To say we were impressed with the guest house and the staff would be an under statement. The attention to detail was second to none and the level of service made us feel like we were visiting family. This is just wonderful accommodation run by wonderful people. It is in a Fantastic location with plenty of parking. Keep up the... More

We stayed 2 nights and Jill was very nice and let us check in early after a long flight (the nap was welcome!) Our room was very comfortable and clean even with the short notice. Breakfast each morning was delicious. We would highly recommend the Laurels!

Stopped for two nights. Room not very clean, sheets not ironed, not a very welcoming room and the bathroom was little more than a cupboard. The couple we were with were of the same opinion. The only plus was that the location was good for the bus service into the centre of Edinburgh.

We spent five wonderful nights at the Laurels Guest House in August and enjoyed every minute we were there. The breakfasts were yummy, the rooms clean and quiet, and we especially appreciate the friendliness of Jill, John and the staff. The location is conveniently close to the bus stop with a short ride to the middle of town. We are... More

Stopped over for 2 nights at this establishment to attend the Tattoo. It fully met our needs. Room was excellent, fresh linen/towels etc and giving access via french doors into their beautiful garden. Breakfast was excellent too and good choices all round. Location was excellent also; with a main bus route passing the door and on-site parking it was equally... More

We stayed here for 2 nights during the Fringe festival. It met all our needs. The room was clean and the beds comfortable. Breakfast was well done, and were all able to accommodate my requests for gluten free, made well in advance. The guest house was on a bus route and so was easy to travel to and from the... More

Stayed one night with a fellow traveller of the feline variety. The owner was very flexible and helpful to our 'cat needs'. Room was clean and bright. No complaints from the humans ...and Mona the cat gives it 5 paws.

Wonderful stay, great room. Everything was so nice. Perfect for visiting the city (not in centre town, but with bus stop nearby 3, 3A, 8, 29 will get you in town center in about 20 mins.). A very kind stay. Recommended
