Wanted an affordable place where we could walk to Royal Mile and surrounding area. Valentines worked wonderfully. Room was in annex next door, basic clean with private bathroom not en suite, breakfast was great. Only drawback was that our big classic nicely decorated old room in front had windows that let in the street noise. Other rooms were probably quieter. More

I had a hard time finding a hotel within our budget and was very pleased when I was able to book a great low rate here. We stayed in 2 different rooms, because we decided to stay an extra night. Our first room was large, but we had to share a shower and a toilet room with two other rooms.... More

About a 15 minute walk from the Castle. Our room was on the second floor, which is up a fairly steep staircase. Fine for us, but would not be suitable if you have a problem with stairs. Room was fairly small, but very clean and comfortable with a small ensuite bathroom and a nice shower. The owners were very friendly,... More

We found this guesthouse extremely clean and comfortable. The meet and greet was excellent and was the information and hospitality throughout by all of the staff involved as well as the proprietors. The breakfasts we had were excellent and above average in our experience of uk guesthouses and hotels. We will be back. Nothing was a bother. A well deserved... More

We arrived without an advance booking. The landlord and his wife are incredibly helpful and the service offered is excellent. The guesthouse is rather a 3-star than a 2-star guesthouse. The room was clean, extremely cute, albeit a bit small..but that just contributed to its cuteness. Would definitely stay again. More

when we arrived outside property it had dirty curtains and was not in a very nice area. When we got to our room after climbing a dirty staircase we were very disappointed the room was not clean it smelt terrible of stale smoke. The en suite has mould growing and smelt of smoke. We are not fussy people if this... More

Coming from the US. I wanted to immerse myself into the local culture, so I chose a B&B with character. I was greeted in the morning with the couple who run and own the Valentine. Arriving around 9:30am my room was not ready, however they offered me a bathroom I could freshen up plus eat a traditional Scottish breakfast before... More

I booked with the Valentine largely because they actually answered my email(!) while the other B&Bs I tried in Edinburgh seemed uninterested in a single traveler. I couldn't be happier with my decision. They arranged for me to switch rooms my last night to a bigger room (at no charge) when the room I wanted was booked for my last... More

The owners were extremely friendly and helpful,my room was comfortable and the breakfast was the best I have ever had in a Guest House or,for that matter,in a hotel:there was a wide choice of items from which to select,the portions were huge and everything was delicious. I will be happy to recommend the Valentine to family,friends and colleagues. More
