenient free car parking. We were not happy with the room. We booked a regular double bed room. However, the room that we were given was a loft. The bath room was really tiny with very little head space. My wife and I both got hurt using the wash basin. After that we were extra careful. The owners are a sweet couple. However, they blamed the room allocation on Expedia. I wish either the listing or Expedia had clearly specified that the room is a loft. We would have planned for something different.

Nice B&B and friendly

Room warm and confortable but we stayed in Edinburgh on a very cold weekend and the bathroom was uncomfortably cold. Other than that faultless. Xia and Ivy were very attentive. - Thanks -Xie xie :)

J'ai bien apprécié mon séjour à Edimbourg. Nous étions dans un petit hôtel dans une maison particulière avec un personnel attentionné. Je le recommande pour des couples. Il est proche d'Arthur's seat pour les personnes qui aiment marcher. Il est un peu loin du centre et à de bons transports en commun.

Bodde 4 netter i et flott hus. Hyggelige verter som var hjelpsomme og rommet var rent og pent. God frokost i en delikat frokostsal. Kommer til å bo her på min neste tur til Edinburgh.

charmant B&B proche du centre d'Edimbourg

La chambre correspondait parfaitement à la réservation. Les hôtes sont très accueillants, sympathiques et discrets. Un arrêt de bus à moins d'une minute à pieds permet d'aller dans le centre ville en 15 minutes.

8/10 Very good

OK B and B.

Old fashioned B and B on the bus route into central Edinburgh. Don't expect parking- it's less than 'limited'.

6/10 Good

Not a hotel. It is a B&B

This is not a hotel. It is a B&B, which means no lobby,  breakfast ends early at 9:30 on the weekends, and you have to check out at 10:30 on the weekend. Rooms are large and nice but there is a lot of traffic noise comming in from the main road which makes it very hard to sleep. Service is good.

10/10 Exceptional

Easy access and friendly service

The hosts were more than welcoming, going out of their way to make us comfortable. The stay was relaxing and more than met our expectations. Breakfast was exceptional every day. Being able to attend the nearby conference but also being close to the city attractions was great for us.
