We spent a little pre Christmas holiday at the Glenalmond House and all I can say is what a wonderful time we had! Jimmy and Fiona were such wonderful hosts, helping us with traversing all the winter wonders of Edinburgh. The bus lines run right next to house, and it's a very safe neighborhood for anyone out a little late.... More

And Jimmy & Fiona were grand hosts! Breakfasts to die for-- lots of assistance helping us plan the day's/week's activities and flexibility about our pre-booked room when we took off for 2 nights mid--week. VERY nice safe neighbourhood and the bus line runs right in front, so that was convenient too. Also glad they had a laptop for guest's use... More

My partner and I stayed at Glenalmond House for two nights in September 2011. It was a great place to stay and was only a mile away from the Royal mile shopping areas and tourist areas of Edinburgh. The local bus was easy to use and picked you up and dropped you off almost in front of Glenalmond House at... More

Came to Edinburgh to meet an old friend and stayed overnight in a four star hotel I had chosen fairly randomly. The Glenalmond House deserved all of it's four stars and more. Lovely comfortable rooms with a charming and luxurious feeling. Friendly owners, and the icing on the cake was my choice from the extensive breakfast menu. Perfectly cooked scrambled... More

We stayed two nights in the family room and found it very comfortable. Fiona and Jimmy were very welcoming and helpful. Free parking is a big bonus here as we just parked the car and rode the bus into town. The food was delicious!! Even though the room faced out onto the street, noise was not a problem at all... More

Making an emergency trip to Edinburgh we found the Glenalmond House B&B by pure chance, having been told there were numerous hotels &c in the area, and thank goodness we did. Jimmy and Fiona went out of their way to make us feel welcomed and at home, above and beyond what might be called their professional duty. Though we arrived... More

I have just read the last ten or so reviews, ranging from the (mostly) very positive to the dispariging comments about neighbourly noise, ensuite claustrophobia & personal notes about the staff. I can in hindsight understand everything that has been written, but need to put my own slant on it all.We stayed as a family of 3 for the Tattoo... More

The house is conveniently located with bus stops to all over the city literally right outside the front door. You are not on the main drag so you can sleep at night. The beds were very comfortable. For some the rooms might be small, but I know they have bigger ones. The breakfast room was gorgeous and the meal was... More
