I never usually write reviews but felt this place deserved one. We stayed 2 nights in a comfortable clean, spacious room with a modern bathroom. Good attention to detail, with room cleaned when we were out and Restocked toiletries and biscuits and tea. Breakfast was delicious, especially the veggy haggis, fresh coffee and poached eggs- set in a beautiful Victorian... More

We have stayed here twice now in order to visit the Jazz Festival in Edinburgh. Anita and David are excellent hosts and the guest house is immaculately clean. Breakfasts are freshly prepared and delicious. Parking is free in Pilrig Street and it is easy to leave your car and walk into town. Highly recommended.

We stayed at the Ayden for the bank holiday in May. It was our first time in Edinburgh so we wanted a convenient base to explore the city. From booking onwards, Anita and David could not have done more to help us, responding promptly to emails, making sure we knew exactly how to get there from the airport, giving us... More

The house is very nice, the room very confortable and the bed superb! Just stayed one night due to lack of availiability in other B&B where I stayed the first two nights.
