We stayed at the Auld Reekie Guest House in May following the recommendation of the Tourist Information Centre. The two night stay was part of a driving holiday around the UK. The decor is faboulous and we were given a warm welcome. Our disappointment lies in the size of the bathroom (tiny), the lack of water pressure and the tepid... More

We arrived in Edinburgh to find the hotel we had booked hadn't got our names down and were sent to the Auld Reekie instead! I must say I am pleased, very warm friendly welcome plus everything we needed. And as a bonus it was cheaper and had more stars. Very clean and tidy nothing was to much trouble defiantly recommend!

On upon arrival at the Auld Reekie it did not disappoint!!!! The warmest greeting I have ever had from the lovely owner Rhona, who went out of her way to make us feel very welcome in her home. She told us all we needed to know about the city, how to get about with regards to busses and filled us... More

Rhona is such a wonderful host and very helpful. The breakfast is excellent and there are lots of different opitons. The guest house... More

We stayed in the Auld Reekie guest house for three days in August, and we had a lovely time. Rhona is a terrific host, and she definately goes the extra mile to help her visitors. We really enjoyed that she gladly provided her first hand knowledge about Edinburgh, and she was extremely helpful during a weekend when we were about... More

This is an excellent b&b. The rooms were lovely, the bathroom was very modern and clean. The breakfast was more than sufficient, although i didn't like the black pudding after all. No negative remarks whatsoever. Rhona is a wonderful host. And we had more than enough toast ;) Thank you for having us and giving us a room on such... More

Location is very far from the heart of Edinburgh. The hospitality is extremely poor , we couldn't even enjoy our breakfast. Hostess even denied to give just one extra toast when requested as being pure veg person options were very limited. It was worst that if pay by credit card, rate exceeds by 4% and not written anywhere. Rooms and... More

Why oh Why ! Did you ask to stay another night after your breakfast? What a surprise to read your review after I stayed up to wait on you arriving. You arrived in the middle of August very late at night via the kindness of Anna who works for one of Britain’s leading hotel groups in the city centre as... More

I had an absolutely lovely stay at Auld Reekie! I was traveling alone and opted, at the last minute, to stay in a B&B instead of a hostel, have a room of my own (and bathroom), and relax a bit. My room was lovely and airy, the bathroom was new, and my bed was made daily. The staff was very... More

spent 2 nights here on a trip up to Edinburgh for a gig. Really easy to find, park and access into the city was a doddle! Rhona was such a nice genuine, down to earth hostess and was really helpful during our stay, treat you like an old friend and really welcome you into their home & city.

We stayed here February, 2011 (no selection in drop down box?) The Auld Reekie Guest House is a very lovely, comfortable guest house in Scotland! The owners, Rhona and Brian are lovely hosts. They treat you like family with their warm and welcoming way. They kids and grandkids are great too!
