My wife and I spent a night a Gifford House and highly recommend it. Our room was spotless, quiet, and had a very nice en suite bathroom and shower. Margaret and David were extremely helpful and made us feel very welcome. The inn is beautiful - I particularly loved the grande skylight over the staircase. The neighbourhood is also beautiful...

This was my fourth extended stay with Margaret and David, and they have become like family. The rooms are spotless, comfortable, and quiet. The well-supplied bathroom has the amenities of home - a razor, toothbrush, toothpaste, cotton balls, band-aids, and even Q-tips. Breakfast is excellent, and not just a cheap offering of cold cereals - there's sausage, eggs, bacon, croissants,... More

I thought this place was fantastic. The building is beautiful and the room I stayed in was great value for money. David and Margaret were extremely friendly and helpful. I would certainly recommend this place to others and I would definitely go back to Gifford House the next time I go to Edinburgh.

The Gifford House was a beautiful temporary home for our 6 day stay in Edinburgh. Our room was large, comfortable and exceptionally clean. It was handy to all types of restaurants (recommend the Salisbury Arms just up the street on a weekday but not on a Friday). David and Margaret were the perfect hosts where nothing was too much trouble.... More
