My husband and I have been staying with the hosts, Irene and Billy Cheape, for thirty years. We wouldn't dream of staying anywhere else during our annual visits to Edinburgh. The rooms are spotless, the hosts are very friendly, and they go out of their way to accommodate any special diet requests (in my case, gluten free breakfasts). The location... More

We stayed in this hotel after booking through booking.com and got a very good flash deal at £35 per room per night. The couple who owned the b&b were very friendly and gave us plenty of information on bus routes, things to do etc. The breakfast was very good and didn't appear to be smaller (as often expected when paying...

I have been pleased to use 45, Gilmour Road for the past 7 years as my B and B for the Fringe. Bill and Irene are delightful, chatty hosts who run a comfortable, reasonably-priced house in a quiet area which is easily reached by several bus routes. The small single room has a separate shower room along the corridor. The... More

Had a lovely weekend at the Edinburgh fringe festival and made even better by our hosts at the B & B made to feel very welcome on arrival, given lots of very helpful local info i.e. busses, taxis, shops and good places to eat, all of which came in very handy and made our stay more user friendly. The best... More

My husband and I stayed at Number 45 in June and were delighted with the warm welcome we received, even being driven into town to have a quick look around with good instructions on how to get the bus back! Very comfortable B&B, fantastic breakfast, great host and if you are lucky enough to get to use the bathroom downstairs,... More

My wife and I spent a single night here. Owner Irene greeted us warmly on arrival. Our bedroom was well furnished and comfortable, with the bed one of the best I've had in any hotel-type accommodation. The ensuite bathroom was small, but adequate for a short stay. Decor is old-fashioned, but not old - the whole place is in good... More

This really is a superb find, and I am so glad we chose to stay here for our Hogmanay trip to Edinburgh! We arrived late on our first night and were immediately struck by the beauty of the décor inside Number 45. We were received warmly by Irene with information on our room and how to get into town via... More

My husband and I stayed here while visiting Edinburgh. Irene and Bill are the perfect hosts! The breakfast was good and our room was wonderful! My husband and I don't mind walking, so we walked all the way to the Royal Mile to enjoy the Festival (about 1 - 2 miles) and back again. There is also a bus route... More

Number 45 is a nice bed and breakfast on Gilmour Road. My single room was small but it is just perfect if all you need is a nice, clean and quiet place to sleep. I had to go down the hall to the bathroom, but the bathrooms are individualy assigned. I did not get to try the breakfast, because I... More
