The guest house has a great location, close to the Playhouse, Royal Mile, beach etc. Very clean and cosy and the breakfast is wonderful. The owners are really friendly and nice and do everything needed to offer you a pleasant stay. Would book here again in a heartbeat:).

The owner, Paola, is friendly and makes you feel you are visiting a house of a friend. She is knowledgeable about bus routes and near by facilities. My room was small but more than adequate for my needs.

This guest house (I had unfortunately just the pleasure staying there for one night) is perfect for a city trip to Edinburgh. The owner is extremely helpful and friendly. The house itself is a beautiful town house with elaborate interior and tasteful furnishing. The rooms are very nice and comfortable. I highly recommend this guest house.

Location to city/buses. Lovely breakfast Great hosts Clean shared bathroom

The sloped walls in the attic room, it was very easy to accidently crash into them. Knocked my head a few times. Maybe some furniture rearrangement could solve that problem.

Abbotsford was ideally placed a short bus ride to the coast, zoo and the city centre, the buses were every few minutes and only £3.50 for a day ticket giving unlimited travel. We couldn't fault the guest house and would certainly recommend it and will use it again next time we visit Edinburgh. Thank you Paola for a lovely stay.

Clean, comfortable and good breakfast. Excellent location for me

Although I was aware I would not have en suite in my bedroom I think a 3 star guest house should provide such a facility.

Friendly staff. Good breakfast! Good bathrooms.

Couldn't turn off heater and it was stuck on maximum.

It's a great place to stay, not far from the centre of Edinburgh and within walking distance of all the places I wished to visit. There is a very good welcome, plenty of breakfast and a comfortable room. I would stay again next time.

No, cant think of anything!

Booked a twin room which was perfect for our short stay. Breakfast was excellent and we were made to feel welcome as soon as we arrived

The owner is very easy going, trying her best to provide you with the best living experience. Clean and comfy room which is more than I bargain for. I wish Abbotsford Guest House can appear in other countries so I don't need to spend time searching for a good hotel anymore. Breakfast is nicely made. I see no drawbacks at all! Totally worth it!

The owner is a very nice lady, offer excellent breakfast, very helpful in supporting me arrange the on-line check in & print out boarding pass. the room is very spacial with Wifi.

Maybe it is because the room is old with new decoration, you can smell the carpet when stay in room for long time. The Guesthouse does not provide 24hrs receiption, therefore, need to pay attention to your check-in/arrival time. In case of agenda change, please give a call. This Guesthouse locates 15-20minutes by bus, if you prefer to enjoy the downtown all the time, you may not find convienent to take bus there.

We were told to check in anytime after 2 but had to wait for more than 1/2 hour for someone to show up and let us in. The breakfast was ok but limited and a bit cheap (prepackaged muffins and an allotment of a single small glass of juice). We understood there was offstreet parking but I don't think there is.

not too far from city centre

The simple twin roomies really too simple, apparently they changed a single room to twin room,which is so small and have no space for any other facilities tthan a table and chair, besides the table is fully occupied by tv anyway.
