To be honest, I'd picked Abbotsford because I wanted to be close to La Favorita, the fabulous pizza place on Leith Walk, and as I knew I'd be tired from driving, I wasn't fussed about what kind of place where I'd end up sleeping (well, some place clean, of course). What I got was a great double act: a great... More

If you are looking for a Clean, comfortable guest house with a lovely landlady who serves an amazing breakfast, then you have found the best place to stay.. 15 minute walk to city centre and 10 min walk to Playhouse theatre and local bus stops a minute from the house. Value for money.

This is much more like a hotel than a guest house/B&B - the rooms looked brand new, modern flat screen TV, brand new modern bathroom and fantastic beds. The check in was so quick and the staff efficient. We were only there for a maximum of 18 hours so can't comment on the food/facilities etc - but if you're looking... More

£80 for two nights plus breakfast is a great deal for this area; this was the main selling point for me and remains the winning detail of the stay.
