I stayed at gladstone house while at a conference in Edinburgh. My room was really nicely decorated and very clean. The owners of the place were very charming, warm and welcoming. The breakfast was delicious! Minor issue was that the room was cold during the day because its on a timer. So the one day when i stayed in the... More

Thank you for taking the time to write this review. We are so happy that you enjoyed your stay in our Guesthouse and got a chance to see some of our beautiful city between conference events.

We had a very pleasant 3-days stay at this loveley guesthouse. Our room was a very comfortable and beautiful room with garden view. Everything was perfectly cleaned. The owners are so friendly and helped us with any query. We really enjoyed the delicious breakfast with a great offer of different breakfast menus. The town center is just 1,6 km away... More

Positives: Nice furnishing/clean Reasonable location Negatives: We felt that this place was generally unaccommodating, uncomfortable in terms of hosting skills and poor value for money. It felt like we were children at school and we were behaving badly and therefore being punished. We felt that the hosts had an attitude where they felt that their place was better than any... More

Thank you for the positives and the high score for cleanliness. We are sad to read of your disappointment with your stay with us. When you booked with us, the agency site you used did state arrival times and that we reserve the right to charge for late arrivals. This was further made clear when we sent you our own... More

I was watching a TV program that was set in Edinburgh and wanted to see if the B&B that I stayed at in 1996 was still there. Yes, it is and now has a website that brought back lovely memories. My friend and I found Gladstone House through the "I" station at Edinburgh rail station and were so lucky! Convenient... More

It is good to hear that your visit to our website brought back fond memories. You will have noticed a lot of changes since your last visit. We have made many improvements since you were here and the biggest achievement would be the award of another star by Visit Scotland (our Scottish tourist board) making us now a four star... More

Stayed at Gladstone House in November and have been meaning to write this review for a while. We stayed here on a two night break. We arrived early but we asked if we could leave the car and go for a walk until the check-in time, we did this and never used the car again until we left. Our room... More

Thank you so much for your revue. We really do enjoy it when guests want to chat over breakfast. And you are right about not needing to use a car in Edinburgh. We often suggest to guests from abroad who are touring Scotland not to hire a car while with us, but instead to wait until they start their tour. More

Wonderful accommodation in a good location for walking or getting the bus into the city Tom and Hamish were so helpful in telling us about what to do in the city. Breakfast set us up for the day and there were plenty of places to eat in the evening just a short walk away .Well recommended.

The Gladstone House in Edinburgh was a gift. A lovely turn of the century house with a large, light room. We arrived quite late and were able to walk to pubs close by for dinner. The owners are meticulous in their care of the B&B, and breakfast was a delight. The Inn was located ~25-30 walking distance to central Edinburgh.... More

Thank you for taking the time to write such a lovely review for our guest house. We really like the title you chose. As you would probably have noticed, we really like our food. So, to us, a good breakfast is just as important as a clean, cosy room and comfy bed. More

After a long trip from the Lake District to Edinburgh, we were warmly greeted by the owners. The room was small but immaculate and every detail was attended to in the decorations and amenities.
