Kilmaurs is located just off a main road (free parking on street), about a 25 minute scenic walk from the bottom of the Royal Mile, or on a main frequent bus route into town. The owners were very friendly, the rooms were large and comfortable and the breakfast in the morning was fantastic - an extensive buffet with lots of... More

The Guest House was clean, the breakfast was great and the owners were very friendly and helpful. My only thought was the bathroom was quite small. Not a problem for my cousin and I but would be for a larger person. We enjoyed our stay and would stay again if we returned.

My self and my husband spent 2 nights at Kilmaurs guest house in Edinburgh. It's our second time there as we enjoyed it so much the first time. I'd say it's the best guest house we've been to!! The guest house is in a great location, on a lovely quiet street only a 2 minute walk from the main road... More

My wife and I spend the night here recently and we greatly enjoyed the location near Arthur's Seat. Very easy to get to downtown by bus from the guest house also. Breakfast provided was very good. The owners of the home or pleasant and knowlegable, just do not accidentally peek into a private room, you may be barked at by... More

Lovely bedrooms, lovely house. The hostess, Donna, is very welcoming and available for advices and well-beign of her guests. Breakfast was excellent. My bedroom was very cosy and quiet. Kilmaurs guest house is just 5-10mn from main city attractions, by bus. Not so far if you want to walk. I'll go back there when I'm back n Edimbourgh. Thanks Donna... More

We very so pleased with our stay at Kilmaurs House. Donna was very helpful and the rooms were comfy and cozy, with a view of Arthur's Seat. The breakfasts were great, with lots of fresh fruit, as mentioned in other reviews. We had trouble picking up our rental car and Donna went out of her way to help us with... More

We couldn't have asked for a nicer place. It was quite cozy and quite in a nice neighborhood. The room was clean well furnished for all our needs. The breakfast was deliciously hand prepared by the host with fresh fruit,cereals, and bacon and eggs on request. The only downside was that parking was a little hard to find.

The welcoming of our hostess, Donna, was amazing. She was always available to give us tips, look at our comfort, or simply chat with us. The breakfast also is amazing and can be customized following our taste. It is well situated since it is at the corner of a bus stop that passes frequently and brings you downtown in less... More

This was my first trip to Scotland and I was by myself. I had a hard time finding a place to stay that wouldn't charge me for 2 people. Kilmaurs offers a wonderful single room en suite and only charges for 1 person. The owners are very nice and welcoming and well as helpful. I got in on a late... More

I was staying with two friends for one night. We were warmly greeted by the owner who went to great lengths to make us feel welcome. Our rooms were clean and functional with a great view of Arthur's Seat. Highlight of the stay was breakfast - served in a lovely bright room - fresh fruit abounded with cereals and tasty... More
