    The room they gave us had nothing to do with the pictures that we saw at the time we booked it. The receptionist was rude and came up with ridiculous reasons of the mismatch. I would never even consider staying in a place like this if I knew they are so deceptive. Update: next day we spoke with the manager, she was very nice. We moved to the room that we actually booked. We also enjoyed breakfast a lot!

    Medium points: Close-ish to the castle and Royal Mile if you are a good walker.

    I stayed here with my boyfriend for two nights, enjoying a weekend in Edinburgh. The staff was very…read morefriendly and helpful, and David gave us a great quick explanation on the places to visit around the city, along with a handy city map. They had no problem with us checking in a bit earlier than expected. The location is a stone's throw away from the main attractions and has a nice choice of pubs and restaurants quite close (I personally recommend The Dogs, The Queens Arms and Eteaket). The bedroom was also lovely, the bed was comfortable and the boiler with tea and coffee to brew in the bedroom was a nice touch to warm our bones from the nice Edinburgh weather. There's a common living room with books and DVDs. You can take the DVDs to your room, where you have a DVD player. The breakfast was served at the next-door restaurant: Rick's, and while the food was good, the service on one of the days was a bit shabby. We had to wait a lot for our order and half of it was forgotten, the staff seemed like they were having a collective bad day. It's not the best choice if you want to grab something quickly and be on your way to explore the city. Anyway, I'd totally recommend this place and I'll definitely stay here again when going back to Edinburgh. It's very good value for money and a pleasant experience. A bit off-topic: If you love cats - like me - you'll be delighted to know Tessa has a beautiful big cat that you can sometimes spot at her office or around the reception.

    What splendid company and breakfast! This is our first time staying in a B&B in Europe. The…read moreaccommodation was very roomy and comfortable. The bathroom was large and there were lots of nice natural light. Room had tv, coffee, tea, hot chocolate and biscuits. The building is stone and WiFi can be difficult (like any accommodation that is stone built). Once you sit in the dining room WiFi was fine. The location is fantastic, far enough from the crowd and close enough to walk to all the tours sites. We were suggested to walk through the gardens that sits parallel to the main Princess street. It's beautiful with all the flowers as we stroll through this garden to the National Gallery and to the Old City. The B& B is near the off and on bus line one short block away. We were situated in a lovely courtyard. Don't let the initial entry into the building fool you. We were a bit taken back with it too when we first got there. Once inside the B & B, all is well. It's spartan and clean. The conversation and knowledge from our hosts is what made our stay nice. Each breakfast (which sometimes linger for 2 hours because of our conversation) has really made our trip personal. We were there for 3 mornings. If you want to understand from a local perspective, this is the way to go. Take part of their history with you. Our host Duncan is fluent in at 3 to 4 languages and worked for many years as a tour guide all over Europe. His love for history is evident in his knowledge of all that he advises about what to see while in Scotland. His recommendations for sight seeing and schedule of when to get there as well as restaurants were dead one. Our other host Walter (pictured here) was a delight! He shared a local perspective and insight. Thank you for the wonderful company and for the scrumptious breakfast.

Duncan and Walter were wonderful hosts, full of useful information and made us feel at home. The breakfast, cooked to order, was delicious. I HIGHLY recommend Inchgrove House, and I will always stay there when in Edinburgh.

Once found , we were very pleased to see parking - rare in Edinburgh. The rooms were well appointed , a little small, and at first extremely noisy. We were on the first floor and could hear the clomping of guests on the exposed wood stairs. The breakfast room was also very near our door and I was thinking there was to be no sleeping - but I was wrong. Somehow , magically , the noise didn't wake us - I am a very light sleeper too. Whatever the sound dynamic was in the place - I slept very comfortably and quietly. If we were going to be spending time in our rooms , I would have found the space restrictive but for a good nights rest , it was great. The only other thing I felt was a head scratcher was the bathroom mirror. Very space age, 3-D type design that completely did not go with the decor. The breakfast room was lovely and the food was very good. The hosts are happy to accommodate your every need. They had umbrellas for the rain and a very nifty call button that summoned a cab in under 10 minutes ! It's location is walkable to some things but since you could have your car on property , it's easy to drive anywhere you want to go within a few minutes. Come and stay and enjoy this cozy gem in the midst of busting Edinburgh.

    I would give a six-star rating if it were possible. The house is in beautiful luxurious…read moreold-Scotland condition. The drawing room has Classic movies running on the TV with classic tunes played in the background. The dining room is elegant as are the place settings at every table; complete with lit candle. Breakfast is large gourmet and cooked to order including eggs poached, grilled, or scrambled, black pudding, haggis, sausage, potato scone, bacon, beans, ham and far more options. Specials are prepared on the weekends. This meal is so hardy you won't need lunch. Bedrooms are comfortable, clean, and beautifully appointed. The beds are as comfortable as any top tier hotel. The rooms can be blacked out for a very quiet deep long sleep. I slept better here then I have in months anywhere else. Good free high speed internet that is fast enough to stream video. Ross and Kathleen have created a charming experience that we will return to with every visit to Edinburgh.

    Absolutely terrible experience checking in. They somehow sent the wrong address to me in my…read moreconfirmation email. This sent me to their sister property, Queen Guest House. The person there talked over me constantly and was incredibly frustrating to deal with. Well, all that's fine enough. Once I finally did get to the hotel I discovered they are very "hands-off" with customer service. There is no front desk to speak of. I had to fill out paperwork (not something I usually have to do at hotels) in a smoldering hallway in front of the room where the receptionist sat. The customer service is absent at best, curt boarding on rude at worst. And if that wasn't enough, the room I'm in is *tiny* and at the very highest floor with no elevator. This place is *not handicap accessible*, despite what they advertise. There is only one very small dismal window located in the corner, behind a wall. The bathroom door can't be opened all the way without hitting the other furniture and can't be closed without hitting your knees if you're on the toilet. The bathroom sink has two separate faucets that don't blend hot and cold. The WiFi (all THREE of their separate networks) is so spotty I could barely load my email. Most frustrating is that when I tried to express my concerns to the receptionist I got a judgmental look and had paperwork thrust at me. They didn't even offer a "I'm sorry that happened to you" or the like. 0/10 wouldn't recommend staying here to anyone, definitely not when there are so many, assuredly superior hotels in this city.
