Great old house with comfortable rooms. Very amiable and helpful host. A bit to far to walk to the royal mile for seniors, but bus stop in right accross the street more

I spent two nights in July 2007 at this very pleasant B & B about a mile from the center of Edinburgh (where the main train station, Waverly, is located). Cab ride was about £5. Look for Gifford House's own website for the latest information on pricing and direct contact numbers. The owners, Margaret and David, provide extras that are... more

After staying at numerous hotels in Edinburgh, at a comfort level well below the Gifford and at a very high price, I ended up searching for a B & B. I ended up staying at the Gifford and now I stay there every month while on business. The rooms are very spacious, clean and very nicely decorated. The owners, Margaret... more

The location is fine, right by the Commonwealth Swimming pool, and the entrance to Holyrood Park, giving you the opportunity of a pleasant stroll along the Crags to Holyrood Palace and then onto the Royal Mile.

I had the distinct pleasure of staying at the Gifford House and had the most wonderful experience. The proprieters were very accomodating and the breakfast was a cut above the rest.. I would stay there again if I am ever back in Scotland. I will reccomend this hotel to my friends. more

We stayed at Gifford House which is exceptional value! Everything there is so fresh and very, very clean! Our room was on the second floor, which was worth the climb, as the view of Arthur's Seat (The extinct volcanoe in the heart of Edinburgh) is stunning. It is so peaceful you will think you are the only guests staying! When... more

This is a great place to stay if you're looking for elegance and comfort combined. Everything looks like it's recently been redecorated, all fresh and crisp. Price was very resonable, room was comfortably large, complete with en-suite facilities. Nice and quiet, too. The owners were very accommodating, very pleasant and knowlegable. I'm not much of a breakfast eater, so I... more
